Skin Deep’s New Sunscreen Safety Report
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the Natural Living RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
According to the experts, the sun is toxic but so are sunscreens! Most sunscreens are loaded with chemicals, toxins and carcinogens, and anyone who knows anything about commercial sunscreens knows they are marketing ploys that are linked to cancer and other health concerns and would much rather keep themselves and their families indoors rather than douse them in a chemical bath.
Now we can go back outside (if we believe the sun is dangerous to begin with) or at least avoid a sunburn, with the help of Skin Deep’s new sunscreen report. Skin Deep cuts through the mystery ingredients and thousands of brands to bring us a simple and easy to understand rating system for beauty and personal care products.
Zero is the safest product rating they offer, 1 the second safest and so on, with 10 being the most hazardous. Stick with zeros and ones and you will have no problem. The ten safest sunscreens they report are:
1. (0)Keys Soap Solar Rx Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30
2. (0)Trukid Sunny Days Facestick Mineral Sunscreen UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum, SPF 30+
3. (0)California Baby Sunblock Stick No Fragrance, SPF 30+
4. (0) Badger Sunscreen, SPF 30
5. (1) Marie Veronique Skin Therapy Sun Serum
6. (1) Lavera Sunscreen Neutral, SPF 40

This is worrying. I think ultimately the safest thing is to stay out of the sun altogether where possible
@olly@Boss Effects Pedals:
It is not wise to avoid the sun entirely either. Human beings thrive on sunlight and lack of Vitamin D can lead to a host of health problems, including many cancers. I personally avoid sunscreens altogether and get tons of sunlight, and we use common sense by avoiding burns, “laying out” and hours in the midday sun.
