Sunscreen without oxybenzone

Oxybenzone may sound like a complicated term, but in short, it is a filter used in combination with another filter in sunscreen. This helps improve protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Oxybenzone is used alongside another filter because, on its own, it is not the strongest UV filter. While it is generally an approved ingredient in sunscreens, there is ongoing debate about whether it is truly safe for the body, as the substance can be easily absorbed into the skin. To avoid any potential concerns, it’s a better choice to opt for sunscreen without oxybenzone.
