Homosalate in Sunscreen

Absorbs UVB rays and helps stabilize other UV filters like avobenzone. Lightweight and cosmetically appealing in formulations.

In our database, 19 sunscreen products contain Homosalate as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Sunscreen products are applied to the skin, where ingredients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Repeated daily use leads to systemic accumulation above FDA safety thresholds.

Look for sunscreen products that use zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, non-nano mineral sunscreens instead of Homosalate. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
