When studying the safety of sunscreens in the cosmeticsdatabase, I found that out of the sunscreens you find in Walmart, Coppertone isn’t too bad. They rate in the yellow range, while Banana Boat is way up in the red range.
Today, I found an article about Coppertone’s sunscreens. When testing their sunscreens, they found that if you mix the sunscreen with antioxidants, the antioxidants can reduce free radical formation with up to 74%. (Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage or destroy healthy cells – these are the ones that cause skin damage from too much UV).
So, not only does Coppertone have less harmful ingredients than the other sunscreens, but they also mix their sun protection ingredients with antioxidants, such as vitamin E to prevent sun damage.
Here is a link to the article, if you want to read more…

      Thanks! I don’t know if you are aware that I have written a book about how to make a blog with wordpress? The book is written in plain English that anyone can understand, so you don’t need any technical knowledge to use the book. Click here to learn more.
