                      9 Sunscreens You Can Trust This Summer

                      Published by FoodTrients

                      Woman Summer Fashion. Sexy Girl Sunbathing By Swimming Pool. Beaty

                      For over a decade, the Environmental Working Group’s Guide to Sunscreens has helped
                      us see the light when it comes to choosing a safe and effective sun care product.

                      While almost three-fourths of the products analyzed were found to offer inferior sun protection or potentially harmful ingredients such as oxybenzone, it wasn’t all bad news in this year’s report. Mineral sunscreens are on the rise, and top-rated products lived up to their claims by using nontoxic and effective ingredients. Other rising trends include non-GMO formulations and sun-protective clothing.

                      These nine picks all received a 1 (safest) rating from the EWG.

                      Tips for choosing the best sunscreen product: 

                      • Choose products using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. They are stable in sunlight, offer a good balance between protection from the two types of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) and don’t often contain potentially harmful additives.
                      • Understand SPFs. SPF values of more than 50 can be misleading and inaccurate, plus don’t tend to offer superior protection. Plus, the SPF number only indicates UVB protection, not UVA. Look for companies that have taken extra steps to test for UVA protection, beyond the loose FDA standards.
                      • Don’t rely solely on sunscreen. At the end of the day, a sunscreen can only do so much. Limit time in the sun—and check out UV-protective clothing, which could be your safest best.
