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)
Sunny Sailor is the new kids on the block and they hit it out of the park! It's loaded with organic ingredients like olive oil, shea butter and calendula oil to aid the zinc in natural sun protection. The clear zinc oxide means you won't get a white cast with this. Big, big fan.
This WORKS! Lots of skin loving ingredients and definitely more of a luxury sunscreen.
Their stick & lotion are clean. Their spray is not because it has Phenoxylethanol.
Badger has always been a super clean, budget friendly sunscreen brand and easy to find at stores.
avoid their sports spray option
I’ve done the digging so you don’t have to. Shop my top non toxic sunscreens on Amazon.
If you want a sunscreen that will not break you out, is acne safe and won awards for eczema safe AND has no skin disrupting silicones, but is made with organic herbs and vitamin-rich oils keep skin super healthy and glowing.....Photonic is it!
It also comes in a refillable glass bottle to save you money and reduces waste.
This is a favorite for a lightweight option, but it's been out of stock for a while.
I like that there are so many afordable options and it's easy to find Attitude in stores.
a great serum/moisturizer/SPF all in one!
The sheerest most lightweight option. Fells so good on skin.
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.
all botanicals and minerals
for a little more coverage
Like Badger, these ingredients are very simple and clean.
Attitude has a lot of options, from face sticks, to sensitive and fragrance free for baby.
Many of these brands are available at Target and other stores and pharmacies.
Every ingredient is skin loving and organic and it goes on better than any other option. This would be my top pick if it was sold in stores and easy to find. But, you can get it on Amazon.
The face stick & spray both have ingredients to avoid. But, the lotion is clean.
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.
