FDA: Sunscreen Ingredients Can Seep Into Bloodstream After One Use

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reveals that active ingredients in sunscreen are absorbed into the bloodstream after a single use. The study tested six active ingredients in four sunscreen products, finding that these chemicals remain in the body days after use and exceed FDA safety thresholds. Despite these findings, the FDA advises continued sunscreen use due to its public health benefits, while calling for more research on chemical absorption. The FDA also plans to strengthen regulations on sunscreen safety and SPF requirements.
