Sunscreen safety has been a long-running debate with the dangers of chemical ingredients weighed against the dangers of long-term sun exposure. Mineral blocks are considered a safer alternative, but even these have come under scrutiny. Now, hidden ingredients known to enhance the effectiveness of SPF are being criticized. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella discuss UV filters and boosters, and share their take on sunscreen safety.
