How Safe is your Baby's Sunscreen?

I spent endless summers baking in baby oil on the Jersey shore searching for the "golden tan", of course I knew better and my mom warned me of the damage but I chose not to listen. Thankfully, I haven't had to suffer any of the consequences and am now very vigilant almost militant about wearing sunscreen.

But now with a baby in the picture, I'm even more aware of the sun and concerned for our family's wellbeing. So when a friend last year told me about the Environmental Working Group (EWR) sunscreen study, you bet I was interested. In this study, EWR rates sunscreens and moisturizers with sunscreen in 3 categories based on chemical levels that penetrate the skin.  I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Love Lots,
Mommy SF
