The sun is shining, and while we love its warmth, excessive exposure to UVA & UVB rays can be harmful to your skin. That’s why protecting yourself with a natural sunscreen is essential, not only to keep your skin healthy but also to be mindful of the planet. Unlike chemical sunscreens, natural alternatives are free from harmful ingredients that can damage marine life and contribute to ocean pollution. Just as we only have one skin to care for, we also have one planet to protect. We know that choosing the right sun protection can feel overwhelming, so we’ve done the work for you. In this article, we highlight the best natural sunscreens to help you make the right choices.
