Screening Your Sunscreen

MinuteMorningMonth
  • Find a sunscreen that protects against dangerous UVA rays and doesn't contain any ingredients that may be hazardous. EWG's Skin Deep cosmetic safety database will tell you what the label won't.
  • Buy a wide-brimmed hat and cover up! Buy a rash guard to wear at the beach and get the kids into swimsuits that will protect their arms and shoulders.
  • Learn more about what's in your other cosmetic and personal care products. The FDA doesn't require much safety testing of cosmetics and you may be surprised by the number of hazardous ingredients in your medicine cabinet.

Wow, I never thought about the sunscreen having dangerous chemicals in it. Why do I feel like I'm being tricked and used by the big corporations here? They ruin the planet, keep it from people until it's at a critical point, then turn around and make more money because now we have to use sunscreens to protect ourselves from the raging sun and while we use the sunscreen the chemicals in it around making the environment worse- thus somehow and somwhere another company is going to make more money off of everyone...that makes me mad.
