THE SUNSCREEN RECALL

FINDING BEAUTY MOM

WHAT TO KNOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN SAFE

Recently, Aveeno and Neutragena sunscreens have been voluntarily recalled as traces of benzene have been found. 

WHAT IS BENZENE?

According to the CDC, it's a chemical naturally found in volcanoes and forest fires, and a natural part of crude oil, gasoline, and cigarette smoke.

Benzene is not an ingredient found in sunscreens, and this specific issue is thought to be a manufacturing contamination.

THE TAKEAWAY

Two ways to protect yourself with this new information.....

KEEP WEARING SUNSCREEN

The damage from the sun is greater than traces of harmful chemicals.  Always apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and get in the shade. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF

Buy brands with transparent supply chains and use safe ingredients.  Read labels.  Knowledge is power with your every day consumer products.
