Protect your family
Are you only getting 50% protection from the sun's harmful rays?
The sun emits two dangerous forms of radiation. Both UVA rays and UVB rays can burn your skin on the surface and below. In the past, most sunscreens focused on just UVB rays. Now you can get complete protection at any Rite Aid if you know the ingredients to look for on the sunscreen container.
