🏖️️ Beach calling?This means it’s time to take sun protection seriously.However, we need to be mindful.Many sunscreens contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other harmful ingredients for our health and the ocean's well-being.It’s time we embrace mineral filters.Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are safe for you and the #ocean. They're non-allergenic and start working as soon as you apply them.This summer, make a splash while keeping our oceans healthy!#OceanEU #ForNature

@EU_Commission Is there any sunscreen using mineral filters on the market right now? And how can i find them? (is there a easy way except than reading the ingredients?) That’s really interesting 🤔

@EU_Commission isn't the job of EU Commission to ban harmful goods? Just ban them! If you allow them to be sold in UE, people will rightly assume that they are safe.

@EU_Commission I’d like to read more about this. Are there any brands in particular you would promote as safer alternatives, or big brands particularly culpable of this?

@EU_Commission Don't propagate "personal consumer responsibility". If it is available for purchase, don't complain when people purchase itm If certain chemicals are not safe, they should be regulated. If only there were some kind of multinational trading bloc that could make these kinds of decisions...

@EU_Commission if this claim is scientifically correct (unlike the fear-mongering around, say, GMOs) then it's the EC's job to ban such chemicals. Environmental and consumer protection are your areas to regulate.

@EU_Commission I learned about 10 years ago I am crazy allergic to the chemical sunscreens after 30 years of breaking out in hives where ever the sun hit the sunscreen. Always thought I was allergic to the sun! The zinc ones are so much nicer. Glad to hear they are better for the environment too.. although my skin would have guessed that other stuff would be bad for nature.

@EU_Commission It feels really strange that you warn us about harmfull substances that are not banned yet.I mean warning is better then not warning, however just banning those substances (or highly regulating them) would be an even better approach right?Why is this not the case yet?

@EU_Commission Are sunscreens containing harmful ingredients legally sold in the EU?If so, ending that is maybe a better idea than making every EU resident have to check every time they buy sunscreen?If not, well done! Thanks for the information for those travelling outside of the EU. ❤️

@EU_Commission seems like misinformation. Are you saying that all non-mineral sunscreens producers and sold in the EU are dangerous to use for us? Do you care to elaborate? At least provide some scientific/dermatologist information about the subject…
