The people with 3pm sunsets telling us about the evils of sunscreen. 💀 💀
I feel gay putting it on but I definitely should use it. Allows me to spend more time outdoors in summer.

Are there ingredients here that are harmful to the skin? Ingredients: Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Isopropyl Palmitate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Dibutyl Adipate, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil, Copernicia Cerifera Cera, Cetyl Palmitate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Stearoyl Gluta-mate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxy-ethanol, Trisodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Chloride, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Alpha-Parfum.
Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol
The ingredients you listed include some that may be of concern for skin health:
- **Alcohol Denat. (denatured alcohol)** can be drying and irritating, especially for sensitive skin[8].
- **Fragrance components** like Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Alpha-Parfum, Isomethyl Ionone, and Citronellol are common allergens and irritants that can cause sensitivity or allergic reactions[4][7].
- **Isopropyl Palmitate** is known to be comedogenic (pore-clogging) and may contribute to acne or irritation for some people[5].
- **Phenoxyethanol** is a preservative that can cause irritation in sensitive individuals but is generally considered safe at low concentrations[7].
- The sunscreen filters such as **Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid** are commonly used UV filters and generally safe, though some chemical sunscreens can cause irritation or sensitivity in some users[6].
Overall, the presence of denatured alcohol and fragrance allergens are the most likely to cause skin irritation or sensitivity. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, these ingredients could be problematic. Otherwise, most ingredients are typical for sunscreens and moisturizers and not inherently harmful[6][8].
**Summary:**
- Potential irritants: Alcohol Denat., fragrances (Linalool, Alpha-Parfum, etc.)
- Potential comedogen: Isopropyl Palmitate
- Generally safe UV filters and emollients
- Phenoxyethanol preservative may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin
If you experience irritation or sensitivity, consider patch testing or choosing fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulations.
