Is There Benzene in My Sunscreen?
Benzene was found in 78 different batches of sunscreen and after-sun products; however, benzene is not an ingredient listed in those products. Research suggests that the carcinogen, benzene, found in sunscreen is due to contamination during the manufacturing process. “The problem we’re seeing appears to be contamination from the manufacturing process and not an inherent problem with sunscreen,” according to David Light, CEO of Valisure.
Lawsuits against Neutrogena and Johnson & Johnson allege that the makers have violated federal law, advertising their products as both safe and effective, while not disclosing that benzene, “a well-established cause of cancer in humans,” was an ingredient found in the products.

Is Benzene Dangerous?
Benzene is a colorless or light-yellow chemical known to cause cancer in humans. The World Health Organization has classified benzene as a Category 1 Carcinogen, meaning strong evidence has tied benzene to DNA damage leading to cancer. Exposure to benzene increases the risk of leukemia and other blood disorders, according to the National Cancer Institute.
