My daughter, who is the proud mother of a 6 month-old baby, told me that she heard that whatever ingredient they put in sunscreen to make it waterproof can cause/contribute to blindness!! That someone called a manufacturer and the response was to the effect that, well it might, but we don't want to scare anyone! Has anyone out there heard anything on this or has contacts that can provide any answers? BTW the Miami Herald ran a piece last week about people getting more sun exposure because they think that with a higher SPF they don't need to apply the sunscreen that often.
