Dear Readers,
Over the past 35 years, rates of melanoma – the deadliest skin cancer – have tripled in the United States.
Finding a sunscreen that helps filter out harmful ultraviolet rays is more essential than ever, but considering that toxic chemicals like oxybenzone, a notorious endocrine disruptor, lurk in some sunscreens, it has also never been trickier.
We know you count on EWG’s annual Guide to Sunscreens to find the safest picks, and this year we’ve kicked up our work by doing the shopping for you: We’ve partnered with some of the top-rated brands to create our first-ever, limited-supply Sun Sampler Pack, packed with 17 samples of some of the most trusted EWG-rated products on the market.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind collection – you can’t find this particular selection of brands together anywhere else. The samples are valued at more than $100 – but you can get the whole pack with a gift of $55 or more today.
Each sample has been selected from EWG’s 2014 Guide to Sunscreens, which found that only 25 percent of sunscreens we assessed offer broad UV protection while posing few safety hazards. That means the other 75 percent don’t adequately guard your skin.
The fact is, too few sunscreens are up to the task. EWG’s new Sun Sampler Pack empowers you with the in-depth product insights you need for safer summer days.
With your donation, not only will you transform your approach to sun safety, but you will also support EWG’s work. Thanks to supporters like you, EWG’s annual Guide to Sunscreens has fundamentally changed the industry in the eight years since we began investigating sunscreens, but there’s still much, much more to do.
By giving today, you’ll help EWG continue to hold the government and manufacturers accountable.
Cheers to a sunny, healthy summer!
Sincerely,
Ken Cook
President, Environmental Working Group
