This article was strangely removed by ScienceDaily, but it is based off of the following publication which is still up:

The Endocrine Society. "Some sunscreen ingredients may disrupt sperm cell function." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 1 April 2016. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160401111847.htm>.

So I should have been jerking off with sunscreen my whole life?

Thanks for the late news $cience.

What your saying is sunscreen is a spermacide, so if you want kids don't put sunscreen into the vagina.

Very helpful study.

So many products are found to mess with sperm production and the manufacturers act surprised.
