US EditionConsumer Reports: Best Sunscreens of 2025
UNITED STATES, JUN 26 – Experts say SPF 30 to 50 sunscreens provide sufficient UVB protection when applied correctly amid concerns over misleading higher SPF claims, with only 25% of products meeting broad-spectrum standards.
- Consumer Reports released its exclusive 2025 sunscreen ratings after testing over 100 products revealing major differences in protection.
- The report follows findings that many sunscreens use outdated formulas, contain concerning ingredients, and only a quarter actually provide adequate UV protection.
- Experts recommend broad-spectrum sunscreens with at least SPF 30 for daily use and emphasize that correct application and reapplication are crucial for effectiveness.
- Dr. Shari Lipner noted SPF 30 protects against 97% of UV rays, SPF 70 about 98.6%, and SPF 100 just 99%, while higher SPFs can be costly and offer minimal extra benefit.
- These findings suggest consumers should prioritize proper sunscreen use and broad-spectrum coverage over very high SPF values, as even top sunscreens underperform if misapplied.
