What's True
Some chemical sunscreen ingredients can be absorbed through the skin and detected in blood. That part of the claim is based on real studies by FDA researchers, published in JAMA in 2019 and 2020.
What's False
However, those studies did not show that sunscreen causes cancer, damages the immune system or removes the body's cancer defenses. The 2020 JAMA study explicitly stated that its findings did not mean people should stop using sunscreen.

Good idea.
If there's been a claim of any danger from absorption of the ingredients, then it suffers from the same fatal flaw of the arguments from the anti-vax crowd: any danger of X causing harm is vastly overshadowed by the danger of NOT using X, but the comparison is not made by the sky-is-falling crowd. Sunlight itself can cause skin cancers, and that very important point is glossed over.

Having forgotten my sunscreen on Sunday, I'm currently suffering from the effects of overexposure to UV radiation.

My husband rode a bicycle for long distances, and, having bent over the handlebars for hours, had a couple of skin cancers in the middle of his back. He was, like me, a fair-skinned redhead, and lotioned himself up everywhere he could reach, but the middle of his back wasn't one of those places, and a shirt wasn't enough to block the rays.

I 100% agree. However, I've seen the response to that being "Sunlight is natural and good for you and the idea that it causes skin cancer is a lie spread by (INSERT CONSPIRACY HERE.)"

That's fine ... but only for northern locations where the sunlight is not so strong.
Before cautions were issued about skin cancer and high-SPF lotions were available, it was common for young women to tan themselves deeply "to look good". However, after they'd aged to much the texture of a smoked kipper, we knew them as "the leather ladies".
