Consumer Report: Sunscreen No-Ad is the best to buy. The hot summer is coming, and it’s time to buy sunscreen. So which one is more suitable to buy? The authoritative American magazine "Consumer Reports" tested 18 popular sunscreen brands and published the results, which may provide some inspiration to all beauty lovers. The magazine's tests found that the most suitable isn't necessarily the most expensive. The test includes four major aspects: daily ultraviolet (UVA) and outdoor ultraviolet (UVB) protection, UVB protection after entering water, and colorant construction, with a full score of 100 points. None of the brand products tested performed well in all four areas. All Terrain Aqua Sports Sunscreen took first place with a score of 88, with 13 other products scoring 70 or above. The “Best Buy” products were No-Ad Aloe Vitamin E Sunscreen with SPF 45 and Walgreens Long Lasting Sports Spray Sunscreen with SPF 50. The SPF value refers to a product’s protection against UVB radiation. UVA can cause skin aging and skin cancer, and UVB can cause sunburn. Consumer Reports recommends people use a water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will implement new rules that require manufacturers to prove that their products are as effective as claimed and can block ultraviolet radiation and have broad-spectrum protection. However, implementation of the new rules will be delayed until December. Consumer Reports also tested the "critical wave" of these products in its evaluation report. Of the sunscreens tested, "7 were found to be very effective at blocking UVA and extremely effective at blocking UVB, even when immersed in water for 80 minutes." But two of the products, Alba Botanica Natural Emollient Sports Sunscreen with SPF 45 and Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free Sting-Free with SPF 50+, failed the test. Both effectively block UVB but offer poor protection against UVA. The FDA requires new labels and test results to be affixed to products and tell consumers that sunscreens labeled "broad spectrum" and SPF 15 or higher can prevent sun spots and reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging.
