Does Aveeno Sunscreen Cause Cancer?

In a July 2021 recall, Johnson & Johnson announced that certain Aveeno sunscreens may contain benzene, a known carcinogen. Other sunscreen brands that have been found to contain benzene by independent lab testing include Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Sun Bum, CVS Health, TopCare Everyday, EltaMD, Goodsense, Raw Elements, Walgreens, Babyganics, Coppertone, and more.

Independent lab tests have confirmed the presence of the cancer-causing chemical benzene in samples of certain Aveeno sunscreens (as well as other brands of sunscreen).

Johnson & Johnson has recalled specific Aveeno sunscreen products based on the potential cancer risk. In a statement announcing the recall, the company said that benzene “could potentially cause cancer depending on the level and extent of exposure.” 

Numerous scientific organizations and government agencies have classified benzene (the chemical found in certain Aveeno suncreens and other sunscreen products) as a carcinogen, meaning that it can cause cancer. These entities include:
