Non Toxic Sunscreens
These sunscreens are broken up into those for your face (many tinted options) and those for your body. I’m religious about putting it on my face and I’m slowly getting better about applying it more regularly to my body – namely my shoulders and arms.
There are A LOT of ingredients in sunscreen. EWG, the site I use to get an idea of a product’s “cleanliness” only recently started even grading sun protection because it’s so complicated.
When looking for a non toxic sunscreen, you want a mineral or physical rather than a chemical sunscreen. Look for keywords such as ‘titanium dioxide’ or ‘zinc oxide.’ These sit on top of the skin and don’t penetrate skin or enter the bloodstream.
There is a ‘gray’ area when it comes to spray sunscreens. Because of the potential to inhale the sunscreen with a spray option, it’s not considered a safe option. As the mother of a 4 year old, I also understand the ease of sprays though. So, now you know, and you decide what is best for you.
When it comes to using sunscreen, it should always be the last thing you put on. Non toxic sunscreen is designed to sit on the skin, so anything applied on top of it won’t skin into your skin. Apply your SPF after all serums, lotions, and oils.
