    This chemical suncreen is vegan, cruelty-free, and it contains no oxybenzone.

    Promising reviews: "I bought this sunscreen right before I went to Vietnam. I wore it everyday and I never got even a slight sunburn. It is super lightweight and doesn't cause my skin to break out." —Sofia

    "What I absolutely love about this product is you will never get a white cast when applying this. It is very easy to use. I normally apply in the morning before leaving and just when I’m about to drive home from work. It’s a little pricy for the amount you get but still worth it!" —Angela

It's also oil-free, reef-friendly, and packed with antioxidants. It's no wonder this happens to be a Supergoop! best-selling product.

    Promising review: "I always hated sunscreen. Cakey, gave me breakouts, made my face white, clogged my pores... Not this baby. This is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I LOVE to put this on, it makes me so happy, from the consistency, to the color, to the way it feels on my fingers and then on my face. It is perfect. Haven't had a sunburn since I discovered it a year ago." —GA007

    Promising review: "This lotion is odorless and non-greasy. It moisturizes very nicely and, more importantly, it provides great sun protection. I have never gotten a sunburn on my face while using this product. I put it on once a day and it lasts, although I have never used it while swimming. For everyday use, I highly recommend this product, which is reasonably priced and does an excellent job of moisturizing and protecting the skin!" —Julie F.

    Promising reviews: "I have been looking for a sunscreen that does not make me break out and I finally found it! Other sunscreens are too oily or make my skin break out. I have acne prone/oily skin. It doesn’t leave any white residue. I would recommend!"  —Vicky

    "This is a great face sunscreen. I needed something with higher SPF that I could layer with my normal moisturizer, and this has been great! It has a somewhat firmer texture when applying -- not silky smooth like a regular lotion -- but the coverage is fantastic without feeling heavy once it's on. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and my face feels great and sunburn free." —Shanshantastic

I tried this out by taking it out for a day of paddle boarding in my swimsuit and absolutely NO sunburn! I am a Mexican-American woman with tan skin and I am absolutely in love with this stuff. I dreaded using sunscreen because of the white cast that almost all of them leave. My eczema-ridden skin also appreciates how moisturizing it is without irritating my skin." —Vero

    Promising reviews: "This is now the only sunscreen I use. It looks fantastic under all base products and actually helps in their application (no pilling!). My favorite thing is that it’s a one-and-done product: sunscreen, acne prevention, and makeup prep all in one easy step. The fewer products used on oily, acne-prone skin, the better! I am 39 and still have much of the same skin concerns I’ve always had and it would have been great to have this product 20 years ago. I have tried other, much more expensive options, but this is best-in-class for us acne-prone folks. I am already on my second bottle and will continue to repurchase. Lastly, it’s kind of fun to use with the cute little bottle-and-dropper system. If you don’t enjoy the chore of applying sunscreen every day, this will probably help you change your ways." —KR

    "I love this sunscreen serum that goes on clear and evenly smooth which not only helps me as a woman of color to not look pasty, it also helps me beat the damaging rays of the Arizona sun❣️" —Monique

    Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

    Promising review: "I bought this once on clearance at Target and became a faithful user since! This stuff is perfect after a sunburn! Relieves the burning/itching feeling that comes with being in the sun a bit too long. Moisturizes the skin so it heals so nicely. My mom and I both burned on the same day. I used this for a few days after the burn and she didn't. My skin looked and felt so much better. Her skin peeled and peeled so much worse. I think it was because of this wonderful, soothing product! I never go on a beach vacation without a bottle of this stuff!" —Amazon Customer
