It charges that makers of sunscreen, including brands such as Coppertone, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, Bullfrog and Neutrogena, inflate claims about their products’ qualities, lulling consumers into a false sense of security over prolonged sun exposure.”

Stuff like this really angers me. You believe what they tell you, slather it on and you are not protected at all. Well at least to the degree that they lead you to believe. And then what about your children. How is this going to affect them?

All I ask is that the companies be honest with us. Let us know what we are dealing with and then we can decide best how to protect ourselves.
