This mini documentary is mainly about the chemical oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is the active ingredient in most sunscreens. But it is also a hormone disruptor that mimics oestrogen in the body of humans, marine mammals and fish. It also is a prominent cause of coral death and bleaching worldwide. Oxybenzone is deathly to coral at concentrations equivalent to one drop diluted between 6 olympic size swimming pools.

Please watch this short video and inform yourself about the health and environmental impacts of oxybenzone. It’s only 11 minutes of your day.

Ever since my son sprayed aerosol sunscreen all over my bathroom ( which was a pleasant surprise) upon cleaning up the mess, it took the paint off of the frame I built around it and painted 3 days earlier. So it is a sunscreen and paint remover. Oh the many things it can do. Been avoiding the stuff like the plague ever since. Thanks for the info

Thank you for the info that kinda sucks I am not sure how many times I slop the stuff on I have up voted and am following you.
