Consumer Reports Raises Questions About Sunscreens, Says Only Two Provide Claimed Protection

Consumer Reports says that when it comes to sunscreens only two products tested – BullFrog WaterAmor Sport InstaCool SPF 50+ and Coppertone Sensitive Skin SPF 50 – provided the SPF promised on the label.

The full report and Ratings of sunscreens can be found in the July 2014 issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.

“Consumer Reports is recommending seven sunscreens from Banana Boat, BullFrog, Coppertone, Equate (Walmart), Neutrogena, Up & Up (Target) and Well (Walgreens). While not all of them met the SPF claimed on their labels, the recommended sunscreens all provided very good to excellent protection overall as well as against UVA and UVB rays individually.”
