Beauty Tips For Body Care
While we don't know the full story regarding Valisure's results and the FDA has not responded to their petition yet, I thought it would be helpful to share that Valisure is conducting a crowdsourced study of sunscreens with free, independent third-party testing for benzene contamination. They will send you results within 8-12 weeks after receiving and testing your product.Some important caveats include that you will have to send new, unopened containers in their original packaging, they prioritize testing so you are not guaranteed results, and they will not send your sunscreen back post-testing.With all this being said, if you're still interested in sending your sunscreen for potential testing, here is the link with more information: https://www.valisure.com/valisure-studying-sun-care-product-contamination-2/I'm not sure if this helps anybody, but I will hopefully gain some peace of mind after I send in my favorite, daily go-to sunscreen, EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41. I was also thinking this may be a good way to hold these companies accountable if they put out statements where they promise better quality control of their products but benzene is still detected after the fact.Hopefully, Valisure will post a list of their new crowdsourced findings, but if they don't then perhaps we can make a separate post on Reddit to help each other if enough people send in sunscreens and get results back.
