My suncream contain avobenzone and octocrylene are these drugs harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The basics: Many of these over the counter products contain chemical stabilizers that extend the useful life of the product. Any individual can have an intolerance or allergic reaction to any of these.Most do not or it would have never made it to the point of distribution to consumers.You can self test any of these by putting a small amount on normal skin, covering for a day with a bandage. no rxn=no pbm
