Ban on Sunscreen Lotions Has Sun Worshipers Looking for Alternatives

Long Beach, California, 7-10-2012 – The recent alarming trend in schools and summer camps banning sunscreen lotions is working to shed light on what’s turned out to be the worst best kept secret about theses products.

The secret that the FDA has known about all along is that sunscreens contain substances, that when exposed to sunlight, can in fact convert to chemicals that themselves may cause skin cancer.

It’s not only your skin that you have to worry about either, because doctors and research scientists have been saying for some time now that smearing a carcinogen on your skin poses a risk to your entire system.

It’s the synthetic vitamin A compounds, retinol and retinyl palmitate that are found in most sunscreen brands that react negatively in the sunlight to become carcinogenic.

Then to make matters worse, many people are now also discovering that standard clothing blocks out only a small percentage of harmful UBA and UVB rays, because most cotton t-shirts only provide SPF 8-10 protection.

So parents, school administrators and the general public as a whole are searching for effective alternatives, and in increasing numbers the solution that they’re finding comes in the form of rash guard shirts.

To find out more about this not so new healthy alternative to sunscreen we contacted Lori Valesko, CEO of Wholesale-Rashguards.com who had a number of interesting things to say about this line of clothing products.

She told us that, “Rash guards have actually been around for some time now, as these specialized shirts have been worn for decades by surfers to protect their skin from rashes that occurred either by the seams of their wetsuits or by laying on the rough surface of their surfboards. These specialized shirts are light and comfortable, so they’re easy to wear plus now they come in a wide range of styles for men, women and even kids and toddlers. Rash guard shirts are also available in SPF 50 which blocks out 85% of UVA UVB rays all the way up to super protectant SPF 150 / UPF 50 which blocks out 98% of the sun’s harmful rays.

In the meantime the public is still left waiting for an answer to how something that was supposed to prevent cancer has turned out to be another cause of it, but so far the FDA is not saying much – only issuing warnings about the ingredients of some sunscreen lotions.

In the meantime concerned parents and school administrators aren’t standing still. They’re reaching for solutions and one of the more sensible that they have found comes in the form of this sportswear. Wholesale-Rashguards.com supplies rash guard shirts still made in the USA, to schools, teams and individual retailers as well as resorts around the world. Many people may already own one of their shirts and not even know it!
