A lot of chemical #sunscreen fear is from animal/in vitro studies taken out of context, without comparing exposure in those studies to the actual amounts we're exposed to from sunscreens.
Safety limits have massive buffers (100-fold margin of safety, from eg. no observed adverse effect level).

I just noticed that official Thai and Japanese online listings for the Cathy Doll lip serums (available in Japan starting this month) give different SPF/UVAPF test results. Does this mean they have different formulations? Or are these results from different tests?

some leftists take skincare too far
The US is becoming an authoritarian state and your concerned about the skincare routine of two podcasts hosts? This is not a commentary about you, but I do think some leftists take skincare too far. To be clear, I'm all for a reasonable level of moisturization, but not to the point of glistening.

I’ve been struggling with makeup for quite a while now. On one hand, there’s the practical issue of the Covid era of how I almost never wear makeup any more. On the other, I’ve also aged enough for my old makeup to not look right any more, even by probably-outdated standards.

It's ironic that this article perpetuates fear about chemical sunscreens being unsafe. Plus the misconception that dermatologists are experts on product safety (that's toxicologists and safety assessors).
Also the US blanket recommendation on sunscreen use that's not actually based on evidence...

Evidence suggests early humans used primitive sunscreen and wore tailored clothing—possibly contributing to their survival as Neanderthals went extinct.
Did UV Rays Doom Neanderthals?
Some researchers say sunscreen and tailored clothing might have helped humans survive when Neanderthals went extinct.

Accidentally bought the regular Curél Moisture Cream (the one in the larger jar with the blue lid recommended for use on your face and body) instead of the Moisture Facial Cream (smaller jar, white lid with blue trim, the one people are usually referring to). Too greasy for me, using up on body.
