INGREDIENTS: RECIPE FOR HEALTH
Let’s look at what makes up sunscreen products and how to tell what is best for our health. A sunscreen product basically contains these main ingredients: lisadimate, aminobenzoic acid, padimate O or roxadimate. The other added ingredients tally up a lengthy list, resulting in sunscreen agents being available pretty much in the following varieties, covering products in cream, lotion, gel, spray, oil, lip balm, stick and combination forms across the United States and Canada, with respect to MICROMEDEX Thomson Healthcare’s 2004 research report:Aminobenzoic Acid, Padimate O, and Oxybenzone
