I am surprised about so much cancer and so little environment talk.
The reason I don't wear sunscreen and have spent hours looking at ingredients just to buy none is that I don't want to pollute our waters.
After tourist season there is a oily film swimming on our Alp lakes. People are literally walking hours enjoying the nature just to pollute the source of all that.
These lakes aren't that big. And their fresh water source is very limited in the summer months. No idea how the animals react tho, not sure if anyone specifically looked at good visited mountain lakes
- heavyset_go 4y agoI haven't really looked too much into this one in particular, but do you know how zinc oxide sunblock fares environmentally?

- galleywest200 4y agoCouldn't you just put it on and not swim? As a redhead I wear sunscreen just pulling weeds in my yard, or going on a walk with my dog.
- kazinator 4y agoDid you mean "not swim, bathe or shower?" The stuff goes somewhere.
