he didn’t make up the chemical-based vs. mineral-based dichotomy. that’s a well established thing with sunscreens. the people who make the distinction often know what a chemical is. did you know that words have different meanings in different contexts?
This. Chemical sunscreens are hard on your skin. And it’s a known term. It describes a certain type of sunscreen. We already know everything is technically made of chemicals.
I expect the young man is referring to “chemical” sunscreens that destroy coral reefs and that are illegal in Hawaii and some other ocean beaches. Some studies have shown that ingredients in many sunscreens are harmful to humans. You aren’t doing your listeners any favors by taking the young man’s statement out of context.
it’s always been fascinating to me how obsessed the US is about chemical/organic versus mineral/inorganic sunscreens. where i live, i predominantly use european and locally produced sunscreens. which are almost never labelled as either chemical or mineral. they’re just sunscreen. what’s most important then, for me, is spf value (i tend to go for 50 and 50+), uva and uvb protection (broad spectrum/pa++++) and being water-resistant as a bonus.
I got a bottle of sunscreen in the EU when visiting last year. I wanted chemical because I didn’t want a white cast. You guys get better “chemical” because you are allowed to use other fliters and they dont burn my eurs
From what I’ve seen in Poland it’s either just combination sunscreen or very few mineral ones (mostly those for kids are mineral but not always), but I’ve never seen only chemical/organic one. Tbh I don’t really care, as long as it doesn’t sting my eyes, has spf 50 or 50+ and is broad spectrum I will use it 😂 Have you seen that now you can buy spf 100+ in EU? (that is made in EU and to it’s standards) I wonder if it’s enough difference to really use it.
@@Noel.Chmielowiec really? i’ve seen one here from eucerin but it’s more of a medical product as it’s directed at people with actinic keratosis, which are pre-cancerous lesions. i imagine it would work a bit better than spf 50, but maybe but provide a world of difference to most people
@@laur83 I’ve seen one from Pharmaceris in Poland, also marketed towards people with medical conditions, but apparently they could be registered, so I assume there will be more this summer. This one can be bought in drugstore, like any other sunscreen, it’s also in pharmacies.
Chemical sunscreens actually made me allergic! They were fine when I was a kid, then a couple years ago they started giving me horrible hives and ruining my vacations. Mineral sunscreens are actually the way to go! They’re way more gentle with less allergens and irritants!
I am allergic to zinc oxide in mineral sunscreens. Older chemical filters like avobenzone sting and burn my skin too, but the newer filters that are found in Asian and European sunscreens seem to work fine for me. I guess everyone’s skin is different. 😂😂
That’s an allergy to an ingredient, they’re not allergic to the chemicals in the mineral sunscreen. I’m also allergic, but I won’t say non titanium/zinc oxide sunscreens were unsafe for others.
@@lookingatdaisies9901 that’s not true, I tried a bunch of different types. I’m allergic to oxybenzone. It’s an active ingredient, it’s known to be irritating and allergy causing.
Educate him!!
He’s gonna freak out once he finds out the water he’s bathing in is a chemical 😮😮😮😮
He’s gonna freak out when he finds out his entire body is just a bunch of chemicals.
🎯
dihydrogen oxide can kill you in such large amounts!
@@RachelJane101Or that everything in his mind is a result of chemical processes.
😂😂😂
Does he have a problem with dihydrogen monoxide?
Dihydrogen?
@@Therealbotraidno the hydrogen is bi. It’s attached to its own and oxygen. Or it has bipolar disorder and occasionally turns into deuterium
@@googlefaps5883 Molecular biologist here: Dihydrogen is actually correct!😊
@@Therealbotraidthank you
Oops corrected
Life is nothing but an extremely amazing form of chemistry
he IS chemicals
Wait until he finds out that water is made of chemicals.
Chemistry is the study of everything. Literally every reaction is chemistry between different chemicals.
Technically everything is chemical based. All matter at least. Anything tangible.
Come one, it’s obvious what he meant but she’s just bullying him to show her superiority. Kinda stupid
@@user-wj9jm1ox8i he doesn’t understand what a chemical is and apparently you don’t understand what bullying is
@@asps1031 you can literally google it fool all matter is chemicals. Rocks, metal, gas all of it
@@asps1031 why don’t you both look it up and see I’m right?
@@Tender-Loin I’m agreeing with you? Everything is a chemical and Dr Dray isn’t being a bully by pointing it out. My reply was to user_wj9jm2ox8i
The water you’re standing in right now yeah chemicals

This is why I stopped drinking water, it’s full of hydrogen.
LOL!

I like how you didn’t even explain it further 😭 rip bro
Chemical sunscreens all the way.
Clearly, he failed Chemistry 🤦♀️.
Please, someone show him chemical composition of an apple or blueberry, that would be so funny 😂
