Gisele Bundchen recently declared that sunscreen is "poison," adding that she opts for natural products to protect her skin from the sun's harmful rays.
Most sunscreens contain chemicals that absorb ultraviolet light, which helps prevent sunburns and skin cancer. Those containing a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 70 have been found to be particularly effective, according to a 2010 New York University study.
"I cannot put this poison on my skin," Bundchen, a 30-year-old Brazilian supermodel and wife of NFL star Tom Brady recently said, according to the UK newspaper The Daily Mail. "I do not use anything synthetic."
