The Hidden Dangers of Oxybenzone in Sunscreen: Protect Your Baby and the Environment

Many chemical sunscreens contain potentially harmful ingredients, such as oxybenzone, a synthetic chemical that not only absorbs the sun’s rays but also easily penetrates the skin. Babies are particularly vulnerable as they absorb more of the chemical relative to their weight. At Sprout Babies, we prioritize your baby's safety and the environment. Here's why you should be cautious about oxybenzone and choose safer alternatives like our favorite sunscreen by Thinkbaby.

Why Should You Be Cautious About Oxybenzone?

Coral Concerns: Oxybenzone has been linked to coral bleaching, threatening our precious coral reefs by disrupting their ecosystems when washed into the ocean.

Hormonal Hazards: Studies suggest oxybenzone may act as a hormone disruptor, which is especially concerning for children and expectant mothers.

Allergic Risks: Oxybenzone can trigger allergic reactions or skin sensitivities in some individuals, leading to irritation or more severe dermatological issues.

Environmental Effects: Apart from harming coral reefs, oxybenzone can accumulate in the environment, impacting aquatic life in waterways.

Choose oxybenzone-free sunscreens with mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for effective sun protection without the drawbacks.
