Re: Benzene detected in many sunscreen products
#2So this is bad, obviously, but I want to plug Valisure and consumerlab both. For whatever reason there’s so little testing out there for both generic drugs and vitamins and supplements, and both of these guys really do have our backs. I’m very happy to support both to be doing what I feel like the FDA with more funding should be doing themselves.

#3Seems like if this is true, it's something that shouldn't be behind a paywall. Does anyone have a list of the affected products? The actually research data and details I certainly support being behind a paywall however. Actually upon a quick google found the direct links to the files that list the products that are and are not contaminated. Glad that most all EltaMD (the most popular on Amazon are not effected but a couple models are).

#4Pretty interesting. Some of the products where benzene was detected don't even have anything volatile on their list of active ingredients. "Ethical Zinc Lotion", is just supposed to be 22% zinc oxide, with no Octocrylene, Oxybenzone, etc.

It’s not behind a paywall. Scroll down to the bottom of the article - there are links to documents with the affected products and not affected products. Here’s the document with the affected documents: https://www.valisure.com/wp-content/uploads/Valisure-Citizen...
