Consumer Reports Poll: Thirty-One Percent of Americans Never Use Sunscreen
Date:5/20/2009

ld.
  • Apply sunscreen at least 15 to 30 minutes before going outside to allow for absorption.
  • Don't rely on sunscreen alone to protect your skin. Wear tightly woven clothing and a broad-brimmed hat, limit sun time, and seek shade during the hottest hours of the day.
  • Don't make purchases based on brand alone. Past tests have shown that different formulas or SPFs within the same brand may not rate the same.
  • Look to Consumer Reports' sunscreen Ratings for excellent or very good choices. High-rated products from Consumer Reports' 2007 tests that are still available include Blue Lizard Regular Australian SPF 30+, Mustella Bebe/Enfant High Protection SPF 50, Lancome Paris Soleil Ultra Expert Sun Care for Sensitive Skin SPF 50, and Fallene Cotz SPF 58. These sunscreens are more expensive on average than the current batch, which includes only drugstore-available brands.

    • Concerns About Ingredient Safety

    Consumer Reports notes that nanoparticles, manufactured microscopic materials that might behave differently from regular-sized particles, are sometimes used in sunscreens. Scientific studies have raised concerns about the adverse potential effects of nanoscale ingredients in sunscreens and other products on human health.

    In sunscreens, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both mineral-based, are often used nano-sized, in part to make them look clearer on the skin. Manufacturers aren't required to disclose the use of nanoparticles, but if a sunscreen ingredient label mentions either of those minerals, it could mean the presence of nanoparticles. More information about nanotechnology can be found at www.ConsumerReportsHealth.org.
