Most sunscreen formulas contain dihydroacetone, a which is known to damage DNA.

The zinc or titanium ones are much safer. The right answer is avoid peak sun and wear sun clothing.

    Plus, DHA is used for tanning. Not exactly sunscreen.

    it's used in tanning lotions. If you smear chemicals on your skin, they get ingested.
