EWG Sunscreen 2016

Harvest Market makes it easy for you and your family to stay safe in the sun. The sunscreens we carry rate lowest for toxicity on The Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. This database shows you the latest research on safety for personal care products, breaking it down for you ingredient by ingredient. On the Skin Deep Database, a rating of 0-2 is the lowest toxicity, a rating of 3-6 is moderate, and a rating of 7 or higher is high risk.
