- EWG asks “How safe is your sunscreen?”
Are you sure that your sunscreen works and is safe for your family’s skin?
EWG’s brand new review of 1,572 products found that 3 out of 5 sunscreens offer inadequate protection from the sun or contain ingredients with significant safety concerns. And for the first time, we also review sun-protective lip balms and lotions.

How does your sunscreen rank?
We identified fewer than 100 products that offer very good sun protection with ingredients that present minimal health risks to users. Find out which on our top sunscreens list. (Hint: Leading brands like Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena fared poorly.)
We hope our research helps your family enjoy the summer sun safely this year.
