Healthy sunscreen, take 59

Oh how we've talked about sunscreen. In fact we're talking about it right now over at ReadySetMom. But I thought we'd talk about it here (once again) because the EnviroMom community has exploded nationwide in the past year, and I'm sure we can get some fresh insight.

The Environmental Working Group put together an exhaustive database that looked at the ingredients of cosmetics and ranked them by Low Hazard (0-2), Moderate Hazard (3-6) and High Hazard (7-10). It's really a great resource, though it does freak me out because I can't seem to get any of my hair or skin care products into the Low Hazard range. On the sunscreen side, they rank the following as the having the lowest hazard:

• California Baby SPF 30+ Sunblock Stick, No Frangrance
• Badger SPF 30 Sunscreen
• California Baby SPF 30+ Sunblock Stick Everyday/Year-Round
• Keep Solar RX Therapeutic Sunblock SPF 30
• TruKid Sunny Days Facestick SPF30+ Mineral Sunscreen, UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum

There are dozens more that rank a Total Score of 1-2 (Low) but their Health Hazard scores might be in the Moderate range. So you'd think, well, just run out and buy one of those top 5 sunscreens listed above, right? But over at ReadySetMom we heard a couple people say that Badger is really, really horribly greasy. Ew. (Though one mom did have tips for making it less greasy.) And it also seems that a lot of these 'healthy' brands are much more expensive than their Coppertone counterparts. This wouldn't be a deterrent to me, but lots of people just can't afford it.

So we ask the question once again: have you used any of the above products or other sunscreens ranked Low Hazard on the EWG database, and do you love them? Hate them?
