Research conducted by scientists at US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has thrown up some questionable facts regarding use of sunscreens. After applying the sunscreens, the active chemicals in sunscreens immediately get absorbed into the bloodstream. This makes it dangerous for health as it can lead to blood infections.

The US FDA has ordered for more investigation and research into the findings. The study published in the Journal of American Medical Association, replicates findings of a pilot study by FDA scientists. The results sparked off the controversy over safety of sunscreens.

However, there are a bunch of experts who do not find the research conclusive. These experts argue that the report is completely misinterpreted. Just because the chemicals get absorbed into the bloodstream, neither means sunscreens are unsafe, nor it means they are safe. It needs to be conclusively proved that sunscreens cause health issues, the experts insist.
