Don’t get burned! Find out which products will keep your family sun-safe this summer.

With Memorial Day weekend just days away, it’s time kick off the summer in style with picnics, pool parties and lots of fun in the sun. With all of that sun should come sunscreen, but it may be time to rethink what brand you buy.

A new report released today by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found that 80 percent of sunscreen products on store shelves are either ineffective or contain ingredients that may be harmful to your health. For the report, the 2015 Guide to Sunscreens, the EWG evaluated the ingredients and effectiveness of 1,700 products, including sunscreens, SPF-rated moisturizers and lip balms.

Only 21 percent of the sunscreens analyzed for EWG’s guide scored high marks. You can find an A-Z list of the approved products here.
