Answer 1:
I am not entirely sure what you mean by
'organic' sunscreen.Organic molecules are
typically just comprised of carbon, nitrogen,and
oxygen. These molecules would not be terribly
great at absorbing UV rays, which are the primary
cause of skin cancers, because they are not as
stable under those conditions. Also, they can
have potentially bad side effects as well. If you
mean 'organic' like you have organic foods, then I
think that the organic sunscreens can be very
effective. The active ingredient in sunscreen is
usually a mineral, such as ZincOxide or Titanium
Dioxide that is dispersed in a lotion-like
liquid.These minerals are "inorganic", but the
lotion that they are dispersed in can be made out
of all natural products, without bad
chemicals.Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide are also
found naturally and do not pose any immediate
threat to humans. Click Here to return to the search form.
