worship of the sun comes at a huge cost with people dying from skin
cancer but does sunscreen contain serious hazards of its own?

Most of us base our sunscreen choice on the sun protection factor
and opt for the highest, but new warnings indicate that could be more
harmful than helpful.

eter Taubert is a lecturer and author on dangerous chemicals. He
said over time, chemicals found in sunscreen may also cause dermatitis,
endometriosis and early puberty in young children.

"We need to be concerned, we need to look at every product and say what is in it and what do these chemicals do?"

eter said the chemicals used in most sunscreen lotions or sunscreen products are actually known to cause cancer.

"Now that's when they're in their pure form but we really don't know
what they do when we start to mix three or four or five or seven," he
said.

eter Taubert warns against these chemicals 
Benzolalcohol, BHA {Butylatedhydroxyanisole}, Butyl
{methoxydibenzoylemethane}, Diazolodinyl Urea, Dimethicone, Diasodium
edta, Ethanol, Homosalate, hydroxybenzoates {parabens},
Methylisothiazolinone, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, Octorcrylene, Octyl
Methoxycinnamate, Octyl Salicylate, Oxybenzone, Phenoxyethanol,
Polysorbate 20, Titanium Dioxide, Triethanolamine. 
The Cancer Council's Professor Brenda Wilson assures us sunscreens in Australia are rigorously tested and are safe.

"There's no evidence to suggest that sunscreens cause cancer," Professor Wilson said.

"There's a lot of evidence to suggest that if sunscreen, which is
one-of-five ways in which people should protect themselves from the
sun, is used, then you can protect yourself from melanoma."

Five ways to protect

Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia. More
than 430,000 Australians are treated each year for skin cancers,
according to the Cancer Council.

Of these, over 10,500 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed.

Each year there are around 1600 deaths from melanoma and
non-melanoma skin cancer. Australia and New Zealand have the highest
rates of skin cancer in the world. 
Dr Natasha Cook said choose a cream that contains zinc or titanium or both, to prevent problems.

"Not only with cancer but pigmentation, broken capillaries and that
sallow, chicken-skin appearance which is very hard to rectify once it
comes so you need to prevent it," she said.

Sunscreen tips 
For very young to the elderly, her four top body sunscreens for
everyday, are 30+ broad spectrum and water-resistant: Ego Sun Sense
Sport Milk, UV Triplegard Everyday Lotion, Priceline Sun Sport and the
Cancer Council's Classic Sunscreen.

For your face, Natasha's top three sunscreens that will not block
pores are: Shiseido Gentle Sun Protection Lotion, Invisible Zinc New
Generation Suncare by Ganehill and Hamilton Everyday Face light
moisturising Cream.

"If you don't put enough on of your sunscreen, your protection will go from 30+ down to something like a six," she said.

eter Taubert's sunscreen recommendations are all with zinc: Invisible Zinc, Woolworths Select Clear Zinc, NI Natural Instinct.
