Thought this might be of interest to those who wear sunscreen. Valisure, an independent testing facility has detected benzene in batches of sunscreen and after sun care products.

My understanding of the report is that this has to do with the manufacturing process. For example, there could be one lot of any particular brand that tests for benzene and another lot that does not test for it. To see the report and the sunscreen names, lot numbers etc that tested for benzene and other info see here:

Thank you for sharing that. I hope they figure out how those sunscreens became contaminated and correct the problem.

Speaking of sun protection, eating tomato paste is a great sun protector.
