UPDATE: Prof Martyn Smith - the toxicologist who Valisure cited for the claim that “there is no safe level of benzene” - talked to the Washington Post and confirmed that benzene in sunscreen isn’t a big risk (equivalent to breathing city air for half a day in the worst case scenario) - check it out here: www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/benzene-sunscreen-safe-carcinogen-/2021/06/04/33723cb6-c55f-11eb-9a8d-f95d7724967c_story.html
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience I actually thought benzene makes sunscreen more stable and thermoresistant but I guess there's no specific benefit of having it in a sunscreen?
Thank you. People seemd to also miss that if it is a contamination issue and batch based, your "safe" brand on the list may just have been tested for a good batch different to yours and you're unwittingly slathering contaminated stuff.
I was hoping to hear about this in more detail! Other videos mentioned that the sun is dangerous too and that we already encounter benzene in our daily environment, but I still wanted to get a clearer sense of the relative estimated risk of ~6ppm of benzene. It's summer and I want to go outside without burning, but this was an unnerving bit of news.
I'll be honest, I have health anxiety and can fall victim to fear mongering relatively easily. Your videos are great for that. Thank you for posting this 💖
Yes, at last sensible video thank you, as a Toxicologist reading the valisure report was a bit weird and i felt it tried a Fearmongering phrases and terms, and there is a lot of fact about benzene that we don't know, for example how the form of sunscreen for tested the spray form can have an effect to help with benzene evaporation due to its high vapor pressure and so many things. amazing video 🧡❤👏
Thank you! Yeah agreed, the report isn’t very clear about how they sampled the sunscreen sprays - it does sound a bit like they lined up the spray hole with the vial and sprayed in, which would cause extra benzene in the sample compared to how it would end up on skin…
@@Moskinlab Hi, I used the top bad sunscreen for many years and would I reapply. I haven’t used it for years now but I’m worried I’ll have blood cancer later on. Do you know the latency period of this chemical and cancer? I can’t sleep at night I feel like I’m waiting to get this :( just for “responsible” sunscreen wear. I wear all year round usually
@@laurenreilly-cothias6561 hey, you don't have to worry at all, this a very limited issues that is focused on this specific patch of sunscreen not the whole sunscreen brand since its creation, so you don't have to worry at all about any side effects and keep using sunscreen that is tested negative for benzene.
@@Moskinlab I used to use Neutrogena ultra sheer mist 100+ specifically over and over... would you still say I shouldn’t worry since I used that one a lot for years? Many times :( thank you so much for the response by the way! I’ve been so anxious I can’t sleep.
I'm so glad you did this video, I was actually about to comment on one of your other videos asking you for your view on valisure. I've been seeing all over my feed from Fox to CNN to bloggers to instagram fear mongering. Now I'll be able to forward this videos to my friends who are unaware and don't want to research, product waste is already a problem!
The idea of people using clean beauty because they’re worried about “chemicals”… while also not caring about their use of plastics and the pollution during production baffles me. If you’re gonna be worried about benzene, sunscreen is the last of your problems.
Please don’t stop with the sunscreen videos!!! Maybe if you keep posting them the myths will finally be put to rest and more people will actually wear it.
I need to wear it otherwise I get fried. I envy people with dark skin, the likelihood they'll get skin cancer if exposed to the sun without sunscreen is much smaller 😭 The other day I was sitting and sipping coffee with my friend. He couldn't understand why I need sunscreen and parasols because he has a thicker, darker skin. Despite wearing it on a regular basis in summer, I still feel like a rookie because apparently sometimes I apply too little or purchase the crappy ones. Michelle's videos are truly god-sent for us pale gang.
Well, you don't need serums to protect you from UV rays so that you don't get skin cancer and die... It's a totally different category, IMO. Sunscreen should really be treated as medical products, not just as cosmetics.
@@karcavida3250 pretty sure in some countries it is a quasi drug. Irregardless, precisely becos of how impt sunscreen is a protecting us from skin cancer, its funny how much h8 and doubt it receives which manifests as this constant scrutiny to find ways "sunscreen is the ultimate scam evil" when lit all of those scandals r scientifically dispriven or negligible in their harm esp when weighing against its proven protective benefit? Then look at all the gimmicky serums out there which receives those half-ass scientific "research" and everyone clamours for the latest bee venom or whatever without anyone detecting for benzene? Its the double standard for me
Don't worry Michelle you're our favourite sunscreen propagandist. I actually, after 2 years of watching your videos, finally took the plunge and bought some beginner skincare stuff. Previously I would just be not moisturising and I would wash my face in the shower. But I got fed up of feeling like beige sugar paper. I also happened to buy the bondi sands sunscreen in this video (the scented body version since I thought it was light enough to go on my face)
"We don't swallow sunscreen. well, I don't know what you do with your life" hahaha meanwhile me tasting sunscreen every day during my breakfast after I slathered it on my face and lips earlier... yeah, we don't swallow sunscreens...
I hope you didn't mean it when you said you wouldn't make any more sunscreen videos. It's kinda what I'm here for. And anything else you put out, thank you!
We somehow need to get every single person in the world to watch your videos!! This explanation is brilliant, & makes it so very clear yet again that we need to look at the details not the headlines!
Thanks for the clarification. I had been using a contaminated batch so really needed someone to put the exposure risk in context. I hope there will be an investigation into the supply chain since most probably other types of products are also contaminated.
I work with analytical instruments. GC methods for benzene is hard. If one is not careful, the benzene in surrounding environment can really skew results. Did the experiment do multiple samples and what is the precision of the results?
Not very precise - the % standard deviation they list for the higher ppm products is almost all single digit, but with lower concentrations it gets up to double digits (there’s even one at 73%). They tested at least 3 samples from each product where benzene was detected. The sampling method is also a bit weird, it isn’t very detailed but it sounds like they lined up the hole of the spray and squirted into the vial…
This is just a brief overview but I hope this helps! Talc itself is not the issue. However, when mining for talc, talc is often found in the same areas as asbestos - hence talc can be cross contaminated with asbestos. With that being said, the FDA requires products that have a high probability of cross contamination with known carcinogens (e.g. talc) to report statistics on their products. The issue with the Johnson & Johnson baby powder litigation is that Johnson & Johnson KNEW their mined talc contained high levels of asbestos, but covered it up and didn’t report it/hid the results from the FDA and refused to recall the potentially contaminated products off the market. In all, talc is safe to use IF the companies mining the talc are faithfully adhering to the reporting procedures pursuant to FDA policy/ensuring their talc products do not have high levels of asbestos
@@kirag9509 thanks for that! I didn't realize it was kind of like a DuPont chemicals situation. The internet bubble kept saying talc was bad and I was looking for more information on that too.
Thanks for the information 😊. I saw this benzine news floating around though I didn't put much focus on it for sun protection is more important to me. I hope some people can now rest easy putting on their sunscreen again.
I used 6 cans of the recalled Neutrogena sunscreens while on vacation to Southern California June/July on all my kids and family 🧐 thank you so much for putting this out! Sending so much love to you for the breakdown ❤️
Thanks for this. I have a beautycounter friend who pushes the typical claim that any sunscreen not made out of zinc is deadly. She posted about the recent recall and to be honest it did get me nervous since my family and I just finished a bottle of one of the ones that are being recalled. Saw your video and now I’m calm.
Love your content! I wonder if you’d consider avoiding putting your graphics / titles in the lower 1/5th of the screen, since that’s where the closed captions show up? Btw, You can never make too many sunscreen videos! 👏🏼
Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a video on how long mineral sunscreen is effective on the face? This whole "apply every 2 hours" even when working at a desk (not next to a window) situation seems so extreme. Is there a way to INVESTIGATE how effective a sunscreen still is after 8 hours of normal (non-active) wear? Thank you so much!
Ok so basically I shouldn’t worry about this. Thank God. I thought I might have to ditch my delightful Skin Aqua for some pasty pure zinc oxide. I know I’m a full year late finding out about this, but my PTA program didn’t allow any attention to be given to current events. But I only had to freak out for 5 minutes between Cassandra Bankson’s video (just popped up out of nowhere) and Michelle’s video. Thank you Michelle ❤️
Terrific video Michelle! 😊👍🏼 Some people just LOVE drama. Any excuse to freak out and share how “anxious” they are.

How many other deadly chemicals are we slathering ourselves in?” “Cosmetic companies are doing this *deliberately* because they’re owned by big pharma, who want to make us sick so they can sell us more medications to keep us sick and reliant upon their medications” 🙄 And on and on, ad nauseam. Being concerned is understandable, especially when we read alarming headlines. But wilful hysteria is another thing. It’s irritating and irresponsible. Aaanyway, have a great Sunday! Chaq x
I love your sunscreen videos and always welcome them! 😅😅 I was chatting about this with a coworker earlier today, so it was nice to see you clear a few things up on the subject ☀
And that's why I haven't worn sunscreen for years, even though I have extremely light skin (redhead, blue eyes) and live in southern California. I wear clothing - high necklines, long sleeves, and hats in the daytime. It's actually very comfortable because I wear mostly linen. I also try to stay in the shade as much as I can.
Thank you for your videos! They are so helpful. When you have the chance can you discuss claims of heavy meals in lipstick which i would assume doesnt leave the body?
Haha!! No, not, ever, never gonna post about sunscreens again... How dare you! We need & love your scientific sunscreen rants Michelle!! 🙌🏻💜🙌🏻💜🙌🏻💜🙌🏻💜🙌🏻
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for your videos. Would you please consider doing one about hyaluronic acid? I saw one from pillow talk and I am very confused about this acid. Thank you!
Need help. My son got badly burned at the pool and I used 50 and reapplied. It was awful. Can you recommend a good brand. I’ll spend on him for sure! Thank you so much.
This is very useful. It would be really great if you can talk about all the other sunscreens filters (such as homosalate etc.) that are rarely mentioned. Most videos on UA-cam focus on avobenzone, oxybenzone, and zinc oxide. I'm pretty curious on your opinions on the other commonly used UV filters. Thanks:) 👍
Lady Gaga ≠ Galileo You say it so nonchalantly. 😹 I get way too much joy from weird analogies that just make things make sense - especially when they’re only absurd to point out how equally ridiculous a common misconception is.
Hi Michelle, could you make a video about PFAs in cosmetics and beauty products? Not many people are talking about the recent articles about this and I'd like to hear what you think of it.
Hey Michelle, I have a question for you and I hope you will feature this in a future video. We all kinda know how the spf value is measured. I understand that actual human volunteers are used. I’m curious how the UVA rating is measured. Is it by the same method? How do labs measure Pa rating? Thank you.
Here, after having a heated conversation with my friend who never uses and boycotts sunscreen. Her skin has so many more wrinkles than other people her age (she is 27), and she believes all these myths. Yes, not all chemicals are good. But not at all that bad, like laying on the sun daily with absolutely no protection. Maybe, sometimes people have to learn themselves.. but it's hard to have critical thinking with so much misleading information on the internet these days.

Yet it is true that it gets absorbed in the blood and has a potency to cause Baldder carcinoma.
Okay. If you're applying a lot of it everyday, as many people do, then it makes sense that it would pose a greater risk and is still a major concern.

Sunscreen Quueeeeeen 👑 ☀ 🚫
Here, after having a heated conversation with my friend who never uses and boycotts sunscreen. Her skin has so many more wrinkles than other people her age (she is 27), and she believes all these myths. Yes, not all chemicals are good. But not at all that bad, like laying on the sun daily with absolutely no protection. Maybe, sometimes people have to learn themselves.. but it's hard to have critical thinking with so much misleading information on the internet these days.
Will you do an update now that they’ve been recalled?
Can you do a video on hormone disruption discussions of oxybenzone in physical sunscreens?
