Overall this product scores poorly and is a bad choice for sun protection. Read more
Based on EWG's modeling, the UV protection is significantly lower than the SPF value would indicate.
Based on our modeling this product provides GOOD UVA protection and a POOR balance of UVA protection in relation to the SPF.
SPF values above 50 offers a false sense of security. Read more
Contains oxybenzone, a hormone disrupting chemical. Read more
The ingredients in this product pose a MODERATE health concern.
Don't depend on sunscreen alone! Shade and clothing offer much better skin protection. Read more
Sunscreens can break down while still in the bottle. To be safe dispose of products when the mixture clumps or separates.
Based on EWG's modeling this product would likely pass the FDA proposed UVA test.
The FDA does not have enough health and safety data to classify 5 active ingredients in this product as safe and effective: AVOBENZONE, HOMOSALATE, OCTISALATE, OCTOCRYLENE, OXYBENZONE
This product exceeds the FDA proposed maximum labeled SPF of 60+.

UVA/UVB Balance
EWG's estimate of the UV protection provided by this product. An ideal sunscreen filters UVA and UVB rays evenly, but some sunscreens let too many UVA rays through.
CloseEWG provides information on sunscreen products from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate both efficacy and the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other sunscreens. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.
