WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy Satire) – In a shocking new report that no one saw coming—except maybe your dermatologist—federal researchers have discovered that nearly 80% of sunscreens are either ineffective, unsafe, or both. Translation: Your SPF 50 might as well be mayonnaise.
“This explains why I got sunburned at my desk,” said confused office worker Chad Lightman, who had slathered himself in a ‘reef-safe’ organic blend made from coconut oil and unverified optimism.
The study found that many sunscreens don’t actually block harmful rays, but instead provide a false sense of security and a delightful glaze for searing your flesh under the sun. Some were even found to contain chemicals that, when exposed to UV rays, transform into ingredients used in small-scale chemical warfare—or at least in certain Taco Bell sauces.
Health officials are urging Americans to stop trusting anything labeled “natural,” “vegan,” or “blessed under the full moon.” Instead, they recommend taking the traditional approach to sun protection: staying inside and judging beachgoers from the air-conditioned safety of your home.
In response, sunscreen manufacturers released a joint statement: “Our products meet rigorous marketing standards. Any resemblance to actual skin protection is purely coincidental.”
