About this deal

On the up side, sunscreens are pretty wellregulated in several parts of the world, and BP-3 is considered " safe as used" and is an allowed sunscreen agent everywhere. It can be used in concentrations of up to 10% in the EU and up to 6% in the US. Another concern of BP-3 is that it shows some estrogenic activity, though it's probably not relevant when applied topically to the skin. Estrogenic activity was confirmed only in-vitro (in test tubes) and when taken orally by lab animals, and not when used topically as you would normally. In fact, a 2004 follow-up study to examine the estrogenic effect of sunscreens when used topically on the whole body found that "the endogenous levels of reproductive hormones were unaffected" (even though BP-3 could be detected both in plasma and urine, so its absorption is no doubt too good). If your skin is on the oily side, you may be wary of adding more dewiness. If your skin is on the oily side, “Mix one or two drops with your foundation,” says Synnott. Even people with acne-prone skin can benefit from a glow. “Anyone with textured skin or dryer skin will benefit from the smoothing effect of a liquid or gel highlighter versus powders,” says Lujan. If your skin is on the dry side, “Mix one or two drops with your face oil,” says Synnott. But if you want a more impactful glow, simply layering on your favorite highlighter on top of your foundation will bring it to a new level. If that was not enough, Wikipedia claims that BP-3 is nowadays themost common allergen found in sunscreens, and the always-trustworthy smartskincarewrites that "[benzophenones] have been shown in some studies to promote thegeneration of potentially harmful free radicals".
