The Best Sunscreen
07-11-2025

The best sunscreen is the one you’ll apply liberally and often, so it should be affordable but still feel and smell good on your skin. After extensive brand-concealed panel testing, we recommend the physical sunscreen Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ and the chemical sunscreen Banana Boat Light As Air Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, which best suit most preferences.
Everything we recommend

Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+
An easy-to-spread physical sunscreen
This physical sunscreen lotion absorbs easily and is free of added fragrance. Although it can feel greasy and leave behind a white cast, it’s less visible on skin than most physical sunscreens.
