80% of sunscreens are ineffective or harmful

Your sunscreen is probably worthless, harmful, or both, as only 21% of the 1,700 sunscreen products analyzed by EWG were found to be both effective and safe. The latest edition of the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) sunscreen guide, which analyzed some 1,700 products with sun protection claims (including not only sunscreens, but also SPF-rated moisturizers and lip balms) aims to help consumers make better choices when it comes to protecting skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The 2015 Sunscreen Guide from EWG is intended to cut through the misleading information provided by the manufacturers on the packaging and in the advertising campaigns, and to highlight the most effective and safest products to use.
