That actually doesn’t seem that toxic. Doesn’t seem like a carcinogen either. Obviously still bad, but at least we’re not talking about something on the tier of phenol or benzene here!
> benzene Amazing how we are ok with it being in petrol, getting exposed every day, literally blowing exhaust in kids faces, yet someone found a trace of it in name-brand sunscreen and everyone lost their minds.
While benzene vapors are bad, we probably shouldn't tolerate very much benzene being in things that are rubbed onto the skin intentionally. Trace amounts as you say might not really matter though.
