Sunscreen Summary — What Works and What's Safe


This is an excellent link! A recent study tested 785 brand- name sunscreens. Not only does this study point out many sunscreens do not live up to the sun protection they claim, but many are not even safe to use!

A quote from the article:"Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families'. Nothing could be less certain."

Please take the time to check out this list and see if you are using a safe and effective product. http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/special/sunscreens/summary.php

Pgneto, thank you for your compliment on my BLOG! Being from the South you need sun protection too! Be sure to use a good sunscreen. I see you have recipes on your blog! Nice.

The public is being dooped! People believe that the product that they are using is safe but in reality they are exposing themselves to harmful rays. Great article.

Chris,
Thank you for this! I really need this information in hopes that I may see the sun some day!

OOOOOOOOH! You touched upon a subject that I am particularly passionate about -- sunscreens.

Unfortunately, the FDA does not regulate sunscreen manufacturers. Thusly, most of the sunscreens on the market today are essentially bogus.

In order for a sunscreen to deliver optimum protection it must have at least 5% zinc oxide and 5% titanium dioxide which provides broad-spectrum protection against both UV-A and UV-B rays. The American Academy of Dermatology also states that a sunscreen must be at least SPF 15 (ideally, SPF 30) which, if you consider, that an SPF 20 is reflecting/deflecting 95 out of every 100 UV protons from reaching your skin, than a SPF 15 is about 95% effective.

I write, teach, and talk about finding effective sunscreen and maximizing sunscreen efficacy quite a bit. In fact, there's an article about it on my blog.

My personal recommendation, and the most common brand that dermatologists I know recommend, is Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. (I talk about that on my blog, too). In fact, anyone who is interested can contact me for a free sample of Blue Lizard. The Cancer Crusaders Organization likes to provide patients, survivors, and students with free samples of this sunscreen whenever possible to encourage people to protect themselves from skin cancer.

To learn more about sunscreen efficacy and how to use it properly, feel free to check out my blog. (check out the June and July archives or email me).

Thanks!!!!!!
