Santa Barbara Photographer, Wedding & Event

I saw a news report on Sunscreen lotions and their effectiveness.  What’s more important was that they had a list of dangerous sun block lotions.  They say some lotions may be Cancer causing. 

It was exactly a year ago that I bought a half dozen bottles of Hawaiian Tropic sunblock lotions.  I thought they worked pretty good.  I wore it religiously before I leave home for weddings.  I keep on bottle in my backup gear bag.  Sometime I don’t put on Sun-block lotion when I leave home, because the weather is gloomy.  And then, when I arrive at the wedding site, there may be a full blast of strong Sun light.  So, Sunscreen lotion is an absolute necessity for outdoor photographers.

Anyway, I am now finding out that all my Sunscreen lotions are listed in “dangerous” category.  Yikes.. this is not good.  So, I’m going to have to trash everything I have and buy a whole new batch.  This time I’m going to have to buy expensive stuff, not just the ones that are on sale.

I have a wedding coming up in 7 days.  I need to act fast and get something that will not kill me.  I need to avoid Hawaiian Tropic and stick to “California Baby” or something that doesn’t contain poison.  I cannot believe Hawaiian Tropic would sell such bad products.   The concern is with Oxybenzone. They say Oxybenzone “MAY” mess up your life.
