Substances to watch out for in sun protection products

In this table, we present a list of ingredients used in sunscreens, focusing on potentially endocrine-disrupting substances and allergens. We want to help raise awareness of which UV filters can have negative effects on both skin health and hormonal systems and help you make informed choices when it comes to using sun protection products.

Unfortunately, even within the EU, there are still products that contain UV filters that are suspected of being endocrine-disrupting or allergenic due to several reasons. They are still legally allowed to be used, but are often found in old products that were produced when these filters were the only ones available. These filters are cheaper to buy and easy to make products with. Often you also find them in products manufactured in other countries, for example the USA, where the requirements regarding which filters can be used look different.
Now that there are sun protection products with more modern and better UV filters, which do not have these properties, our recommendation is to choose these as we think that otherwise it is an unnecessary risk to take when there are alternatives.
Table: UV filters used in Europe. INCI stands for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients and is the name given on the list of ingredients. Main absorption defines the primary UV range within which the respective filter is active. The endocrine-disrupting effect and the risk of allergy is evident from table-based scientific evidence.
