Original Note:
The claim that Johnson & Johnson (J&J) intentionally added carcinogens to sunscreens is misleading. In 2021, J&J recalled aerosol sunscreens due to benzene contamination, a cancer-linked chemical. Benzene is not an ingredient and its presence was accidental, not deliberate. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/sunscreen-makers-withdraw-products-found-to-contain-cancer-causing-substance https://www.cbsnews.com/news/johnson-johnson-sunscreen-recall-list-refund-info-carcinogen-cancer/
