Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have small children and after reading the EWG.org list of harmful chemicals in sunscreens, I decided to find something safer. However, ThinkBaby scored very poorly in Consumer Report's July 2018 issue for UVB (sunburn) protection. To test UVB, they conducted experiments that involved applying the sunscreen to the skin, soaking in water, exposing the area to different intensities of UVB light and then assessing skin damage 1 day later. (Several trials, the score is an average of results). The actual protection for UVB for ThinkBaby was SPF 0-9. It scored well (50+ for UVA protection). As a result, I will not be using this for my children. It seems consumers must choose between ineffective products and products that contain harmful chemicals. I have decided to invest in long sleeve sun clothing and use a minimal amount of Coppertone WaterBabies Pure and Simple more chemically harmful, but effective (and cheaper) sunscreen.
