A few years ago we vacationed in Florida. We went to a water park where we were able to interact in the water with dolphins and rays. We were told to ditch our sunscreen and only use theirs which was zinc I'm sure because everyone had pasty faces. Protection for their dolphins etc. I get it and totally agree.
I really wish you guys had access to other chemical filters. At least now FDA should get proactive in allowing newer filters which are not harmful for the environment.
"not harmful to the reef" is not entirely accurate...a better way to view them as "innocent until proven guilty"....other chemical filters have not been examined or examined as much as those shown to be harmful to the reef....logic follows that non-nano zinc and titanium dioxide only sunscreens are the least harmful to the coral reefs
Ann Nee I am from India and for the first time I am happy to have more options. We get more options in chemical filters here.
I recently saw some info about our reef system, specifically The Great Barrier Reef, at our local museum in Pittsburgh. I wasn’t aware how bad it has been deteriorating. If I remember correctly, by 2030-2040, they’re estimating that it will be gone if there are no changes. It’s really sad.... I am so happy that Hawaii is making changes. Hopefully other high tourist areas will follow suit.
while not great for their economy...in my opinion it would be better if tourism declined and people stayed home, as that is likely to have a great impact on the environment than banning two ingredients
Dr Dray true but that’s not happening. It’s only going to increase with the growing population.
DelTori l sadly agree regarding the devastating impact on the Great Barrier Reef.
I would choose physical sunscreen if they actually tinted it for my complexion.
The Elta MD physical one isn't bad. It's slightly tinted.
Try and look into the Cotz tinted natural ones, the pictures show they have a really nice *legitimately* darker tint to them. Certainly darker than the nudes common to tinted physical sunscreens. EltaMD has great filter formulations for sure. 👌 Hope that helps!
phototristan that's expensive
You could apply a BB cream over your SPF.
Oh no boooo they looked so promising 😣😣
I’ve been searching for a good reef safe sunscreen I can layer with makeup for YEARS. I live in Florida so I’m aware anything I put on my body has the potential of washing into the ocean. You are one of the only dermatologists that speaks about the reef damage associated with chemical sunscreens. Thank you!
Hi! So are physical sunscreens less harmful to the environment? What about hybrid sunscreens? Bc the only sunscreens I can manage to wear on my face (that do not feel greasy or dry my normal skin, but it’s affordable) are hybrid (a mix of chemical and physical), but I wouldn’t mind to wear physical when going to the beach (just don’t know if it will be easy to find purely physical body sunscreens where I live)!!
@@maeduss sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate are detrimental to coral health. Check your ingredients. I find it’s just easier to go with physical sunscreen with one or two active ingredients I’m already familiar with rather than looking up all the active ingredients in a hybrid or chemical product.
I've always been an avid sunscreen user--even as a young 'un. My mom instilled this in me. Flash forward to adulthood when I worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center and would walk around the hospital and clinic floors on my lunch break. All the different types of cancer clinics have their own waiting rooms. Most of them are relatively tiny. The Melanoma Center's waiting room is huge, and jam-packed. Made me thank my Mom for encouraging my sunscreen habits.
Thank you for illustrating how difficult it is to choose a sunscreen that is both cosmetically elegant, non-irritating, and ecologically responsible! Happy Monday :)
I freaking hate the ghost look and looking to go low or zero waste means I pretty much have to tolerate the white cast and take up the tinted mineral powder for dusting it down to a socially acceptable appearance.
Sigh, if only we could get white paste face like Elizabeth the Fist and Queen Mary pr a Geisha to be stylish again.
And off topic but I really wish schools would allow kids to apply sunscreen without a note from a Dr. I load my kids up before school but they play outside several times s day. It drives me nuts!!
I agreee!!
Miri _ yep! When you’re older it’s probably not a problem but mine are in kindergarten and 2nd grade. States are starting to change laws but it’s slow coming. It’s ridiculous.
Echo Tango it's really interesting to hear stories from different parts of the world. You were teased for being too 'fair'. Had you been in India or any surrounding country, you would have been worshipped.
bnb0510 WAT? My eight yo takes a tube to school and applies it at will. If there’s a rule against it, no one has said anything 🤷🏻♀️
i can rant about that all day
I'm with you on hoping this will push us to develop more sophisticated filters/formulas and the economic impacts of consumer mentality and cancer treatment. Great conversation yes, yes, and yes. 👌😁
:)
I love this. I’m watching this at the very beginning of 2020, and as a fairly recent addition to your subscribers, I love you and the way you educate us as consumers. I do wish you would continue to bring up the coral reef issue, because so many people still know nothing about it, and don’t know which ingredients to avoid. I think that if you continue to be plain about this issue as well as our options in the sunscreen world, it will help people to continue to seek out sunscreens, while avoiding the ingredients known to cause issues for marine life.
I am surprised she didn’t suggest just get a rash guard or light scuba suit for snorkeling and enjoying Hawaii without hassling with sunblock that offers minimal protection in the water anyway and needs to be reapplied constantly. Not to mention the reflection of the water which makes the sun rays even stronger.
“Be an informed consumer” Yes! Thank you so much for saying this as well as your continued emphasis on sunscreen use in general. 💕
:)
So it’s really a chemical sunscreen ban not an entire sunscreen ban right? Why doesn’t the US approve better filters then?? When will that happen? Also, I was wondering does it say on sunscreens if it’s non nanosized ? I haven’t see this labeling.
I prefer physical sunscreens. I’m allergic to chemical sunscreens.
The only thing I don’t like about mineral sunscreens is the white cast on my face. I use a powder foundation to cover the white cast.
I appreciate and value your opinion Dr Dray. Thank you for speaking on this topic. I have lived here in Hawaii for over 25 years and I have seen the effects on our coral reefs. As we say here in Hawaii: Mahalo (Thank You) We have other options in terms of other sunscreen ingredients. Have a good day! Take Care
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find mineral sun cream here in the U.K. I was at boots today, looking for one and the only one they had was an SPF 20 and a 3 star rating. So I went to Superdrug and got my go to Solait superdrug brand which is a mineral sun cream and well under £5 for 400ml. Nothing against children’s sun cream of course! And the Solait sun cream for the face is wonderful (and goes well under makeup for those of us who wear it. Better than any primer I’ve ever used). Thanks for this well balanced and informative video.
Hahaha. My phone auto corrected sun cream to sun SCREAM. 😂
So helpful. Thank you for the info.
Thanks!
If I was forced to choose a zinc or titanium dioxide based sunscreen the reality is that I would "choose" to go without protection. On the off chance that I did apply a mineral sunscreen I definitely wouldn't reapply at the frequency I do now or as liberally. I know that's terrible but it's the truth, I can't use a product multiple times a day that makes me absolutely miserable.
The white cast isn't even the problem for me, I have very dry skin and mineral sunscreens are a nightmare because of the dryness, pilling, white &/or waxy buildup (it especially collects in lines) and just a general discomfort. I know this sounds crazy but I feel like with mineral sunscreens the particles scratch up against my skin almost like sand particles which has a unpleasant and uneven exfoliating effect that exacerbates my dryness, makes me look strange and plays a huge part in them not being wearable for me.
I'm American but I live in France so right now, thank God, I have access to better filter options that actually make me excited about sun protection. Until my move to France and subsequent discovery of the amazing chemical filter tinasorb I am ashamed to admit that I completely ignored sun protection for 28+ years. I really hope that the FDA approves these amazing filters soon so Americans can get their hands on these more comfortable, non-irritating filters. Who knew you could actually enjoy using sunscreen?!?!
Dr. Dray I owe you a massive thank you, through your videos you've really helped me step up my sunscreen game. Having someone tell me how important sun protection is and always drilling in that I need to reapply has helped me completely change my sunscreen habits and has turned me into a model patient. I keep a few different bottles of sunscreen all around my house and in my bags so I come into contact with them and actually remember to use them which has really helped with the compliance problem. Now I actually enjoy applying sunscreen (Yes! It's possible) and I know I am doing something good for my health and look at it as a kind of pampering or self-care. I don't think I would have worked so hard to find a sunscreen that worked for my skin if it wasn't for your constant reinforcement and reminders, so thank you so much for helping to get my bum in gear and for being someone I know I can go to for reliable and accurate information on the subject.
Avivamae what are your favourite sunscreens & are they reef safe? I live in Europe & I’m looking for recommendations.
I was going to ask you about this. I saw this on the news and immediately thought of you.
:)
Live in Hawaii and in search of coral safe sunscreen since the law has gone effect yesterday.. Thank you for this content it’s SO HELPFUL!! God bless!!
“The thick film of cancer prevention!” LOL. I love it.
Oh my goodness... Just as I am getting my footing on finding a sunscreen that I actually want to apply every day there’s now another challenge :( I just bought the Aveeno Ultra-Calming SPF moisturizer (and love it) and since it absorbs so well I’m guessing it’s nano-zinc 😭
After more than one year watching almost all your videos, yesterday I have finally ventured myself into Differin for the first time! I have transitioned my skincare to fragrance free products (mostly Cerave, HadaLabo, EltaMD and Neutrogena) and I have stepped up my SPF game, so I think that I am finally ready. (I didn’t wake up with a tomato-red face, so I guess that it is good start). Thanks for all the tips Dr. Dray!
:)
I feel SO MUCH SMARTER now that you have shared this video! Thanks for the update! 👏
:)
This summer I've switched to physical sun screens. I never knew there was a difference in efficacy. Honestly before I found you, I thought all sunscreens were created equal as long as they had spf!! My freckled redhead face can't thank you enough
I appreciate this video so much. It’s something I have been thinking about a lot as someone who is very proactive about sun protection but has also started thinking a lot of living a more sustainable life. I’ve been using minimalism as a tool, slowly integrating vegan meal choices into my life while reducing animal product consumption, and buying things second hand when it makes sense. I have also started looking into vegan or “Cruelty-Free” products here and there but frankly, there is no perfect brand. They’re either owned by a parent company which isn’t cruelty free, they use stupid oils in their products, etc., as you know.
Lowering your impact on the planet is a complicated process because even when the upfront cost seems to be the best option, you later find out in the long run it isn’t! For my body I am currently using a sunscreen with some of these suspect ingredients which may be damaging the reefs, but once it is used up I will be switching over to an all physical sunscreen. I was stressing myself out because as I use up old products I’ve been trying to replace them with vegan products and I knew I was going to have a hard time finding one that fit all these check lists while still being one that I will want to use! I was beating myself up about it really. Then there are the all-natural no sunscreen people who claim any sunscreen is bad for the environment. While I have never intended to quit wearing sunscreen, in some ways I could see their argument in that it’s one more product to package, produce, and buy. There is a seemingly somewhat high up front cost to sunscreen. Add in reports on damage to coral reefs and you can see why people would think advocating against sunscreen use is the best choice for the environment. What I have never thought about, and I am assuming people making these arguments haven’t either, is the cost not just socially but likely environmentally on treating cancer. When thinking long term from that perspective it is likely that the most environmentally sustainable thing someone can do is wear sunscreen to reduce their risk of cancer. Maybe if someone doesn’t want to wear sunscreen for themselves, perhaps they’ll do it for the planet?
I apologize for the novel here. Obviously I have been thinking about this a lot lately as I’ve made other changes in my life, and this video has made me feel a lot better about finding a physical sunscreen for my body that I will use, and worrying maybe a little less about who the parent company is and if they meet every little criteria there is out there. Maybe I’ll find one that does fit the bill just perfect, maybe not, but to me the most important things at least when picking sunscreen is that it’s physical and that I’ll wear it. When weighing all the potential personal, societal, environmental costs, doing that seems like the best strategy at this point. Thank you! I
I know this is an older video but I just found dr. dray and i live in Hawaii - I did have a gut reaction to buy up all my favorite sunscreen before the ban, but decided to try Anthelios Mineral instead and just force myself to get used to it before the ban. I'm amazed at how many people are NOT willing to give up the 'feelings' of straws (local restaurants tried to switch to paper from plastic straws and it failed) and sunscreen for the environment T.T
I do prefer the mineral sunscreens white cast and all. Though some better than others! I'm hoping the FDA will look into the active ingredients in the Korean and European sunscreens so we can buy them in the US. Maybe I'm just dreaming . Darn the media dramatization , can they not report this and give an alternative when doing so😕
Carrie P I like the white cast also....I'm super pale to begin with, so having a slight white cast almost makes my complexion look even like I'm wearing foundation.
Thank you for all the info. Beacause of you I read the backs of lables now and I have lots of sunscreen. From Canada.
Thank you for such an informative video! I’m taking an Oceanography course right now, and I’m going to bring this up in class on Wednesday. It’s a great opportunity to educate people on the importance of sun protection, while also having a stimulating conversation about sunscreen’s impact on marine ecology.
:)
Hi Dr. Dray! You are such a wealth of knowledge. A true gem on RUclips. Thank you for explaining your thoughts so clearly and with compassion for all. I come away a better person having watched your videos.
Tfs! I use sunscreen now in my 40's . Wish I did when I was younger. I just used Hawaiian tropic spf4. My goal was to get dark as I could. Now I have brown spots on my face. N back then was that awful self tanner qt n now they have an array of self tanners so I tell my daughter now to always use sunscreen but she doesn't like to go out n the sun anyway much. Glad there is chemical free sunscreens ☀🌻
Thank you for such an informative video and your honest perspective on the matter. I have friends freaking out on social media and misconstruing the information, and not wanting to use SPF all together. Shared your video in hopes that it gets their attention, have a wonderful evening 🤗.
Thanks so much for sharing it. Hope you are having a good night!
Thanks for the recommendations for mineral sunscreens. I'm glad to see the Banana Boat Simple Protect is on the list. I noticed EltaMD is not. You mentioned that sunscreen for babies usually has no nanoparticles. Are there other ways to tell if a sunscreen has no nanoparticles? I don't see it on the label.
I am pretty sure elta is nano zinc, which was shown to be harmful to reef health; if it leaves a heavy white cast, probably non-nano, but hard to know tbh
Wow ,you really presenred alot of info. Very informative. Do you teach at all? You are great at giving presentations, no falling asleep here! Have a nice day.
Lmao some kids in my school made a science fair project which inspired the government to do this! Zaheer and Aubrey from Island Pacific Academy. I believe there is a video interviewing them on RUclips.
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your view, I really am more sensitive to the chemical sunscreens so I already use mineral sunscreens. When I'm finished with my current one, I'll choose one that is unscented and not nano sized as I believe the Australian Gold is. Maybe I'm mistaken. It doesn't leave much of a cast at all and my skin isn't sensitive to them. I'm glad you're addressing this and creating a movement to maintain sunscreen compliance!
:)
It is permeable barrier. Very much so. Hence transdermal patches for pain meds, estrogen, nicotine, etc.
Yes, protect your skin!!! Simply be mindful of chemicals we're putting on. It all doesn't simply sit on surface.
sunscreen application to the skin has yet to be associated with any adverse systemic effects to human health....melanoma, however, kills people
It certainly seems that sunscreen manufacturers have a long way to go in product development. People want mineral sunscreens but the white cast is horrible. I use the tinted Elta MD mineral however I can see that it wouldn't be suitable for anyone of color. Plus it may be pricey for some people. If you wear makeup how to effectively reapply during the day? The products like Neutrogena clear are not clear. I'm very fair and this still leaves a horrible white cast. I hope some of the manufacturers are watching your videos and reading the comments. People are not happy with the products available. It's easier for you because you don't wear makeup but realistically lots of working women wear makeup and enjoy doing so. The powder minerals look to be the answer for makeup wearers but again there are not many on the market and they are pricey.
I have a trip scheduled to see my cousin in Cocoa Beach, Florida and this video has answered many questions regarding sunscreens and their effect on the coral reefs. Thanks for all the great information! 💜💜💜
:)
thank you for this video. How can we tell if our mineral sunscreen contains nano titanium dioxide or nano zinc oxide? Is it listed in the ingredient list as "nano"? If the sunscreen says titanium dioxide or zinc oxide can we assume it is the safe-for-the-environment type? thanks!
I just purchased elta md broad spectrum SPF 46 facial sunscreen. It contains zinc oxide 9.0% and octonoxate 7.5%. I really like it. I hope I didn't make a mistake!
I love it and wont stop wearing it...really good protection...I also wont be traveling to hawaii, but if you are then you would need to bring something else
Very informative! We use Uvistat here in UK which has titanium and leaves a white cast, but it never bothered me or our kids. I find it's easier to see where you have put it on! It also does well being applied indoors and drying a little.
I live in Sweden and dream of visiting hawaii and other countries with reefs but finding reef friendly sunscreens in sweden is close to impossible and I'm so grateful for the list provided! Thank god for shipping!
My daily dose of Dr. Dray! As always, very informative. Thank you for investing the time out of your life to share your wisdom and experience with us.
Very informative Dr. Dray, I was slightly concerned because I don't want to add to the destruction of our reefs.Thank you for explaining this, i feel better now.
Thanks Dr. Dray for this video. I also hope that the ban will not cause people to be more adverse to sunscreen as it’s necessary for our health. Hawaii already has a high occurrence of cataract surgery because of the exposure of sun to the eyes, so sun protection for the body is absolutely key.
Love your passion and dedication. Thank you for the great researched info!!!! Great video!!!
Thanks!
So helpful as always! Thanks for keeping us all so educated! 🤗 Happy Monday 😊
Thank you for a very helpful video. Also, after reading about the Hawaii sunscreen ban.....the demonizing of sunscreen has already begun.
yeah it doesn't come across to people clearly or accurately in anyway
Love your passion and your brutal honesty. Such a great video with an important and clear message!
Can always count on Dr. Dre for having a video on every single skin topic
It is such a quandary! Surely companies and chemists should work on coming up with a mineral sunblock that is safe for the environment, isn’t too laborious to put on, no foolish ingredients that are common irritants, and can be used by people of all colors.
The sunscreen issue is a tiny bit of the problem regarding the reefs. Just like with every beautiful part of the world people want to see it and enjoy what it offers. The downside of our ability to visit all these wonders is that human traffic actually causes far more destruction then said chemicals. One only has to see pictures of Mount Everest and the filthy trash left behind to observe this reality. The same goes with all the ancient ruins around the world crumbling under the pollution. I'm not saying don't go out and travel- check something off your " bucket list"- but the real truth, as you said Dr. Dray. is the amount of tourism at this time.
This is alarming! Although I’m an advocate for the protection of our environment, I really hope this doesn’t result in more people ignoring sun protection.
:)
I live in Hawaii and just decided to start wearing sunscreen regularly, if ever, thanks to Dr. Dray. I bought my Neutrogena sunscreen from Walmart and a local drugstore today. There are 2 large areas in Walmart to purchase sunscreen from which hasn't changed from before this ban. It's just that those sunscreen with those chemicals are not being sold anymore. There's lots of people who are sunscreen fanatics, and lots that never wear sunscreen, like anywhere else. This ban has not changed that.
Today is Victoria Day which is a national holiday in Canada celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday!
Yes, on our trip to Maui in February, there were signs everywhere along the coastline.The state government did provide information on optional sunscreen, that they deemed a reliable alternative to the sunscreen that they had band.
Our oceans waters and aquatic life are in peril due to pollution's of all sorts, so I think it's a good idea to try to find alternatives for a sunscreen , to try to give everything a chance to a healthy life 😊
What would we do without Dr. Dray keeping us emboldened with current UV Protection information.
There is no better voice on this topic that I know of.
Feel like I just watched a segment on "60 Minutes". Good info and presentation, doc. Thank you. Rita
:)
Enjoyed:) Thanks for the information on the sunscreen ban!! Happy Monday;)🤠
Love your logic. Great points and really helpful!
Since the US/FDA has no definition of nano particles, companies are allowed to claim to produce non-nano sunscreens, while according EU or Australian regulations they would have to be considered nano sunscreens. A good example are the sunscreens from Paula's Choice, they are being sold as non-nano in the US, while in Europe they have to label them as nano sunscreens.
yeah PC i beleive are largely nano...as many of the mineral sunscreens have suspiciously little cast
Your so right Dr Dray... there may be a decline in use of sunscreen compliance due to the ban!You certainly covered everything in this topic!Thanks for all this helpful info! Have a great day tomorrow🌻🤗🌻🤗XOXO
Thanks Ms Laura
Dr Dray XOXO 👌
Move over Rev. Michael Curry :). I love your message. As someone with Rosacea who only burns, I have always been conscious of facial sunscreen and sunscreen all over when I am playing in the sun. But since finding your channel I now have begun adding it to my arms and neck on the daily and have taken up hat wearing (although I also will give a shout out to JLJBacktoClassic on the hat wearing), so thank you for making us more aware and intentional in caring for our skin.
Thanks! SPF is really important for rosacea. :) Keep up the good work!
I hope this spurs our FDA to look at approving more filters, such as those used in Asian sunscreens!
I love how passionate you are about sunscreen 😀😎☀️ I use elta md tinted and the hada labo, and biore , those are my three sunscreens. Thank you Dr Dray for all the information
Hope you are having a good night!
Bravo Dr. Drey! Highly articulate and wonderfully put. You are a plethora of knowledge and explain it all so eloquently and passionately! You would make a wonderful professor. Come to think of it... I would have never dozed off in class If I had more professors that taught like you! ;)
Thanks!
Thank you for doing this video! You’re the best Dr. Dray!
You spoke to me about the importance of sunscreen!! I’ve been wearing and LOVING EltaMd (non chemical!) for over a year now. I make my husband wear it now too!
I really like the Nada Labo spf50 white sunscreen, as it does not irritate my eyes at all.
:)
Dr. Dray you are amazing! I love your passion and dedication. Thank you so much for all your hard work in helping us understand so many aspects of how to improve our health and lives.
Just love ya girl!
Thanks!
I absolutely love mineral sunscreens. But people at work think I am wearing make up because of the white cast. It is so annoying and tiring to explain it to them what sunscreen is and it's benefits.
Keep up the good work :)
Very informative. I never know that those ingredients may cause harms. Thanks dr dray, love your videos! You just got a new subscribe, much loves! ❤️
Thanks!
I would love to see a video on laundry detergent! I've had some pretty bad contact dermititis from Tide
Mineral sunscreens have been problematic for me. I get a lot of clogged pores from them, and subsequently whiteheads/breakouts. Even liquidy ones from Neostrata give me problems. Maybe the skin needs time to get used to them? Will it freakout first, break out and then stop breaking out? Idk
Would you please re-make this video with more current information? And with product recommendations? I'm brown skinned and I cannot find ANY products that are coral reef safe. But also, it seems the zinc oxide is not considered reef safe anymore. I'm drowning in misinformation. Also I live in Germany.
Thank you for the video, I am wondering thou why not to put more accent on other chemical sunscreens which are safe for the environment and don't leave a white film (especially for darker skin types). Is that because in the US many of those are not in the market? Are the other chemical sunscreen sold in EU safe for marine life?
Fantastic vlog! Very interesting and informative. So important to protect our environment. Thank you Dr. Dray!🌼
Thanks!
Thank you for this. I share your concern about "fear of sunscreen" surfacing again. Since the Skinacea sunscreen chart was not entirely accurate do you know of a chart/list of the filters available and which protection they offer that we can use as a shopping guide for sunscreens? You recommendations are always excellent but there are so many sunscreens out their you couldnt possibly review them all. Thank you as always!
“That thick film of cancer prevention!” I love it! Haha! Really great info Ms Andrea! I agree with you and hope the usage of sunscreen doesn’t go down bcuz of the affect on the reef. But i definitely will keep on sunscreening on! 🤙🏻🍍🌴☀️🌈❤️
Happy Monday Ms Anna!
Not gonna lie, I switched to physical sunscreens while I lived in Hawaii, and most of the ones I tried just didn't prevent sunburn the way chemical filters did. But you know what worked better than all of that? A long sleeve swimsuit and leggings. If I was out on the water for hours, doing something like surfing or freediving, that's what I wore, along with a hat. Surf companies have developed some super cute outfits! The physical sunblock was good enough for lounging at the beach, however, if I wanted to wear a bikini and look cute.
Great idea! NOAA recommends that as well on their webpage about this. Mainstream swimwear could further evolve and look more like the cool surfer/diving gear you mention in order to address this, don't you think? How many women without perfect bodies would be ecstatic to have a more figure-friendly option as well??
Wow a strong video with a powerful message. My Dr years ago saw some slight sunburn on me and said I know you don’t sunbathe but that yellow mass in the sky isn’t a sun tan machine it’s a ball of radiation. I’ve always remembered that. I’ve stopped buying micro beads in all products I buy.
For cleaning and cosmetic. Everything has plastic around it it’s awful.
So now some sunscreen is harmful to the environment.
I really hope Eucerin comes out with a version of their Daily Protection SPF 30 without octinoxate. It’s my favorite 😢
i wish eucerin would come out with more sunscreens, period..they make good ones
Thanks for the helpful info Dr Dray!
I’m now smarter today than I was yesterday.
Can Cerave Baby and the other baby sunscreens you listed be used on the face if you’re prone to breakouts?
Just got in the Allie sunscreen in the mail today from Japan. I'll let you know how I get on with it! Thx for this video Dr Dray. Great topic. Great info!!!
:)
Nanoparticles zinc is used in milk and other foods, animal feeds, paints, and tons of other things. The particles from these other things are probably also finding their way into our waters. 😥
yep! Restricting tourism would have a greater impact on the health of the reef imo (and environment...less air travel/jet fuel/pollution)...but for the Hawaii economy, I imagine banning two ingredients is less likely to cause financial damage than restricting the number of people who visit the beach
Certainly seems like we can do our part and have it be a win-win.
Thank you for a very informative and intelligent point of view regarding the environmental impact of sunscreen.
:)
Thank you so much for this informative video. Always learn so much from you.
Thanks!
Here is another warning -- I found a no-ad baby sunscreen at Target that I loved. BUT don't ever let that zinc sunscreen get into clothing or as I did, backpacks! The top came off while in my backpack and talk about a giant mess. No matter what I did it would not come off (water resistant)! I had to throw it out. Thanks for the video, parts of Mexico does the same thing.
:)
Great explanation! Thank you.
Great conversation as always...If these chemicals are harmful to marine life, I wonder what they do to our bodies. Also, can I just mention that I love how pristine your bed sheets are always made?
BEAUTY IN THE EATS one does not equal the other. We are not plants.
Brian Leister We are not plants, indeed. Thank you for your insight!
Brian Leister But we are still cellular based organisms
I agree with it, if you dive and you see the reefs dieing, and whole ares of die out at an alarming rate , this may have come too late. the corals are dieing so fast
This was sooo interesting. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Dr Dray!
Very interesting and insightful and yes, alarming at the same time. One person commented about Japanese sunscreens being ok as they don’t contain these ingredients but sadly Octinoxate can be found in a high percentage of Japanese sunscreens and sunscreens throughout the world 🌎 I think a really important take and failure on sunscreens is not so much placed on the consumer but it’s the failure in scientific research in finding the next generation of sunscreens that we so badly need right now. Sunscreen filters that don’t break down, or need the hassle of reapplying and sunscreens that don’t damage people or the environment. It’s also governments and world 🗺 health organisations that are failing us that are not putting enough pressure for more scientific research to be done in this global crisis situation. Dermatologists do an amazing 😉 job such as Dr Dray in highlighting and treating us and we need more people like her that can hopefully change this situation and more pressure should be placed on global governments, world health organisations and the scientific community. It’s simple give us a sunscreen that works for all and we and the world would be a better place....
innocent until proven guilty...a better move for the environment is to restrict tourism, but this is not likely a good financial move, so easier to ban two ingredients
People need to put vanity aside and perhaps not sit in the sun. Tans have been lauded as sexy and pleasing. Cosmetic companies need to work double time to create tinted sunscreens that work on all skin colors. I prefer the Korean ones I get from amazon and yesstyle.
Hi Dr. Dray. Recently purchased some items by Hada Labo, Cerave, EltaMD, and Banana Boat based on your recommendations. Sadly, none of them are cruelty-free. As a fellow vegan I incorrectly assumed you’d only recommed cruelty-free products. Is it possible to do a segment on cruelty-free products? I realize all ingredients were at one time tested on animals but that is no longer necessary and these companies continue to do so.
i like derma E and fruit of the earth and have talked about them in other videos
Thanks so much - great channel!
Excellent vlog Dr. Dray....
Dr. Dray, the Kiss My Face sunscreen you linked is a Titanium Dioxide only sunscreen and contains Lavender Oil...
I appreciate the video. I started using thinkbaby. I'm not bothered by the white cast. I rather deal with the cast then skin problems in the future and harm our environment. I also use finishing powder for the iron oxide based on your previous vlog. I couldn't find any sunscreen that contains iron oxide.
