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.
