Consumer Reports rates sunscreens (COMPLETE DETAILS)

(CBS) "Consumer Reports" just released its annual sunscreen ratings. Which brands came out shining - and which got burned?

Three products were rated "best buys" by the nonprofit consumer organization. Topping the list was Target's Up & Up's Sport Continuous SPF 30 spray, which the nonprofit said offers good protection against cancer-causing solar radiation at an economical 88-cents-per-ounce cost.

The other best buys were No-Ad with Aloe and Vitamin E SPF 45, and Equate Baby SPF 50.

Other "recommended" brands included: Banana Boat Sport Performance SPF 30, Banana Boat Sport Performance SPF 100, Coppertone Sport Ultra Sweatproof SPF 30, CVS Fast Cover Sport SPF 30, Walgreens Sport SPF 50, and Ocean Potion Kids Instant Dry Mist SPF 50.

All nine of the top sunscreens were rated "excellent" for protecting against UVB rays - the ones that cause sunburn - and "very good" ratings for protecting skin from UVA rays - those linked to aging and tanning, WebMD reported.

Which products got burned in the rankings? None. "Consumer Reports" said the 13 other sunscreens offered good UV protection, according to the company's website. The nonprofit tested 22 sunscreens sprays, creams, or lotions for water resistance, odor, and skin feel, in addition to effectiveness at blocking UV rays.

But effectiveness is one thing, safety another. Almost every sunscreen in the ratings contained chemicals that the nonprofit said are potentially toxic. For example, oxybenzone is believed to interfere with hormones, and the vitamin A compound retinyl palmitate has been linked with birth defects.

As a safety precaution, the nonprofit said pregnant women may want to avoid sunscreens with retinyl palmitate.

But the benefits of using sunscreen outweigh the potential risks, according to the nonprofit. For full protection, people should use two to three tablespoons of a lotion on most of your body or "spray as much as can be evenly rubbed in and then go back over every area and spray completely once again," Dr. Jessica Krant, a board-certified dermatologist, told the nonprofit.
