Skin Care Jesus Approved 👍 Sunscreen Masterlist
Yes, you read correctly! It’s here!
All of the following are sunscreens that are:
Octinoxate + Oxybenzone free
At least SPF 30 and PA +++ or “Broad Spectrum” (those really concerned with UVA protection would do best to use sunscreens with the PA listed)
Minimal white cast (if any)
Organized by UV filters and skin type!

This is not an exhaustive list, as there are likely tons of sunscreens out there that I don’t know of that meet my standards. You may also find that you like a sunscreen from a category outside of your skin type. Feel free to experiment. I will be updating this list if I come across any new sunscreens that meet my criteria.
POC may want to stick with chemical-only formulas, to avoid white-cast.
Full disclosure: I have not personally used every sunscreen on this list. I compiled this list from ingredients lists and user reviews. I place an (*) before the one’s I’ve tried.
