Story at-a-glance:
All of the recommended products in Consumer Reports Best Sunscreens for 2019 report contain oxybenzone
A pilot study by the U.S. FDA shows four common active ingredients in sunscreen — avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene and ecamsule — are absorbed into your blood at levels that could potentially pose health risks
