Sunscreens may be beneficial, but unless the label says "broad spectrum", they will not necessarily protect you from both UVA and UVB radiation, and they block the beneficial UVB from reaching your skin. UVB is needed to make vitamin D. Sunscreens also contain many chemicals that people may be sensitive to, or find harmful if they should penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream. SunFriend recommends you get a healthy amount of sun, and then choose to cover up properly, go indoors, or use a "safe and organic" broad spectrum sunscreen to avoid over-exposure to more sun which could lead to skin damage.
