You should always consult with a qualified physician or health professional about your specific circumstances.Further research was undertaken, and after $6 million spent in development, the next generation organic sunscreen was created. Please note: The Bump and the materials and information it contains are not intended to, and do not constitute, medical or other health advice or diagnosis and should not be used as such. Finding shade and planning activities around peak sun hours should be your first courses of action whenever possible. It’s important to note that sunscreen isn’t the only way-or even the best way-to protect yourself and your children from the sun.

So what can you use instead? As a general rule, mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as the active ingredients is best. SPF protects against UVB rays that burn the skin, but not UVA rays that penetrate it.

Anything with an SPF over 50 gets a strike because it gives people a false sense of security without offering any meaningful, additional protection.

(And recent horror stories are giving parents good reason to stay away.)

Aerosol sprays are on the ‘worst’ list because they don’t cover the skin evenly or thickly, and can increase exposure to harmful chemicals when inhaled.

Ingredients like oxybenzone and retinyl palmitate count as strikes because they are linked to health problems-skin reactions and tumor/lesion enhancement, respectively.

Three main factors can earn a sunscreen a poor rating from the EWG:

The non-profit advocacy group (which, while known for thorough research, is not affiliated with official health organizations like the FDA) looked at over 239 beach and sport sunscreens, filtering them further based on which ones were marketed for babies and kids. Just in time to help, the Environmental Working Group released its 2017 sunscreen guide, vetting suntan lotions based on effectiveness and ingredients. With the warmer months fast approaching, summer safety is top of mind.
