Best Sunscreens
From Joy Anderson (info from ABC News 20/20)

Interesting Top Ten List of effective and SAFE sunscreens. Save your $, the CVS brand came in at #3! It never occurred to me that some of the ingredients in the sunscreens are microscopic and has not been determined if they can cause health risks. Apparently the jury is still out on ingredients like mexoryl and helioplex as to their overall safety. Slather it on!
