Here are our suggestions for the finest sunscreens:
Elevé Vitamin Sea Mineral Antioxidant Sunscreen SPF 28 feels creamy and gets absorbed easily by the skin, keeping it both moist and protected all day with its 20% zinc oxide. You will enjoy a healthy, moisturized glow thanks to turmeric, shea butter, and vitamins C and E. The antioxidant-rich formula helps to fight premature aging and protect your skin against environmental stressors. There is no white residue, no chemical screen or silicones. Suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive, Elevé Sunscreen is also reef safe. If you suffer from reactive, dry skin or redness, it will actually soothe it and calm it. Find it at

Sunrider Oi-Lin® Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 uses titanium dioxide to protect your skin from UVA and UVB radiation. Titanium dioxide is ideal for sensitive skin. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection against UV rays. This product is very emollient and soothing, and thanks to squalane, your sensitive or dry skin will not get irritated, but instead will absorb the creamy texture quickly and be left with an embellishing radiancy. Powerful antioxidants include lysine PCA and tocopheryl acelysine (a natural vitamin E skin-conditioning agent) that helps revitalize skin on a cellular level to protect it against pollution and the damaging effects of free radicals. Avocado oil, jojoba seed oil, millet seed extract add more protection against environmental damage. Butcher’s broom root extract reduces pores and helps calm inflammation. Plantain seed extract contains allantoin to soothe skin and promote skin regeneration.

SPF 50 Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen by VI Derm Beauty is effective for all skin tones, types, and age groups with its octinoxate UVA and UVB filter on the skin. Developed by the same creators of the first painless chemical peel (VI Peel), the featherweight formula is easily absorbed by the skin but dries to a matte finish. Ideal if your skin secretes too much oil or if it flares up and gets easily inflamed; it disappears on contact and stays invisible, though it is working to protect your skin. The formula includes green tea to reverse pre-existing sun damage, antifungal and antibacterial aloe vera to soothe, and inflammation reducers like Pueraria lobata root and chamomile. A minority and female-owned skincare, you can find this powerful, fine-textured, skin healing sunscreen for all skin types at https://vipeel.com/collections/vi-derm-beauty/products/spf-50-daily-uv-defense-broad-spectrum.
