More Americans than ever are using sunscreen to protect from sunburn and guard against skin cancer. Top choices include products with high SPF ratings, and that are waterproof or that advertise "broad spectrum" protection. Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families'. Nothing could be less certain. The Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.org) tested 785 name-brand sunscreens and found widespread evidence that many products on the market are not safe and effective, including one of every eight high-SPF sunscreens that does not protect from UVA radiation. They also identified 130 products that offer very good sun protection with ingredients that present minimal health risks to users. UV Natural Sport SPF 30 was at the top of the list. |
