Sunscreen Decoded: SPF, Skin Cancer, and Choosing the Right One

from No Filter Doctor · host Dr Annahieta Kalantari

Sunscreen recommendations have become increasingly confusing. Does sunscreen cause cancer? Are mineral sunscreens actually safer than chemical sunscreens? Does SPF 100 really provide more protection than SPF 30? And what is bemotrizinol, the new sunscreen ingredient recently approved in the United States after decades of use in Europe? In this episode of No Filter Doctor, I decode the science behind sunscreen so you can make informed decisions before spending time outdoors. We discuss UVA and UVB radiation, how sunscreen protects your skin, the differences between mineral and chemical sunscreens, SPF myths, concerns about ingredient absorption, and the evidence behind claims that sunscreen causes cancer. The goal isn't to tell you which sunscreen to buy. It's to help you understand the science so you can choose the sunscreen you're most likely to wear consistently.
