Are commercial sunscreens really protecting your health—or compromising it? In this episode of Science4Fun Academy, we take a deep dive into the science behind sunscreen: how it works, what’s in it, and why some ingredients may be disrupting more than just UV rays. We explore the latest research on chemical vs. mineral filters, hormone-disrupting compounds, coral reef toxicity, and the myths around SPF numbers. You'll also learn how to choose safer, evidence-based alternatives—and even how to make your own.
