It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.
There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn’t banning sunscreen, it’s making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.
Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.

I mean, it halfway is:
“Sunscreen” – stuff with a decently high SPF rating – is a good thing that prevents cancer.
“Suntan lotion” – usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating – is a bad thing that harms people.
“Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.

To be fair, non-mineral sunscreens do fuck with your hormones. Still better then skin cancer though.

Did the Wicked movie get the look right? It seems like a fun place apart from all the fascism.
The book did it better =)

This is not truth everywhere. Where I grew up suntan lotion is sunscreen.
