The best natural SPFs

Share

Protecting your skin from the sun is extremely important, but when scouring the aisles at the pharmacy, it’s often hard to find a sunscreen that isn’t packed full of confusing chemicals you can’t even pronounce. If you like to take a more holistic approach to your sun care, fear not, we’ve found four natural SPF products that work just as well as many of the biggest brands.

Offering UV protection that doesn’t cast any white marks, this cream is packed with rosehip, evening primrose, aloe vera and orange flower extracts. Non-greasy and easily absorbed into the skin, it’s perfect if you’re looking for something you can pop into your bag and reapply throughout the day. An added bonus – it’s non-GMO, cruelty free and ethically made.

Its SPF cream will shield your face from damage caused by pollution and the sun thanks to its special ingredient Echinacea GreenEnvy™, which contains the highest known concentration of phytochemical cichoric acid – a natural antioxidant that helps promote an even skin tone.
