"Government body finds cancer risk in sunscreen ingredient

...

Skin care product companies add Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) to sunscreens, ostensibly to reduce the visible effects of aging. It seems like an appropriate addition to creams meant to minimize the deleterious effects of the sun — but, new evidence suggests retinyl palmitate speeds the development of tumors and lesions on sun-exposed skin."


*Disclaimer* - Also, not wearing sun screen can increase your chances of skin cancer. Good luck!

EVERYTHING and NOTHING both cause cancer.

If you live long enough, you will get cancer.

I had a Jamaican once tell me to use coconut oil instead of sunscreen. He didn't get that translucent skin, oil, and the sun don't mix very well.
