Once again, summer beach and pool days are upon us and we need to remind ourselves to deal prudently with exposure to the sun's rays. Sunscreens are the most widely promoted means of protection but there are more than a few caveats.
No Spray Ons - Too easy to miss a spot.
No super high SPFs - EWG advises avoiding products higher than SPF 50.
No oxybenzone - There can be significant absorption into the bloodstream, with an estrogen-like effect.
No retinyl palmitate - EWG recommends avoiding as research shows synergistic effect with sun exposure for tumor development.
No combined sunscreen/bug repellent - combining screens with repellent may increase repellent absorption.
No sunscreen towlettes or powders - FDA sunscreen rules bar these.
No tanning oils - products with SPF lower than 15 are worthless.
For more info, check out more useful info at EWG.org.
Let's be careful out there.
