I think this is a bit different Julie. The labels are not clear. When they say it's "waterproof".......there is NO SUCH THING! "All Day Protection".....does NOT exist. The examples you gave...are examples of plain ignorance.........but the sunblock companies are straight up lying to you!!!

When we apply a sun block, you can devide the protection level by 5 so if you're using a 30, it is really a 6. Why ? because we don't not apply enough qty in our skin and not often enough.

Yup.. that's true... and is sad how many ppl do believe what the packages is telling them... and a lot of them do not re-apply... if you put on sunblock in the morning.. IT DOESN'T PROTECT YOU FOR THE WHOLE DAY!!!

LOS ANGELES - With summer just around the corner, lawsuits filed Thursday accuse sunscreen makers of exposing millions of people to cancer and other dangers through false and misleading claims about the effectiveness of their products.
The nine suits — involving some of the most popular brands, including Coppertone, Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, Bullfrog and Neutrogena — charge that manufacturers dangerously inflate claims about the protective qualities of sunscreens, lulling consumers into believing they are safe from the dangers of prolonged sun exposure.
One lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, calls sunscreen the “snake oil of the 21st century."
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the leading cause of skin cancer.
The suits seek to stop the defendants from engaging in allegedly misleading marketing practices. They also seek restitution of all money wrongfully acquired in violation of business and professions codes, unspecified damages for injuries suffered by plaintiffs, and punitive damages.
The suits, filed in California, name as defendants Johnson & Johnson Inc., Schering-Plough Corp., Playtex Products Inc., Tanning Research Laboratories Inc. and Chattem Inc.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys are seeking class-action status for suits against each manufacturer.
Not true sunblock?
The suits focus on labels that claim the sunscreens protect equally against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, and also claims of how long supposed waterproof sunscreen remains effective in water.
“In truth and in fact ... as defendants knew or should have known, their skin protection products, at best, only protect the skin against harmful UVB rays with shorter wavelengths, while the skin remains exposed to harmful UVA rays with longer wavelengths that penetrate deep within the skin,” according to the suits.
