Is sunscreen bad for me? A dermatologist's perspective on the safety of sunscreens, including a list of potentially harmful ingredients. While some concerns exist, the benefits of using sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and aging outweigh the risks. Consult our list of bad sunscreens to make informed choices.
Potential endocrine disruptors in skincare like parabens and UV filters have unclear long-term safety with chronic use. Data gaps exist on absorption and biological effects from topical exposures over years.

Further research on ingredients and regulation are needed to define risks. More transparency and alternatives may reduce concerning exposures.
