Environmental Working Group's fourth annual Sunscreen Guide gives low
marks to the current crop of sunscreen products, with a few notable
exceptions. EWG researchers recommend only 39 - 8 percent - of 500 beach
and sport sunscreens for this season.

The reason? A surge in exaggerated SPF claims above 50 and new
disclosures about potentially hazardous ingredients, in particular
recently developed government data linking vitamin A to accelerated
growth of skin tumors and lesions. Learn more
