Sunscreen Safety: What You Must Know
Dear Reader,
More and more of us are using sunscreens to protect skin from sunburn,
signs of early aging and some kinds of skin cancer.
But when you're
shopping for that sun protection product this summer, look beyond
the package and the claims on the label… make sure you know
exactly what you're buying.
According to a report known as the Environmental Working Group,
EWG 2009 Sunscreen Guide, three of five brand names either don't
offer sufficient protection to skin from sun damage or contain hazardous
chemicals.
Sometimes both come together in one handy little package
according to the just released report by the EWG, a self-proclaimed
watchdog organization.
Critics say the report makes some valid
points, but also carries a more alarmist tone than might be strictly necessary.
The report looked at 1,599 sunscreens, lip balms and moisturizers
with an SPF (Sunburn Protection Factor) of at least 15. This is often
the minimum recommended, though you can buy products with lower (and
higher) SPF numbers.
The researchers obtained a list of ingredients
from retailers and used lots of databases to look at the safety
and effectiveness of each product's ingredients.
This year's study, like the one in 2008, was prompted because the
FDA has yet to set safety standards for sunscreens… at least
when it comes to UVA protection, UVB labels already exist.
It's UVA
rays that are associated with skin wrinkles and sagging, but also
with skin cancer. UVB rays lead to sunburn and skin cancer.
The group also isn't happy that the FDA has approved only 17 chemicals
for use in sunscreens, yet there are at least 29 used in other parts
of the world.
The EWG report makes plain the belief that the agency
is lagging behind other countries. Other experts who reviewed the
report for online resource WebMD agree that drawing attention to
snail's pace of the FDA on this issue is a good idea.
"The most important thing they highlight is that the FDA is
really lagging behind in getting a UVA rating," agrees Eric
Schweiger, MD, a Manhattan dermatologist and clinical instructor
of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
He recommends that
patients use as high an SPF as possible when it comes to sun protection,
since he believes most people don't apply sunscreen properly anyway.
Improvements the EWG finds from last year?
Almost 70% of brands
(only 29% in 2008) have added strong UVA protection to the mix.
What's more, the ingredient oxybenzone, with the potential to disrupt hormone
systems was in 19% fewer products this year.
The report also
has a list of 339 sunscreens that it does not recommend.
The report's detractors from the sunscreen industry say the assessment
is flawed and that the sunscreen ingredients weren't looked at in
terms of stability.
They insist that what's inside the bottle isn't
nearly as important as applying the product correctly, using the
right sunscreen for what you'll be doing (and your skin type) and
reapplying every two hours.
