Question Sunscreen Ingredients Healthy or NOT so healthy?

This is just some information I found on sunscreen ingredients. This is a list of ingredients commonly used. Some are NOT approved by the FDA. So why are they included???

I researched some of the ingredients and I wonder why do the derms not look at this more intent with open mind on possibilities that it's the ingredients in sunscreen that may be causing the rise in skin cancer...

THIS IS JUST INFORMATION TO ALLOW PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE INFORMED!

Active ingredients
The following are the FDA allowable active ingredients in sunscreens:

p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) up to 15 %.
Avobenzone up to 3%.
Cinoxate up to 3%.
Dioxybenzone up to 3%.
Homosalate up to 15%.
Menthyl anthranilate up to 5%.
Octocrylene up to 10%.
Octyl methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) up to 7.5%.
Octyl salicylate up to 5%.
Oxybenzone up to 6%.
Padimate O up to 8%.
Phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid (Ensulizole) up to 4%.
Sulisobenzone up to 10%.
Titanium dioxide up to 25%.
Trolamine salicylate up to 12 %.
Zinc oxide up to 25%.
Recently approved:

Mexoryl® SX (USAN Ecamsule, INCI Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid) - UVA absorber used in combination with other ingredients for UVB
Others include:

4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (USAN Enzacamene)
Tinosorb® M (USAN Bisoctrizole, INCI Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol)
Tinosorb® S (USAN Bemotrizinol, INCI Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine)
Mexoryl® XL (INCI Drometrizole Trisiloxane)
Neo Heliopan® AP (USAN Bisdisulizole Disodium, INCI Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate)
Uvinul® A Plus (INCI Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate)
Uvinul® T 150 (USAN Octyl Triazone, INCI Ethylhexyl Triazone)
Uvasorb® HEB (INCI Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone)
Parsol® SLX (INCI Polysilicone-15)
Amiloxate ((USAN), INCI Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate)

Most of these ingredients are not FDA approved, but all of them are approved within the EU. Some are permitted in other parts of the world as well. A lot of these relative new ingredients absorb UVA, making it easier for sunscreen manufacturers to formulate for the growing demand of sunscreens with better UVA protection.[10]

Re: Sunscreen Ingredients Healthy or NOT so healthy?

I've wondered the same thing. If, as one article I read said, skin cancer is increasing in people in their 20s, then something different must have happened with them when they were younger than those of us past 30.

If you think about it, this is the first generation where parents used sunscreen on a consistent basis. Maybe that's the link to some forms of skin cancer, not tanning.
