CeraVe Sunscreen

Supergoop! Sunscreen

Supergoop! PLAY Body Mousse SPF 50 Sunscreen
Supergoop!

The name Supergoop may be deceiving, as their products are anything but goopy. For instance, their PLAY Body Mousse SPF 50 with Blue Sea Kale is a super lightweight, whipped sunscreen that is easy to apply and not at all greasy. Supergoop! sunscreens are cruelty-free, clean, and reef-safe, so you can rest easy when you use their products. They have a wide range of products that protect your skin, including eye shadow, hand screen, lip shield, and mineral powder.

Blue Lizard Sunscreen

Blue Lizard SPF 30+ Sunscreen
Walgreens

Blue Lizard mineral sunscreen that is chemical free, and dermatologist recommended. And although its protection is excellent, it’s their Smart Bottle Technology that really makes them special. Their sunscreen bottles will turn blue in the sunlight to remind you it’s time to lather up. Check out their baby sunscreen, mineral stick sunscreen, or sport sunscreen, along with the rest of their sunscreen lineup

Badger Company Sunscreen

Badger Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen
iHerb

Badger Company Clear Zinc Sunscreen is unusual in that most zinc sunscreens are thick and white, leaving streaks on your skin. The clear zinc means you don’t have to worry about that!  Their SPF 40 sunscreen is un-scented, water-resistant and hypoallergenic. They have a variety of lotions and sticks, a baby sunscreen, and even a sunscreen that doubles as bug spray
