FAQ

Why is Oxybenzone used in face moisturizer products?

Effective and inexpensive UV filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB rays. Widely used in sunscreens and SPF-containing lip and face products.

How many face moisturizer products contain Oxybenzone?

In our database, 6 face moisturizer products contain Oxybenzone 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.

Is Oxybenzone more dangerous in face moisturizer than other products?

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Face Moisturizer products are applied to the skin, where ingredients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Daily sunscreen application causes oxybenzone blood levels to exceed FDA safety thresholds.

What is a safe alternative to face moisturizer with Oxybenzone?

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