Listen "Why Your Mineral Sunscreen Might Not Be as Clean as You Think✨Ep. 119"
Episode Synopsis
Your "all mineral" sunscreen might be lying to you, and the loophole manufacturers are using is completely legal.In this short but crucial episode, I'm exposing a sneaky sunscreen ingredient called butyloctyl salicylate that's being slipped into mineral sunscreens. Still, these products are still allowed to market themselves as "all mineral!" This chemical UV filter doesn't have to be listed in the active ingredients section, so it's hiding in plain sight in the inactive ingredients list, and most people have no idea it's there.The truth is, if you've been diligently checking only the active ingredients section like I've taught you before, you're missing this toxic ingredient that's basically the same as octisalate, which is already on my avoid list for being an endocrine disruptor. Now you need to check both the active AND inactive ingredients sections to make sure you're getting truly clean sun protection.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why butyloctyl salicylate is just octisalate in disguise • How manufacturers are convincing brands to use this sneaky ingredient • Why checking only active ingredients isn't enough anymore • My updated 2025 sunscreen guide with truly clean optionsEPISODE RESOURCESShop the 2025 Clean Sunscreen GuideGet 10% off Wyld Notes with code WENDY10Free: Top 25 Toxins to AvoidGet on the Toxin Free in 3 Waiting ListRead The Shownotes Here
