Sunscreen Chemicals Accumulate at High Levels in Your Body
July 30th, 2020

Data from FDA-funded research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)1 in 2019 and 20202 have shown that certain ingredients in sunscreen products may build up in the body at unhealthy levels. The chemicals studied were avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate.
Some of these ingredients may accumulate at levels greater than what would be considered safe, according to the lead researcher and team that conducted both studies. This begs the question of whether the FDA should reconsider whether the products are safe.3 As Consumer Affairs explained:4
“The FDA gets concerned if ingredients are found in the bloodstream at a level of 0.5 nanograms per milliliter or higher. At that level, the FDA says chemicals need to undergo a rigorous analysis to make sure they don’t have harmful health risks … [the] six chemicals found in sunscreen products were found at levels ranging from 3.3 to 258.1 per milliliter, depending on the product and how it was applied.”
This is worrisome because the study showed that all of the sunscreen chemicals were still above safety levels seven days after application, with two of them still above the threshold on Day 21, according to The Wall Street Journal:5
“… if active ingredients are found in the blood at a level of 0.5 nanograms per milliliter or higher, they should be analyzed to determine whether they increase the risk of cancer, birth defects or other adverse effects … Previous studies have indicated a possible association between some of the chemicals and health risks such as endocrine disruption and reproductive harm, but no comprehensive safety data are available.”
The studies serve as yet another warning as the fear of the sun and the infatuation with sunscreens continues. In 2010, environmental groups warned that nearly two-thirds of sunscreens provide inadequate UVA protection compared to their UVB ray protection.6 UVA rays are linked to skin aging and UVB rays are linked to skin burning.7
