Retinyl Palmitate - Ingredients to Avoid #9

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #9 

RETINYL PALMITATE "is composed of palmitic acid and retinol (vitamin A). When exposed to UV light, retinol compounds break down and produce toxic free radicals that can damage DNA and cause gene mutations, a precursor to cancer. Recently available data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions. FDA also raised a concern that extensive, daily skin application of vitamin A creams may build up in the woman’s body a high enough level of Vitamin A that may be toxic to the developing fetus." Why is this is many sunscreens and leave on skin care products?
