This is anecdotal information because I don't have the resources listed but I have read that statistically groups that use sunscreens have higher incidences of skin cancer than those that don't. I also read that the chemicals in sunscreen kills coral reefs. So who are they kidding? Companies like this exist to create fear so they can create a product. Dis-gus-ting!
