Nanopartcles in Sunscreens–more studies, please?
While I am happy about the recent attention that has been paid to our sunscreen products (M V Sun Serum was rated in the top 10 for saftey and effectiveness by EWG) I still have a little bone to pick. This is on the subject of nanoparticles in sunscreens. Evidently The EWG does not have separate categories for micronized zinc oxide and non-micronized zinc oxide. Until nanoparticles have been adeqautely studies I don’t believe we can deem them safe for use, especially on children.
I have written about the need for studies in this area. While the jury is out, Marie Veronique will not use micronized zinc oxide in its sunscreen. Making our sun serum and crme de jour, arguably, the safest you can buy.
