[sun care]How toxic are the ingredients in sunscreen?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've heard that sunscreens, especially the chemical ones, contain "toxic" ingredients. The toxic ingredients mentioned on EWG.org and activist websites are the following: oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, and avobenzone. There are many more but these are the majority of the so called dangerous ingredients. Some people say that they are carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, that they accumulate in the body, etc. But others say they are totally harmless and nothing to worry about. I'm not worrying, however I am curious. Are these chemicals really as bad as some people/organizations make them out to be? I can't really find an answer because every website I go to seems to be biased and filled with affiliate links. Also, research on these ingredients seems to be to limited to reach final conclusions. What do you guys think?
