Sunscreen Study

[Falcon]

Hey guys, just a heads up...

There's been a comprehensive study done on over 750 name-brand sunscreens. This study found that only about 130 are actually effective and safe for your body. It may be a good idea to check up on the sunscreen you are using.

most protective in USA:

Anthelios SX. spf 15 uva 15 great stuff. pricy but, I use it as a daily moisturizer.

Neutrogena spf 55 uva~15-18, but concern about oxybenzone? burns my face a bit.

Canadian and European blocks are superior. Order online.

80% of all age related aging is due to UV exposure.

Good find. Thank you.

rofl.

80%?!?!?
what would you define as age related aging?

i mean. thats probably just as retarded, vague, and pointless statistic as i've ever heard.

i think 80% of my lil cousins AGE RELATED AGING would be from infant milk powder tds, rather than any sun damage.

he probably meant skin-related aging

You guys ever notice how far behind the US always is because of the FDA? Europe and canada have approved things a decade prior that the US is just now bothering to experiment with.

All the time I hear about products that no one is being hurt by just not FDA approved yet. They're too busy banning things like ephedra because some idiots take way more than the intended dosage, nevermind the fact that the chinese have used it for centuries and last i heard their population is no where near dying off.

Thanks Potbelly.
I though it was obvious we were talking about the skin and sun exposure, and UV induced photoaging.

Sunscreens in the USA are regulated as drugs, not cosmetics like they are in Europe.

Mr. Ruckus, Good points you brought up. I agree.

I think big Pharma has alot of lobbying power. FDA works really slow, and have to be sure that the drug works, otherwise companies will be sued all the time.
