I assume they are unaware they are composed entirely of chemicals. A thought that springs to mind every time someone starts carrying on about horrible, horrible chemicals. And botulinum toxin is a natural product. Deadly af, but natural.

Oh ffs. I’m genetically predisposed to skin cancer and have already had two cancers removed and usually remind folks to wear sunscreen. Can’t wait to run across one of those people! (Obligatory: both mine were in spots that have never seen the sun. Annual screenings are very important!!)

PFAS (forever chemical)-waterproof, in many sunscreens. Many chemicals are absorbed thru the skin. Endocrine disruptors. I’ve got a photosensitivity. I cover up.

Sure, you might grow a bunch of weird lumps all over your face that may or may not be melanoma by the time you turn sixty, but at least you didn’t corrupt your precious, pure essence with A Chemical! 🙃

Kind of wonder if the sunscreen backlash is a side effect of the success of immunotherapy to treat skin cancer, like how anti vaccine people act like vaccine-preventable diseases are no big deal.

Toothpaste has chemicals in it, but tooth decay is natural. The naturalistic fallacy gets us to bad breath & mouth pain pretty quickly, I guess sunburns, wrinkles & skin cancers are also on that route.

Nah this has been going on for decades. I first got melanoma in 2013. I lived in San Francisco at the time, a hotbed of “wellness” trends, and I completely schooled someone who made a comment when I put it on my kids. Showed her my scars. Let them get cancer, they’ll find out.

I'm sure the resulting skin cancer will be blamed on the sunscreen they applied before all the sense left their heads

Next to "15 minute cities are bad actually" this is the most baffling conspiracy. Like do they think people used parasols, long clothing and hats since antiquity for laughs?

That's just wild! I hope they're also boycotting all the edible things with titanium dioxide in them, like candies, pastries, chewing gum, coffee creamers, chocolates, and cake decorations. I'll never skip the sunscreen! I know too many people with skin cancer to do anything else!

4th of July around 25 years ago, I had to go to the ER because my face was swollen from a sunscreen allergic reaction. I still wear sunscreen because skin cancer is awful & I'm not a fan of wrinkles.
