    Hello,


    I’m so confused whether there is backing to Environmental Watch Group’s general statement that ‘chemical absorber nanoparticle sunscreen’ is a bad thing that can actually CAUSE cancer.
    Are physical sunblocks the only way to go? Is there actually literally a difference between something called a sunBLOCK and a sunSCREEN? Are nanoparticles of Zinc oxide or Titanium dioxide dangerous or safe? Is zinc oxide actually the only real safe one (better than titanium dioxide)?
    Is there actually a possibility that skin cancer is caused by lack of sun, not enough vitamin D and that sunscreen does nothing to prevent skin cancer? Is it more important healthwise to get more Vitamin D or less sun? 
    Also- coconut oil and SPF? I can’t find any real evidence not sure if it’s all marketing.
    I’m so confused. :/ 
    thank you! I’m sorry if this is a question you already answered I couldn’t find it.

    We did cover much of this before: 

    Coconut oil SPF: It has an SPF of about 7 which is too low to be effective. http://thebeautybrains.com/2014/12/is-sesame-oil-the-best-thing-for-your-skin-the-beauty-brains-show-episode-59/
    Finally, there’s no credible data showing sunscreens cause cancer. The SUN causes cancer!
