Hello Viewers,
Is your sunscreen actually protecting your family like it promises?
Of the 500 beach and sports sunscreens that EWG analyzed for our 2010 Sunscreen Guide, we can only recommend 8 percent. Between the false sense of security from sunscreens with an SPF of 50 or higher, and new data linking vitamin A to accelerated development of skin tumors and lesions, most products don’t live up to their hype. In fact, EWG found that wearing a hat and shirt in the sun should be your first line of defense, then using an EWG recommended sunscreen.

How does your sunscreen rank?
Only 39 sunscreens — one out of every 12 we reviewed — earn our top rating for safety and effectiveness. Find out which are in our top sunscreens list. (Hint: Leading brands like Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat and Neutrogena didn’t make the cut.)
We hope our research helps your family enjoy the summer sun safely this year.
Sincerely,
Ken Cook
President, EWG
