The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has posted their 2011 Sunscreen Guide! This is a super helpful tool to find sunscreens that are both safe and effective for you and your family. Not only do they offer their picks for the best sunscreens, SPF lip balms and SPF moisturizers, but you can also search the database to see how your current sunscreen stacks up against others.
In this report, EWG also includes important Sun Safety tips, as well as some interesting information exposing the "science and politics" behind the sunscreen industry.
Did you know that sunlight can cause chemicals in some sunscreens to release free radicals that damage skin? Or that there is no real proof that a higher SPF sunscreen works any better than a lower SPF one? This guide is full of information that might surprise you and make you think twice about your choice of sunscreen.
