Question 1

What is the name of the chemical known to cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

I just received my shipment, and yes, the box DOES have a sticker on it that reads: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. I called the customer service number listed on the product (1-800-423-2341). The Person & Covey (PC) representative said the chemical in the product is DEA Cetyl Phosphate. She said it has been shown to cause cancer in rabbits. When I asked her if PC had plans to remove it, she stated that since the FDA & the National Toxicology organization do not list it as cancer causing for humans, they have no plans to remove this chemical. She referred me to California State Proposition 65 to find a list of all chemicals which require a warning to be posted on products sold in California. I looked up the list and searched for DEA Cetyl Phosphate and I could not find this chemical posted. So, back to square one.......

Question 2

Does this product protect me from getting darker? i'm medium dark skin and when i'm out in the sun, i tend to get really dark. thanks

Accepted Answer

I have used this product for over ten years and for me it works.I put it on more often in the summer.I have no information about getting darker as I am white and I do tan up more in the summer.I use it year round because the cold of winter can cause skin damage as I am out in it quite a bit.It really stays on in swimming also.I started using it because I have face cancer.

Question 3

is this used as a moisturizer also

Accepted Answer

No. Strictly a sunscreen product. Have you ever seen lifeguards or other individuals who are in the sun quite a bit with white noses? It's because they are using regular white zinc sunscreen. This is truly transparent zinc. It's a thicker product, but absorbs nicely into the skin.

Question 4

How long from when the sunscreen is shipped until expiration?

Accepted Answer

Since I usually buy the three-pack, I've used them up to three years after I received them and they are still effective, just like new.  It's the only sunscreen that doesn't give me a rash.  Years ago, my dermatologist recommended this because I have very light skin and need to protect it from the sun.
