Chemical sunscreens like avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate can accumulate in the body at high levels, according to a new study. Studies have indicated a possible association between some of theses chemicals and health risks such as endocrine disruption and reproductive harm -- and we all know that fibroids are exacerbated by endocrine disruption and are a type of reproductive harm.
So instead, when you are heading to the beach, choose chemical sunscreens featuring zinc and titanium dioxide. I personally like the Suntegrity line for body.
