- ggm 5y agoDamn. The problem is Octocrylene. The safe limit is 10% and the sunscreen I favour is on 8% so Its under the schedule, but now.. I don't know what to think. https://www.taren.com.au/assets/brochures/171050.pdf https://www.taren.com.au/assets/brochures/171050.pdf (this is a really good, unscented, 50SPF sunscreen which rubs in easily, and dries transparent. I've been using it for a decade)
- handmodel 5y agoIs there a way to check exactly which brands were effected or something to report? Last month my arms were crazy itchy all the time and I thought it was due to them being sunburnt. Because they were sunburnt originally, I was super diligent about applying the sunscreen I had there (spray sport Coppertone) but the itchiness lasted for weeks. When I read about a recall of a separate brand I realized my sunscreen may be causing some type of reaction on its own and tossed them. Itchiness went away about a week later. It could have been a coincidence or something else - who knows - but whatever was causing it was the most prolonged consistent itch of my life. I do see Coppertone listed but not the specific brand I had - though seems very likely/plausible they all use the same ingredients.
