My understanding is that all sunscreens have to list all the ingredients as part of the label? Sunscreens sent to EWG for a review just have to say what is on their label rather than actually send the tube/bottle to them for review. I would have thought that Banana Boat would very quickly let EWG know of any error? At the end of it all I think you are right though - go with what works best for you. No skin reactions is a great start! ie. Notice and listen to your body or your child's body. If a sunscreen contains oxybenzone I keep well away. Knowing that it may possibly be a hormone disrupting compound, or the cause of any skin reactions is enough for me to choose another sunscreen that does not contain it!
