With the summer sun just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to stock up on vegan sunscreens. Although sunscreen isn’t just for those summer months, it should be worn every day.
Dermatologists recommend using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every two hours. A major benefit of using vegan sunscreen is the ingredients are less likely to irritate your skin.
Many of these brands make their products sustainably and are reef-safe. To make a sunscreen reef-safe oxybenzone and octinoxate must be missing from their active ingredient list. Sunscreen shouldn’t be harmful to your skin or for the planet
