After reading the article provided, this claim can be considered misleading or exaggerated. Below the title of the article on the website it explicitly says, " There's no evidence that sunscreen increases your risk of breast cancer, but not using sunscreen does increase your risk of skin cancer." Below that it states, " There have been concerns in recent years about sunscreen itself causing cancer, But there's no clear evidence that using sunscreen increases your risk of breast cancer- or any cancer." The article specifically says that there is nothing to prove that sunscreen directly causes cancer. Although this is stated, the article does go on to explain why it could potentially cause cancer, like the benzene chemical being absorbed into the skin and passing through the bloodstream in certain sunscreens. To avoid that, it is suggested to use more mineral based sunscreens that contain ingredients like zinc, that do not absorb into the skin.
