When looking for safe, toxin free sunscreens, make sure you are avoiding chemical sunscreen ingredients and opt for a mineral sunscreen that uses non nano zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (and also doesn't have butyloctyl salicylate in the inactive ingredient section)
Note on tallow based products: I don't recommend tallow based sunscreen ingredients for swimming. Whether you are in a pool, lake or ocean.. the tallow will impact the environment and health of the water body. If you are going to swim, choose a formula without tallow.

In a vote, my community picked this one as "going on the smoothest." I love the ingredients and it does go on smoother than other zinc oxide products. Big Fan.
See below for my favorite tallow option (please do not use tallow in pools) and the one that has the very best quality ingredients.

I LOVE this tinted sunscreen. The color is light, but does provide some coverage. Perfect for no makeup summer days. Mineral sunscreen come be hard to blend smoothly, RMS performs better than all the rest. You can get this at Sephora or Ulta, but I've also given an Amazon link below.
Sunscreen hack: When using mineral sunscreen of any kind, put it on right after your moisturizer. It will help it go on smoothly.

An 8 ounce tub for $17.99.. yes please! I always have this on hand just in case. It’s full of healing oils, mango butter, Lavender, Calendula, Comfrey & Plantain.
If someone has a really bad burn, I use Lavaderm spray, which contains elderberry and Helichrysum, which will speed up the healing process.
