Based on findings by the Environmental Working Group (Ewg.org), Ecostore co-founder Malcolm Rands believes that consumers should avoid sunscreens containing chemicals such as oxybenzone, which he says “can penetrate the skin, cause allergic skin reactions and may disrupt hormones,” and spray-on sunscreens, which contain nano particles that can be inhaled and reach the lungs. Ecostore advises using natural sunscreen ingredients like zinc and titanium oxide. Ecostore.co.nz
