According to the Environmental Working Group’s 2011 Sunscreen Report:
“Since scientist do not have definitive answers about sunscreen and skin cancer, it is no wonder that many experts recommend that people rely on clothing and shade, rather than sunscreen, to protect themselves from sun exposure.”
