How We Made Our Decisions

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers in the U.S., and as many as one million people are diagnosed with it every year. Sunscreens and other sun protection products can help prevent skin cancer, but some products don't protect you as well as they should. Choose one of the mineral sunscreen lotions or clothing items below for effective sun protection. All the sunscreens listed on our Product Comparisons page use either titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or a combination of both. None contain chemical sunscreens. These sunscreens also do not contain any of the ingredients on the Green Guide's Dirty Dozen list, many of which are commonly found in sunscreens, such as parabens.
