Yes, some sunscreens and baby products do contain hormone-like chemicals. For example, certain chemical sunscreens have ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can act as endocrine disruptors (similar to fake estrogens).
Also, some baby lotions, wipes, and shampoos may include parabens (like methylparaben or propylparaben) and phthalates hidden under “fragrance” on the label. These are added as preservatives or to make scents last longer.
If you want safer options, look for:
Mineral sunscreens made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (they sit on the skin instead of being absorbed).
Fragrance-free, paraben-free baby products with short ingredient lists.
Brands that clearly state “phthalate-free” or “oxybenzone-free.”
