14 Most Dangerous Sunscreens for Children

Before we head into the sunny summer months when families head to the beach, the pool or great outdoors, a new study is warning parents of the worst sunscreens on the market.

The new study by the Environmental Working Group claims almost three quarters of sunscreens

that are sold to consumers don’t work. The risk of getting skin cancer almost doubles without protection from sunscreen. The study researched 900 sunscreens and over 500 SPF-labeled moisturizers, measuring data such as UV-ray protection, toxic ingredients and other hazards.

According to the report, 73 percent of the products tested did not work as they were advertised. Here is the list of the 14 most dangerous sunscreens for children according to the Environmental Working Group.
