The Best Natural Sunscreen
Younique Youology Protecting Veil* is a light weight, hydrating sunscreen that offers the highest level of protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. This non-greasy sunscreen is formulated with coffee, bitter orange and rosemary extracts to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. The formula is lightweight, won’t clog pores and layers well with makeup to help you keep your skin healthy.
The Ingredients You Need to Know
To choose the right natural sunscreen, start by reading the ingredients list, suggests Catie Wiggy, a licensed clean beauty esthetician and product developer at MyCHELLE. Look for products with natural zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which reflect UV rays without absorbing them. Avoid those that have oxybenzone or other chemicals like octinoxate, octocrylene, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor and parabens.
It’s also a good idea to check the UVA/UVB rating on the label. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends using a sun screen with an SPF of 30 or higher for daily use. It’s also important to choose a brand that uses water or oil to mix its mineral sunscreens, says Wiggy.
