For decades, irresponsible cosmetic companies and a small group of very vocal, publicity-seeking dermatologists have strongly advocated that chemical sunscreens should be heavily applied before any exposure to sunlight, even on young children. They insisted that such sunscreen use would prevent skin cancer and protect your health. This was despite a lack of any adequate safety testing of these chemicals.
Over the past decade, many scientists, along with the Vouray reasearch team studying cancer, have come to virtually the opposite conclusion; that is, the use of sunscreen chemicals may be increasing the incidence of cancer.
