IT'S OFFICIAL THE FDA

🛑Scanned With The Pura App🛑 Your sunscreen doesn't stay on your skin — the FDA found it in people's blood. Here's what most people don't know: there are two kinds of sunscreen that work in opposite ways. Mineral (zinc or titanium) sits on top of your skin and reflects the sun. Chemical sunscreen absorbs the UV and turns it into heat — so its synthetic filters, like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octocrylene, have to soak in. And they don't stop at your skin. In an FDA study (JAMA, 2020), those filters showed up in people's bloodstream after a single application — far past the agency's own safety-testing threshold — and some were still circulating weeks later. Oxybenzone, the most common one, is a documented endocrine disruptor: it acts like estrogen in the body and is tied to hormone imbalances. It's banned in Hawaii to protect coral reefs, yet it's still approved to soak into your skin. To be clear — don't stop wearing sunscreen. Skin cancer is the real risk. Just switch to a mineral (zinc) sunscreen that protects without absorbing into you. Check Pura to see what's really in your sunscreen — and which ones come back clean. Scanned With The Pura App
