Most Dangerous Sunscreens For Kids

Sunglasses? Check. Hat? Check Ssunscreen? Check — but wait; is that sunscreen for your kids actually safe? Healthy Child released a list of the 11 sunscreens with the worst EWG ratings. The sunscreens that made the list have potentially harmful chemicals — things like oxybenzone (which can disrupt the hormone system) and retinyl palmitate (which may actually trigger skin damage on sun-exposed skin) — and high SPFs that don't actually do any more to protect your child than an SPF 30-50. Additionally, two formulas come in a spray that won't completely cover your little one's skin and could be inhaled into their lungs.

If any of these are in your bag, toss them and opt for one of these safe sunscreens instead.
