    The lab rat experiment for Retinyl Palmitate was not done using sunscreen – instead the rats were given an oral dose of retinyl palmitate and then exposed to the sun – this does not prove at all that retinyl palmitate in sunscreen causes cancer.

    Also the fact that the mainstream media is now "confirming" that some sunscreens can cause cancer raises huge red flags for me as to the truth of this assumption.

      Really? You are Indian though correct? You probably have LOTS of melanin in your skin to protect you. I am of Irish/English descent, fair hair, blue eyed, freckles, and I don't have that protection. I seriously doubt that sesame oil would do much for me, as I believe its a "mild" sunscreen.

  3. "…simply change your diet! Carrots, foods rich in omega 3′s, broccoli, watermelon, and other vegetables are great for natural protection against the sun’s rays. And if you do get sunburn, there are a number of home remedies for sunburn that you could utilize as well."

    YEAH RIGHT!!! Maybe the watermelon could protect you from the sun's radiation if you wore chunks of it all over your body. And the home remedies for sun burn? The whole point is to not get the radiation burn in the first place. Once you're burned, the damage is done. Throwing aloe on the burn isn't going to reverse that damage.

    1. By the way… who wants to bet the FDA is promoting certain companies sunscreen over others simply for money? Why even have an FDA when no one regulates them and they can choose whomever they want to promote, and just lie about the reasoning behind it?

  4. and of course coconut oil is a fantastic natural sunscreen According to Dr. Bruce Fife of the Coconut Research Center, “one of the oldest uses for coconut oil is as a sun screen / suntan lotion. Islanders have been using coconut oil for this purpose for thousands of years. In the tropics where the climate is hot, islanders traditionally wore little clothing so that they could keep themselves cool. To protect themselves from the burning rays of the hot tropical sun they applied a thin layer of coconut oil over their entire body. This would protect them from sunburn, improve skin tone and help keep annoying insects away. Coconut oil was applied on the skin daily. When a mother gave birth one of the first things she would do is to rub coconut oil all over her newborn. Every day coconut oil would be used on the skin. As the children got older they applied the oil themselves. They would continue this practice throughout their lifetime up until the day they died. Many islanders, even today, carry on this practice.” Love and Light, NataliaPH
