It’s been reported some types of sunscreen may be toxic to coral, but a new study warns more testing is needed on ingredients contained in sunscreen that could harm humans.
The four chemicals studied -- avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene -- are part of a dozen that the FDA recently said needed to be researched by manufacturers before they could be considered GRASE or "generally regarded as safe and effective."

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends you continue using sunscreen until further testing is completed. Do any Punaweb members know of brands that don’t contain those ingredients? And are still effective?
(In the meantime, Congress is hard at work with their own solution to the the problem. Today, senators and representatives continue to ignore climate change, so their efforts may soon make it too hot to go outside. Stay indoors, no sun exposure, no sunscreen needed. Problem solved. Thank you government!)
