Sunscreens contain amino benzoic acid and its esters (PABA), cinnamates, and oxybenzene can cause a skin rash and allergic photosensitivities. A new nitrosamineknown as NPABAO was found in certain sunscreens containing padimate-O as theactive ingredient. Nitrosamines themselves can be
Carcinogenic. Miscellaneous compounds, such as fragrances, lanolin, alcohol, andpreservatives may also cause skin and eye irritation or sensitization. Many ofthe popular ingredients in our full-spectrum sun protection products are loadedwith toxins. Avobenzone is used a lot, and some scientists have
noted that it breaks down after being on the skin for only an hour

TO WHAT EXTENT THESE CHEMICALS ARE TOXIC TO YOU
At best when you use sunscreen your body and ours are absorbing synthetic chemicals, and with "experts " recommendations to applygenerous amounts of the product every few hours, you will likely be absorbing afair amount. It is hard to believe that all of these chemicals will not haveany effect on your system or others sharing the swimming pools and facilities.
Please look for fragrance free products with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical barriers that reflect UV rays are less problematic in terms of absorption.
