Sunscreens- helping or hurting?

With summer quickly coming to a close, this may come as a little late, but always worth looking into. What were you using to protect your littles (and yourself) this summer with long hours out in the sun? Many sunscreens tend to protect you from the sun, but at the expense of some very toxic chemicals. I challenge you to check out the sunscreens that you have been using through this database. The lower the ranking (1/10) the better the product. If you’re surprised by the ranking of your sunscreen, check out the rest of your everyday products and see how those rank. I have also created a quick search on some products with the kiddos with ranking reference.
