The chemical sunscreens butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, octocrylene and Homosalate suspected as hormones to act. The ingredients are absorbed through the skin and can then be detected as in breast milk. Such hormonally active ingredients may, for example, affect sperm quality, result in malformations of the sex organs, affect the weight or speed up puberty entry. They also represent a risk factor for breast and testicular cancer. So actually exactly what I want to do not have a children's sunscreen!
The chemical preservatives Trisodium Edta can weaken cell membranes. The dye CI 42090 can leave allergenic residues.
The preservative methyl paraben and ethyl paraben are also questionable. They can cause allergies and bring through their pro-estrogenic effect the hormone balance confusion. In Denmark, for example, parabens are already banned as ingredients in baby care products.
Another critical ingredient: PEG. These emulsifiers are suspected to irritate the skin and raise awareness. They should also make the skin more permeable to pollutants. That PEG-based ingredients are not recommended, some manufacturers have recognized. The cosmetics manufacturer CD about without these substances for a short time. I hope Beiersdorf joins as soon. For there I like Nivea as a brand still very, feel her small on connected. My grandma smelled of cream. This smell makes me happy. Very, very much I would be able to buy the products with a clear conscience.
Regarding the effect can not be faulted. My crumbs I have the blue milk not sprayed because of the drugs, but I have tested it a few sunny days. I did not get a sunburn and also suffered from no skin irritation. The milk can be legally targeted spraying and easy to spread. It is absorbed quickly and leaves a powdery-creamy feeling (only minimally tacky) and a discreet Nivea scent.
Convinced the effect, because of the ingredients but I will not use the Nivea Sun Kids Sun Spray on and also not recommended.
