Can you do a video on the fear mongering of the other chemical sunscreens, such as the vast internet information that claims they all are endocrine disruptors. I saw a lot on homoloslate and avobenzone. Can you explain the recent FDA research that showed chemical sunscreens are absorbed in higher amount than previously thought and that it may be dangerous. They asked manufacturers do do their own safety studies but from what I know none have done so yet. I am confused about this information and whether these sunscreens are bad or not.

My family's friend had skin cancers removed from both ears and his nose. However, the cancers kept spreading. This poor man ended up losing his battle against metastatic cancers after losing both ears and most of his nose. Just wear sunscreen and cover up. It's not just about preventing wrinkles and freckles.

Hoping to one day attain the level of scrutiny that you have when reading scientific papers! This video reminded me of a group project I did in bachelors where our group half assed the literature review and manipulated sources to get our point across. We thought we were being sneaky 100 but the professor saw right through it and exposed us in front of the entire class 💀 needless to say, as someone who now wants to go into academia, I learned to never use such shoddy practices ever again. Maybe the authors of this paper will learn the same.
I love the way you handled this. It demonstrates clearly the difference between someone who changes the narrative to suit their purpose and someone who draws conclusions based on research and evidence. As they say, it does not matter what they say as long as they spell your name right 😉

Great video and research as always! 😁 I appreciate that someone is looking into the safety of compounds used in cosmetics, since chemistry and biology are so complex, and sometimes ingredients have secondary effects difficult to predict. I don't like when scientist say an ingredient is safe, but barely any studies were made to confirm that 😅 But then, studies that try to prove something is bad are weird and sus 🤦🏻♀️ that's kind of frustrating.

You are a blessing! This kind of idea laundered nonsense is impossible to dislodge from the common conversation without the kind of thorough, carefully considered, painstaking work that you just did in this video; no wonder, then, that it's so uncommon for us to bask in a refutation this even-handed. Too much work involved, so scientists, preoccupied with the work that's already on their plate, usually don't bother to directly address other people's jabber. Looks like they were poking the wrong scientist in this case! You were all brains and class! Thank you for your approach, it earned you another subscriber today!

I liken this to when influencers create drama and then release a palette. One of my fav videos yet of yours! 🙌🙌🙌
I personally hate Octocrylene (for my skin) because it stings my skin badly and I always have to search for a long time to find a sunscreen without it (and Niacinamide which my skin also hates). But I would never come to the conclusion, that no one should use it because of me or those shady studies. If your skin is ok with it it's a very effective sunscreen filter that saves you from getting cancer.
