Why does WOTNOT sunscreen exclude chemical UV-absorbers?
Chemical UV-absorbers are absorbed very easily into the body and into the bloodstream. We have chosen not to use chemical UV-absorbers in our formula due to international medical research articles that have shown some chemical UV-absorbers have the potential to cause health problems. Chemical sunscreens also have the potential to cause allergic dermatitis and also photo-allergic dermatitis. (Photo-allergic dermatitis differs from allergic dermatitis, as the irritation occurs only after the skin comes into direct exposure with the combination of the allergic substance and sunlight.) Physical sunscreens like zinc oxide do not cause this problem.
