What is the safest brand of sunscreen?

I did a search for your question about the "safest brand of sunscreen" and I found a couple of pages that may have the answer you need. The first link has a long alphabetical list of sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB-sunburn) protection with fewer hazardous ingredients. The second link talks about which ingredients to look for and avoid. http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/best-sunscreens/best-beach-sport-sunscreens/ http://breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen/top-sun-safety-tips/ http://www.scribd.com/doc/11724413/Safe-Sunscreen


Which is worse the UV rays from the sun or the chemicals from the sunscreen on your skin?

Sunscreens are extensively tested, and the diffusion of sunscreen ingredients through the skin is very low. Sunscreens, depending on the ingredients, might cause a handful of cancers in different organs per million people exposed, over their lifetimes. I wouldn't be surprised if the constant efforts at developing new substances for sunscreen protection (or just makeups) was not fundamentally responsible for the acceleration of the estrus cycle in white human females, but that is a different question. UV rays cause cancer in the thousands, per million people exposed, *if* some sunscreens or protection is used. And that number goes up if no protection is used.
