The Best Natural Sunscreens for Your Clean Beauty Regimen

Now that Earth Month is over you probably have a fresh stash of clean beauty products. (Guilty.) But you may not have thought about updating your sunscreen selection. Your clean beauty agenda requires a sunscreen that is both nontoxic and completely shields your skin from sun damage. Thankfully, the best natural sunscreens have you covered. And not in telltale residue.

Not only do they provide clean protecting power, they are also nongreasy. Which means they won’t leave behind chalky patches. After all, what good is sunscreen if you don’t want to use it? Another bonus? Most actually contain skin-perfecting ingredients that will leave your skin better off than it was before you applied your daily SPF.

Most of us look so hard for lighter, nongreasy, sheer sunscreens that we often settle for formulas that rely on parabens, artificial fragrances and other harmful ingredients. Since sunscreen is something you should wear daily, it’s definitely one skin care item you don’t want to skimp on. When it comes to price or natural ingredients.

Luckily, there’s a huge range of labels making natural sunscreens with organic or safely-sourced natural formulas that focus on protecting your skin. So now you’re out of excuses. Here are our faves.
