The good glow: Stay safe with protective sunscreens this summer

Sunscreen helps reduce the risk of sunburns and long-term skin damage, but only one in four products offers adequate protection and does not contain worrisome ingredients, according to an EWG analysis of more than 1,800 sunscreens.

EWG’s analysis is part of our Guide to Sunscreens, updated this year, which offers crucial tips on the best sunscreens for children, details on which products provide the best SPF protection, information on ingredients of potential concern and more. As long as regulations governing the safety and efficacy of sunscreens fall short, consumers need to be careful when choosing their products.

Independent tests of sunscreens often do not equate to the SPF value found on the front of sunscreen bottles. Most consumers are drawn to suncreens with higher SPFs, but these can create a false sense of sun safety and potentially weaken protection against ultraviolet, or UV, radiation.

Many people believe that an SPF 100 sunscreen offers twice the protection of an SPF 50 product, but the difference is negligible – when properly applied, SPF 50 will block 98 percent of UV rays, whereas SPF 100 blocks 99 percent. EWG’s guide details the variability in SPF, offering advice about what we think are the best sunscreen products for your daily use.
