"Come fry with me, a test of 7 eco sunscreens"

Not brave enough to suffer the various forms of sunburn possible testing the market’s most natural sunscreens, our hats are off (but they shouldn’t be in this sun) to the team at www.grist.org for their scientific, humorous and sometimes painful eco-sunscreen trial.

“Over the last several weeks, Grist staffers scooped up several of the readily available eco-brands—four sunscreens, which protect by absorbing ultraviolet rays, and five sunblocks, which provide a physical barrier on your skin—and tested them on our sun-deprived flesh. From the wan streets of Seattle to the blazing beaches of the Dominican Republic, we ventured out with nothing between us and the sun but some eco-promises.”
