Yes, you read correctly! It’s here! 

All of the following are sunscreens that are:

Made for the face

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!

I also went ahead and categorized these sunscreens into price ranges.

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.
