A couple of years ago I myself spent an afternoon studying internet articles on what the best ingredients were for sunscreen and which brand was recommended.

What I found were the following warring factions of "expert" opinions:

  1. The best ingredient is oxybenzone.
  2. Beware of putting oxybenzone on large areas of your body. The long-term effects are unknown.
  3. The best ingredient is microcrystalline zinc.
  4. Beware of putting microcrystalline zinc on large areas of your body. The long-term effects are unknown.
  5. All sunscreens are equally good. It doesn't matter which you use.
  6. All sunscreens are equally ineffective. It doesn't matter which you use.
  7. Use whatever Consumer Reports recommends (which turned out to be the Walgreens house brand.)

Walgreens probably pays Consumer Reports real good!
