Please for the love of god wear sunblock.

Sunscreen Guide - Rated by Scientists | EWGwww.ewg.org EWG scientists rated more than 1,700 products, and only about one in four products meets our standards for adequate sun protection and avoids ingredients linked to known health harms.

May 19, 2024 -- #NPR #Sunscreen "In a rare example of bipartisanship last summer, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, thanked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for urging the FDA to speed up approvals of new, more effective sunscreen ingredients. www.npr.org/sections/hea...

Other countries have better sunscreens. Here's why we can't get them in the U.S.www.npr.org Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. and we need all the protection we can get. So why is it so hard to get newer, more effective ingredients approved here?

...Now a bipartisan bill is pending in the House that would require the FDA to allow non-animal testing."

I would caution that this org and this list have come under a great deal of criticism from sources I trust. Which is not to say “no really, they’re all created equal”, but that if your brand isn’t on the list, it’s a sign to do more research, not throw it away. Yet.

No sunscreen I've ever used is on their list 🥲 Darn it.

Wirecutter's top two recommendations get moderate and poor ratings from EWG. Time to up my sunscreen game (again!)

I would trust Wirecutter over EWG in a heart beat.

Good source
