There’s a lot to consider when you purchase a new sunscreen. What’s the formula? How high is the SPF? Will the ingredients make you break out? On top of this list of questions, however, is another very important factor: Chemicals. Chemical-free sunscreen may be a bit tougher to find, but considering the lengths we go to to use sunscreen and protect our skin from sun damage, we’d like to keep the chemicals from harming our skin in the process.
If you’ve been searching for a chemical-free sunscreen, we did the grunt work for you. Below are our picks for the best chemical-free sunscreens out there!
