The 7 Best Eco-Friendly Sunscreens to Protect Your Skin

Selecting a sunscreen before heading out on a summer adventure can be a confusing and overwhelming experience. The pharmacy shelves are usually packed with hundreds of brands in different styles and applications, all competing with glaring labels and skeptical claims.

You can cut through all of the marketing mess and by picking up one that simply says “broad-spectrum” and has a SPF (sun protection factor) of 30. That way, you’ll be adequately protecting yourself during any summertime fun in the sun, but just remember to reapply often and after any sweat sessions or dips in the pool.
