MELVILLE, N.Y.—The Hain Celestial Group Inc. announced JASON® was recognized in the Fourth Annual Sunscreen Guide by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). The EWG reviewed 500 beach and sport sunscreens, and three JASON products made the EWG's top 30 list.
The EWG provides ratings on a total of more than 1,400 SPF products, including sunscreens, lip balms, color cosmetics and moisturizers. Products are rated on overall safety and efficacy in sun protection based on five different factors, including health hazards of the listed ingredients, UVA protection, UVB protection, the balance of the UVA/UVB protection and stability. The EWG's stability rating is based on the EWG's own in-house database, compiled from published findings in industry and peer-reviewed stability studies.
