Fun in the sun

The Environmental Working Group did an interesting investigation of sunblock:

In a new investigation of 785 name-brand sunscreens, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) 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. We have also identified 130 products that offer very good sun protection with ingredients that present minimal health risks to users.

Check out the data here.

  1. That's really interesting! Even some of the 'natural' brands were toxic.
