As the heat continues and the protection of the skin becomes a daily required, rising questions around sunscreen ingredients and their possible long-term health effects are beginning to appear on the surface.

Recent studies and international security reviews have usually highlighted concerns about some chemical ingredients used in sunscreen, especially their ability is absorbed into the bloodstream and acts as a disruptions of hormones.

A hormone dissolution is a chemical that has the ability to cross the cell membrane and interfere with the body’s natural hormone production.

But dermatologists insist on the fact that this does not mean that sunscreen are unsafe or should be completely avoided.

Rather, it is a reminder that we have more information about what we apply to our skin every day.

Kaushambi told indianoday.in, “The anxiety for the safety and effectiveness of sunscreen ingredients has been extended after the recent evidence of systemic absorption of their average status after topical application.”

Attention -drawing materials are oxybenzone and octinoxet, two UV filters are widely used for the sun’s ability to absorb harmful UVB and UVA rays.

However, both have been found in blood, urine, breast milk and even amniotic fluid, which raise questions about hormonal balance and their possible effects on fetal development.

While these materials have not been banned and many countries including India continue to be approved for use, doctors say more research is required.

The US FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) has highlighted the importance of evaluating all sunscreen ingredients with a systemic absorption level more than 0.5 Ng/ml, Dr. Sanke informed.

Does sunscreen disrupt Homone?

Some studies have pointed to potential associations with thyroid change, pantal development, kidney function and immune health, although these conclusions are inconclusive.

Other ingredients under investigation include homosalat, advengone, octasalat, and octocrillin, usually found in several commercial sunscreen yogas and are approved by the US FDA.

However, research is certainly away.

Bangalore -based Tvakhology Dr. Divya Sharma said, “Octinoxet and oxybenzone are also present in plastic packaging, water, air and cosmetics. The body has been found in liquids, their systemic risk has not proved to be harmful in humans.”

He said that sunscreen security is still under active investigation globally, but no regulatory agency has yet called to stop their use.

What should consumers do?

Dr. Sanke and Dr. Sharma both suggests that mineral sunscreen, which contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, may be a safe option for the people concerned.

These elements blocked rather than physically absorb UV rays, and when they can also enter the skin in small amounts, the current data does not indicate toxicity.

In fact, many sunscreen yogas available in India have already phased out older components such as PABA and Trichanolamine, which were previously associated with security concerns.

While some studies have raised concerns about the sunscreen chemicals affecting fish microbyota and aquatic systems, any evidence yet connects these effects with human health.

Dermatologist recommends that sunscreen is a significant defense against skin cancer and premature aging, especially in a country like India where UV indexes often climb.

The sunscreen will be misled to avoid completely fear, the doctors warned.

Instead, the advice is to choose wisely, see the component label, and choose the option of mineral-based products, where possible, especially for children, pregnant women or people with sensitive skin.
