How effective is your sunscreen?

I have a fair skinned husband who has a family history of melanoma so sunscreen is an important thing to us.  When we were on Kauai and the sunscreen was running low, we saw that Hawaiian Tropic had new spray sunscreen in SPF 50 so he was happy to be able to get that coconut smell in a spray.  I wish I’d found this site before we bought the next bottle of sunscreen.  You can find your sunscreen in their database and see how it ranks.  Hawaiian Tropic…it’s on the avoid list.  Sigh.  I don’t know that I would stop buying it for me as a light sunscreen but for my man, when the bottle runs out, we’ll be consulting this list to make sure he gets the absolute best protection.  If you want to see how yours rates, click here and search away.  (This is one of those things you need to make up your own mind about and decide whether or not it’s something that concerns you enough to use in the future)
