Does your Sunscreen Increase Cancer Risk?
39 Recommended Sunscreens That Don't Increase Risk of Cancer

Every year, The Environmental Working Group tests hundreds of different sunscreen products on the market and reports on which ones are best for sun protection and which could be potentially harmful to your health.

Believe it or not, the majority of sunscreens on the market only protect against one of three kinds of skin cancer, melanoma not included, and many also contain chemicals that could be harmful to your health.

For 2010, EWG researchers recommended only 39 of 500 (8 percent) sunscreens. What’s especially scary about these products is that the ones made especially for little ones seem to get the worst ratings. Of the 8 sun protection products on the EWG’s “ Hall of Shame“, 5 of those were sunblock products for babies. The ones that were the most highly rated, on the other hand, were mostly natural/organic brands.

So before you slap on your usual brand, check out the EWG’s 2010 Sunscreen Guide to see if you need to be exchanging it for some safer sun protection.

Hats, clothing and shade are still the most reliable skin protection
High SPF products, which protect against sunburn, often provide very little protection against UVA radiation.
Vitamin A–free (retinyl palmitate) sunscreens are suggested as there are reports that this form of Vitamin A may elevate the risk of skin cancer
Avoid products with oxybenzone, a hormone-disrupting compound found in about 60 percent of sunscreens analyzed
Apply creams rather than sprays and powder
Use broad-spectrum sunscreens* with zinc, titanium dioxide, Avobenzone or Mexoryl SX; between SPF 30-50.

*Warning – many sunscreens claim they are broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection but have shown little UVA protection. Use the EWG’s 2010 Sunscreen Guide to choose your sunscreen
