Harmful Chemicals

In 2021 the European Commission found that three non-mineral ultraviolet, or UV, filters, oxybenzone, homosalate and octocrylene – are not safe in the amounts at which they’re currently used.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), which is present in almost every sunblock, is classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

It was also reported that these chemicals could be detected on the skin and in the blood weeks after they had last been used.

Protect Marine Life

Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound widely used in sunscreens and other products to reflect the sun's harmful rays.

TiO2 nanoparticles present big dangers to Marine life. They harm fish and algae. These nanoparticles stay in ecosystems for a very long time.

The Centre for Research and Teaching in Environmental Geoscience (CEREGE [Centre de Recherche et d’Enseignement de Géosciences de l’Environnement]) discovered that sunscreens release significant quantities of polluting TiO2 into the sea, which are potentially damaging to sea life.

TiO₂ nanoparticles are used as one of the main ingredients in sunscreens, given that they protect against ultraviolet rays. In the study carried out by CEREGE on three beaches in southern France, researchers found that the nanoparticles lose their protective layer in water, due to the influence of UV light or seawater, exposing the marine environment to the most toxic TiO₂.

This means that, for a beach that is visited by around 3 000 people per day, close to 2.2 tonnes may be deposited over the course of the summer.
