A bit of sun exposure is healthy.
Avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and ecamsule don't look like chemicals that we should have in our bloodstream.
Perhaps we should find other ways to avoid excessive sun exposure.

I don't even want to imagine what insect repellents might do.

4 times a day to most of the body over 4 day? Why is this surprising?
I guess lifeguards might need to do this, but even they usually stay under a parasol most of the time.

The other problem is the "oil slick" one leaves behind in the ocean when boarding or snorkeling.
