These ingredients are recorded, but their safety in this finished formula has not been individually reviewed here. The active-ingredient review does not clear the whole product or establish an overall health rank. Ingredient count, organic claims and mineral filters receive no ranking bonus.

Using the protection claim

Follow your package's directions: apply liberally before sun exposure, reapply at least every two hours and immediately after towel drying. Follow the stated 80-minute reapplication interval after swimming or sweating. For children under six months, ask a doctor. Use clothing, shade and other sun protection measures too.

Broad-spectrum SPF 15+ products can carry skin-cancer and early-aging risk-reduction claims when used as directed with other protection measures. Label values do not predict your personal outcome or how well a product works when too little is applied.
