BEST BEACH-FRIENDLY SPF

Written on

Any derm will tell you that the most important skincare product in all of the land is sunscreen.

They will tell you that not only should you be wearing it Every. Single. Day. but also that you must faithfully reapply often.

That said, not all sunscreens are created equal. And did you know: Chemical SPF can be hurtful to our oceans. For example, traditional ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate were actually recently banned in Hawaii due to their coral-harming effects. And mineral sunscreens—which rely on zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to physically shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays—are not only better for the environment, they’re gentler, better options for sensitive skin, and they work right away (as opposed to needing to apply and wait around for like 15 minutes before sun exposure. Like, who actually does that!?).

So, without further ado, behold, mineral SPFs you won’t mind wearing like, all the time.
