A scary find today while I was on the Internets:
Does your sunscreen work? An investigation of nearly 1,000 brand-name sunscreen products finds that 4 out of 5 contain chemicals that may pose health hazards or don't adequately protect skin from the sun's damaging rays. Some of the worst offenders are leading brands like Coppertone, Banana Boat, and Neutrogena.
What sunscreen do you use? Does it contain harmful chemicals? Will you stop using it now?

I use SkinCeuticals Active UV Defense SPF 15. Active UV Defense delivers the latest innovation in U.S. sunscreen technology by combining MexorylTM SX (ecamsule) with avobenzone to provide advanced UVA protection. With an SPF of 15, the addition of octocrylene inactivates nearly all UVB rays without an abundance of sunscreen chemicals.
This light, water/sweat-resistant formula provides the maximum broad-spectrum protection available against UV radiation that can lead to premature photoaging of the skin and more serious skin conditions such as skin cancer.
The patented, FDA-approved combination of UVB, UVA II, and UVA I filters provides elevated protection throughout the UV spectrum
3% mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule), the highest level available in the U.S.
2% avobenzone
10% octocrylene
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure
Reapply after 40 minutes of swimming or perspiring and after towel drying
Children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor
