Customer Reviews of Blistex Medicated Lip Balm, SPF 15, .15-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 24)
Customer Review: Contains cancer causing compounds Summary: 1 Stars

Made with Padimate O: The excited padimate O molecule reacts bimolecularly with DNA and produces indirect DNA damages, that are similar to those done by ionizing radiation. Therefore padimate o is presumably photocarcinogenic.
Made with Oxybenzone: This organic compound has been shown to penetrate into the skin where it acts as a photosensitizer. This results in an increased production of free radicals under illumination, which makes this substance a likely photocarcinogen
