I've recently came across the Environmental Working Group's website, where I found baffling information about the sunscreen we put on our skin.
How can you find a sunscreen with ample UVA protection?
- Look for sunscreens that not only have an SPF rating, but also a "PA" rating. The rating will follow with plus signs. For example: PA+, PA++, PA+++. The more plus signs; the greater the UVA protection.
This isn't even touching the amount of important information about sunscreens. They also talk about sunscreens that have chemicals known to increase the risk of cancer... Umm, isn't that what we're trying to avoid? While there's not much we can do about the FDA, we can learn how to choose the "best" of the crap they sell us. The website has a list of the safest sunscreens along with a list called "The Hall of Shame." You won't believe the popular sunscreens that fall into that list!
