Non Toxic Sunscreens for the Whole Family (No White Cast!)
Summer is just around the corner and we need to talk about sunscreen before you go out and stock up.
SPF is essential when in the sun in the summer, but a lot of the nontoxic mineral sunscreens leave a white cast on your skin.
So a common question I’ve been getting on Instagram is:
What is a non toxic sunscreen that DOESN’T leave me looking like a ghost or even purple?!
I did the research and tested out a few brands - here are my top:
For the Babies:
Think Baby: Thinkbaby sunscreen offers babies with highly efficient sun protection of SPF 50+ against both UVA and UVB rays. It is a broad spectrum baby sunblock suitable for everyday use on infants' delicate skin, providing a gentle shield against the sun's harmful rays.
Babo Botanicals: Babo Botanicals sunblock is specifically designed for individuals with very sensitive skin, as it is fast-absorbing, lightweight, and does not leave a white residue. It is also water-resistant, making it perfect for babies who are prone to getting wet while playing in the sun.
For the Teens + Adults:
Olita Tinted Mineral Sunscreen: This one will give you a nice glow of a tan while protecting your skin from the sun. The active ingredients are titanium dioxide and 20% zinc.
Black Girl Sunscreen: The top sunscreen for dark skin, the reviews and ingredients are amazing! The active ingredients are avobenzone 3%, octisalate 5%, octocrylene 10%, and homosalate 10%.
Badger Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Cream: Whenever I share about Badger there’s always so many comments of people saying how much they love it! The active ingredient in this one is non-nano zinc oxide.
For Teens + Adults Daily Face SPF:
Mad Hippie Tinted SPF: This is the spf I use on my face daily, year round! I can’t recommend this one enough, I’ve been using it for a few years and absolutely love it! The active ingredient is zinc-oxide 13.5%
