You’re Probably Not Allergic To All Sunscreen
Some people believe that they’re allergic to sunscreen. More accurately, they are allergic to a certain ingredient inside of the sunscreen. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, these are the most common allergins in sunscreen: fragrances, cinnamates, dibenzoyl methane, benzophenone-3, and oxybenzone.
If you experience an allergic reaction to sunscreen, visit your doctor or allergist. Not all sunscreens contain the same ingredients. Determine what you’re allergic to, and hunt down sunscreens without that ingredient. Whatever you do, don’t forsake sunscreen completely. It could save your skin!
