Environmental Working Group 2017 Sunscreen Report
Every year the EWG releases its much awaited sunscreen report that looks at the myriad of chemicals and formulations that go into the sunscreens that we apply to ourselves and families.
Here in SoCal, the report release is usually much anticipated and discussed. This year they have expanded categories for sport and babies, obviously public interest continues to grow and this report and the ‘dirty dozen’ lists have main stream appeal.
For optimal vitamin D levels, apply sunscreen after 10 or 15 minutes of sun exposure. Here is the link to the report: https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/.
