Scout's take
Chemical UV filter and one of the most studied endocrine disruptors in cosmetics. Mimics estrogen, blocks androgen receptors, detected in 96%+ of US urine samples. Banned in Hawaii, Key West, Aruba, and Palau for reef toxicity. Banned in EU as a fragrance additive (allowed only at sunscreen-active concentrations). No legitimate use in a leave-on fragrance spray.
