EWG scientists reviewed more than 1,700 products with SPF for this year’s guide, but only 25% met our stringent standards for adequate sun protection without using health-harming ingredients.

EWG is here to help you find the best SPF products to keep you and your family safe from damaging UV radiation this summer. Get started here.

For the first time ever, EWG scientists have gone above and beyond our traditional rating system and granted the EWG VERIFIED® mark to some of the best sunscreens on the market.

These sunscreens must avoid all of EWG’s ingredients of concern and meet our strict standards for efficacy, exceeding U.S. and European government standards for UVA protection.
