POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INGREDIENTS IN HAWAIIAN TROPIC?!?!?!

Last year i learned about potentially harmful ingredients commonly found in sunscreen. Im learning more and more about unnecessary ingredients. So i was very disappointed when i turned over my Hawaiian tropic sunscreen and seen these 3 ingredients ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AVOBENZONE - HORMONE DISRUPTOR:( HOMOSALATE - HORMONE DISRUPTOR :( AND OCTOCRYLENE - STABILIZER for Avobenzone:( 😱😱😳😳🀯🀯😰😰🀭🀭😳😳😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I am having more than enough trouble with hormones !! Information like this is becoming more available these days. It was last june. When i first started on this skincare journey. I was taking a zoom class with a wonderful lady named Frita. She is a consultant for a skincare line. And she did a whole presentation on ingredients and the ones that were safe and ingredients that are harmful. Most of which are commonly found in sunscreen. I also learned a vit about ingredients that unnecessary, meaning they make the color or smell more appealing. One of the reasons i have chosen to use Korean Sunscreens is the ingredients and most brands have been going vegan and the No Nasties list. Like Torriden s Dive-in line , Metafort ,Dewytree,Blabs ,VT cosmetics Tiam ........... Love the kbeauty sunscreens !!!!! β˜†β™‘β˜†β™‘β˜†β™‘β˜†β™‘ SO THIS IS JUST A LOVING LITTLE REMINDER TO ALL TO REMEMBER TO FLIP THOSE PRODUCTS OVER AND CHECK THOSE INGREDIENTS. NO MATTER HOW POPULAR OR WELL KNOWN THE BRAND. I WAS VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THESE INGREDIENTS IN A POPULAR BRAND LIKE HAWAIIAN TROPIC 🀧🀧🀧😫😫😫😫 what i REALLY dont understand is i thought canada had some stick regulations on ingredients for skincare ??????? These ingredients are not banned. Nor are the restricted from being used in skincare ,makeup ,haircare ..........

they can disrupt hormones when ingested in large quantities. it’s not the case. https://www.cancer.org.au/iheard/do-sunscreens-contain-endocrine-disruptors https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/best-sunscreen-ingredients#avobenzone I don’t believe in clean beauty.These are some fear mongering marketing tactics used be some brands to push their products. lastly, I am not commenting to engage in an argument. I wanted to share in case you don’t know.

so we have information that they can be harmful. information that they are harmful. and information that they are safe. i can see how all of this can be confusing and misleading. Whos link holds the right information??? There is no need to argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Picky has never been a place of argument. Just a learning experience that i enjoy. thank you for sharing πŸ€—πŸ’žπŸ™Œ

also, I'm finding that these ingredients pop up more commonly in chemical sunscreens. which sucks as an oily skinned person that relies on chemical sunscreens! πŸ₯²
