EWG's Best Beach & Sport Sunscreens

Spring sports are back up and running. The kids are outside much more, and we all need to be reminded to use sunscreen. Now, I use sunscreen everyday, but it is sometimes difficult to do the same for our kids. I leave the sunscreen bottles in a basket by our front door to help the whole family remember to take care of our skin. The best protection from the sun is a hat and clothing that covers your body, but when skin needs to be exposed, use EWG's guide to sunscreens to find your best match.

EWG's top-rated sunscreens all contain the minerals zinc or titanium. These are the best choices for people who want the best UVA protection without potential hormone disruptor chemicals.

Enjoy your fun in the sun by being smart about skin protection.
