Default Safe Sunscreen?

How Safe Is Your Sunscreen?
A surprising new study of 1014 brand-name sunscreens has discovered that few of them offer effective protection. According to the Environmental Working Group, only 15% of sunscreens tested were found to block UVA and UVB radiation, maintain their effectiveness in sunlight and contain a minimal number of potentially hazardous ingredients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration still has not approved advanced sunscreen technology and ingredients—already in use in Europe—that are said to work better. “The sunscreens available in the U.S. provide excellent protection,” says Beth Lange, senior director of research and development at Coppertone. But she adds, “There are 16 UV filters approved for American sunscreens. In Europe, there are 28 filters OK’d for use. However, officials in Europe and elsewhere in the world have a less-complex regulatory process than the FDA does.”

That's like saying using sunscreen is no different than using cigarettes to reduce stress.
