I have noticed that at the end of each summer for the past 3 years I’ve had ffa I have a significant amount more hair loss in August & September.  I now believe it it because of the use of sunscreens. So this summer I am not applying sunscreens with the bad ingredients oxybenzone or octinoxate. But now after I substituted zinc oxide & titanium  oxide I’m reading these are bad too.    Ughhhhh

Hola all, well the sunscreen theory would certainly fit with why I have lost hair on my arms and legs as well!  But quite a problem as I also have had skin cancers removed from my face and body so need sun protection in Australia

Hello Lovely Ladies,

I have been ordering my facial cleanser, day cream, night cream, body lotions, etc. from a website called Be Green.  Once I became aware of the EWG app I started looking up safe products and everything from Be Green is rated #1 on the EWG. I am pleased with all of the products that I use.

I want to find a new bar soap for my face and body that does not have titanium dioxide. I have very dry skin even in the summer.  Does anyone have a bar soap that they like that is not drying?

thanks everyone. great posts!

I've eaten a LOT of m&ms in my day, geez. 

I looked up ingredients in ondansetron and naratriptan which I use for migraines, they both haveTitanium dioxide.

@Afraid, what are CACI facials?

I've checked all my body soaps and lotions, now on to food ingredients!

Titanium dioxide is in Oil of Olay bar soap and Shea Moisture bar soap.

Lovely to see everyone is still around & read your comments.  Of course it would be even better if this condition disappeared completely and we could just chat about life in general...one day maybe?!? 

Thinking of you all xx 

my hair loss at sides marches on at a seemingly fast pace... acupuncture and head tapping (?) I’ll try anything (!!) helping my sanity and some re-growth on top? Or is it my imagination?

Wait for it.... M&M’s were among the highest candy containing TD.... I guess it’s all the food coloring!  I just found out that the Estée Lauder Moisturizer and Georgia Armani makeup that I use also contains TD!  All I can say is “wow”..... wouldn’t it be mind blowing if that was actually a contributor to this horrible disease?  Yikes!  I wonder if it’s topical or systemic absorption of these make up products  that could be the culprit?  Anybody read any research on that?  I mean, our skin is the largest organ of our bodies and it absorbs this stuff that eventually gets into the bloodstream, I would assume.  

Wow, lots of activity on this subject over the past few days!
