Yet the cosmetic dermatology industry \u2014 whose advocacy groups accept millions of dollars directly from the manufacturers of chemical sunscreen annually \u2014 is willing to tell you to put chemicals on your body 365 days a year.\u201d \u2014 Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy submitted this letter to the student newspaper CMU Life. Levy continued, \u201cGoogle \u2018oxybenzone\u2019 \u2014 the main active ingredient in most chemical sunscreens today. Make up your own mind. This chemical should only be put on (and in) your body to prevent sunburn on occasions when sunburn is possible. But telling you to wear it daily increases sales for chemical sunscreen manufacturers and keeps the millions of dollars in endorsement money from SPF companies to dermatology front groups coming. But it's a toxin that 97 percent of us now have in our urine, according to a Centers for Disease Control study.\u201d To read the story and Levy\u2019s response \u2014 as well as other responses critical of dermatology\u2019s anti-sun advice \u2014 click here.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2010-02-16-Oxybenzone-copy.jpg"}
