The Only Sunscreens You Need
Everybody has a skincare routine nowadays. Everyone’s desks and vanities are littered with product upon product of serums and creams meant to make us age in reverse or glow like the sun. In the constant noise and hurricane of social media promotion and online pop up ads, however, how can you trust what will actually be the healthiest choice for your skin and what is just a bucket of glitter. Here are some examples of brands that carry vegan, cruelty free and overall sustainable sunscreen options to add into your skincare routine.
Pacifica Beauty is a 100% vegan and cruelty free beauty brand offering skincare, makeup and haircare at very reasonable prices. Their products are made with eco-friendly and biodegradable materials like recyclable glass and packaging. Their suncare and sunscreen products are made with organic ingredients and minerals and are offered in different application options including sprays or lotions. They also offer skincare products to be applied after sun exposure to repair and revitalize potentially damaged skin, and body oils to moisturize and provide a healthy glow perfect for the summer. Try these two options below the next time you are ready to hit the beach or the pool without burning up.
Kind Tint SPF Tinted Serum
Babo Botanicals is another vegan and cruelty free wellness brand that offers a wide variety of suncare, haircare, infant and child care and bath and body products with the mission of bringing together nature and human self-care. They use recycled papers and plastics in their packaging and strive to reduce their water consumption by partnering with local vertical farms. Their suncare options come in lotions, sprays, sticks and balms and there are different products offered for babies as well as adults. Try their after sun aloe gels in addition to some of their sunscreens to complete your suncare regimen.
Super Shield Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen was a new brand I discovered doing this research that offers an impressive variety of 100% vegan, cruelty free and highly eco-friendly suncare products. Everything they make is known as “reef friendly” which means there are no oxybenzone and octinoxate included in the products. These products are mineral-based and they rely on post-consumer recycled plastics in their packaging. They offer lotions, sticks, sprays and lip balms for children and babies as well as adults, and carry products for suncare and post-sun care to provide a thorough routine. Look into some of their options for the remainder of this summer to maximize your wellness and keep the environment in mind.
