Sunscreen Safety in Pregnancy

We all know that sunscreens are important to reduce the risk of skin cancer and help prevent skin damage.

But – is it safe in pregancy?  Did you know there are no specific guidelines  for pregnancy or breastfeeding ladies?

We do know that  the chemicals in  sunscreens are absorbed into our bloodstream.  We don’t know what effect they have.

We do know that mineral sunscreens reflect the light and are not absorbed.

There needs to be guidelines set for safety , but at this time this is not available.
