What are the benefits, if any, of using organic sunscreen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen criteria: Whether it's organic or not, all sunscreens have to pass the same tests to be approved and recognized for certain levels of protection. Look for sunscreens with an spf of at least 30, and one that says "broad spectrum" with uva and uvb protection. Zinc oxide is a natural substance found in manhy sunscreens that is extremely effective inprotecting the skin.
