Sunscreen for Adults

What sunscreen do you as an adult use? I was using a brand, but it gets a 7 on the EWG scale, so I'm looking for something that's rated better. I'm fair skinned, so I wear at minimum SPF 15, usually SPF30 though. Just looking for other brands/ideas on what to use.

Same.
Target brand is usually cheapest. I use spray and you definitely go through spray quicker so I go through a ton

Re: Sunscreen for Adults

If you want something that scores best on EWG, try Badger. It works well, it's just thick. I don't mind it but my dh does lol.. so it's just a matter of preference.

Usually use the stuff for my kids too...esp poolside

But Aveeno makes a product that feels great and spf 30. I have to check rating, but it feels like moisturizer and I've been using it daily in my face. I just checked... it's a 3! I will buy more... I love it and use it often.

Re: Sunscreen for Adults

My dd1 has a reaction to everything, so I use the rest of the tubes that I buy for her and that we can't ultimately use. So right now I'm finishing up the babyganics and California baby.

I actually use the pump Babyganics on all of us. It is the perfect texture. CVS even sells it. EWG rates it a 1! My next favorite is Kiss My Face in the pump (not spray). It is rated a 3.

Re: Sunscreen for Adults

I use Alba Botanica on my kids and myself. It rates well and I like the way that it goes on.

Re: Sunscreen for Adults

We all usually use Coppertone Water Babies Pure & Simple. I think it rated pretty well on the EWG - 3 I think. It's not super expensive and goes on pretty easily. We tried Badger a couple of years ago and it was ok but so thick. DH didn't like it and it's hard enough to get sunscreen on little ones, so the smoother, the better.
