Since moving to Los Angeles about 12 years ago, I've become more obsessed with protecting my skin from harmful sun rays to maintain an ageless glow. After realizing how many toxic sunscreens I’ve been using over the years, I decided to take a deep dive and research cleaner formulations to find out what are truly the best ones. My latest favorite SPF products have a great texture, provide excellent protection, and never leave a scary white cast on the skin which many sunscreens tend to do.
Proper sun protection is an important part of any skincare routine, especially if you want to maintain the health and texture of your skin. Since the skin is our largest organ, we must protect it by using safe sunscreens for us and for what may live in the ocean. Toxic chemicals can be found in most sunscreens including the most popular brands like Neutrogena, Hawaiian Tropic, Coppertone, Banana Boat, Sun Bum, and more. Regular exposure to these can lead to all kinds of immune system illnesses, hormone/reproductive disorders, and even cancer! Please keep reading to explore my tried-and-true #glowgirlcertified SPF picks that will keep your skin glowing and well-protected all summer long!

TOP 12 GLOW GIRL CERTIFIED CLEAN SUNSCREENS FOR FACE AND BODY
*All products have a Think Dirty (TD) App (0-10, lower rating, cleaner product) or a Yuka App (x/100, higher rating, cleaner product) rating. Full disclosure...there have been some disparities between the ratings on toxic detection apps like Think Dirty, Yuka, and EWG, so these are all clean across the board.
