Sunblock Cancer Claims
Sunblock is supposed to protect people from cancer. It’s not supposed to give people cancer. An independent product testing lab has found many popular brands contain benzene. Let’s take a look at what this means.
What Is Benzene?
Benzene is one of the 20 most widely-used chemicals in the United States. Additionally, it is a part of crude oil and gasoline. Benzene is a chemical known to cause cancer.
Why Is Benzene In Sunblock?
It is important to know benzene is not a normal ingredient in sunblock. However, testing did find high amounts of benzene in certain sunblock products. The product testing lab suggests the sunblocks are contaminated during manufacturing.
Independent Product Safety Testing
Manufacturers can’t be trusted to test their own products for safety. This situation highlights the importance of constant independent product testing. You might remember the Zantac recall of 2019? That testing revealed NDMA contamination in ranitidine.

While there is currently no direct study to link sunscreen and cancer, the news about benzene contamination is relatively new. This information could link people with the cause of their cancer.
