Nanoparticles and sunscreen safety

0

helpful points

Sunscreen safety just got more complicated with concerns about "nanoparticles".  Do these ingredients worry you?

These tiny, engineered particles are poorly understood but preliminary research suggests that some may have harmful effects on humans.

Sunscreens that look white when applied to the skin probably do not have nanomaterials; sunscreens with nanomaterials are generally transparent. However, the only way to know for sure whether nanomaterials are among your sunscreen's ingredients is to contact the manufacturer.
