Recognized by the FDA as GRAS: Try These 39 Mineral Sunscreens for Face, Body, Sport and More
From face, to body, to babies and children, to sport, lips, before and after sun, we have your natural sunscreen picks covered!
We know it can be challenging to find the best natural sunscreens. There are many factors to keep in mind when choosing SPF, which is why we’ve created our comprehensive two part natural sunscreen buying guide. We’ve been compiling the best of the best since 2015, taking the guesswork out of choosing sun protection by offering you updated information and a carefully selected product line-up.
We independently choose every product we recommend based on our criteria and a member of our team personally tries each one on the list.
In order to bring you what we feel are the safest, most effective, and pleasant to use natural sunscreens, we’ve devised our own rigorous standards that go into each product we select for our guide. We independently choose every product we recommend based on our criteria and a member of our team personally tries each one on the list.
All products recommended in the Organic Authority Sunscreen Guide are mineral sunscreens free from synthetics and other questionable ingredients. No scales or ingredient listings to decipher.
While many of the same sunscreens make our list year to year, we keep a close eye on product formulations and edit our list accordingly. If a product’s ingredients no longer meet our standards, we remove it from the list. We understand that things in the growing green beauty industry change rapidly and update our criteria annually to reflect new standards and developments in natural sunscreens.
In our annual natural sunscreen product round up you will find products for face, body, babies and children, sport, and lips. We also feature before and after sun products, and ingredients that have natural sun protection properties. Each product description features protection details, certifications, and the product experience. We also note product picks from industry experts. This behind-the-scenes research helps you to zero in on the best protection for you and your family.

17. Living Libations Everybody Loves the Sunshine with Zinc $40
If you are into body oils, and who isn’t, you are going to love this product.

Many healthy oils contain several vitamins, including A. Living Libations does not use a concentrated form of the vitamin in this product, but safe, skin loving oils.
Living Libations recommends applying a few generous pumps of oil to skin to well-moisturized skin, paying special attention to nose, chin, and shoulders. Reapply at least every 2 hours.
