00:02Summer is officially here which means that many Europeans will be swapping their computers and desk chairs for beachside sun loungers
00:14Although sun cream is an essential summer product to avoid burned skin
00:18Every summer posts claiming that sun cream is in fact dangerous spread across social media
00:24Some online users claim that sunscreens are dangerous because they contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate which are hormone disruptors
00:35Oxybenzone, octinosate and these are sunscreen filters
00:39They're known as chemical filters where the UV rays are absorbed by these filters so it reduces the amount going into the skin
00:45I know for a fact sunscreens are safe because I know even if there's a slight issue with a filter
00:50It's been blown out of context in some situations
00:52Sunscreen has been around since the 1930s set up by L'Oreal
00:56And whatever filters that we have in that time frame is massively changed
01:00And that's based on research, based on new data coming out
01:03And really a lot of these sunscreens, if you look at the big brands
01:05Those filters, so oxybenzone, otherwise known as benzofenone 3, octinosate, they're not there anymore
01:13Some online users have alleged that the commercialisation of sun cream from the 1930s onwards
01:19Is behind rising skin cancer cases
01:22This graph shows an alleged correlation between the introduction of sun creams containing certain ingredients
01:28With rising skin cancer rates in the state of Connecticut in the US
01:32However, the Connecticut Public Health Office told you or verify that although the data likely comes from the state's tumour registry
01:40The text boxes linking rising rates to sun cream products had been added in afterwards and were not from their data
01:47There is no data that sunscreen causes skin cancer
