DELIAL SPF 30 Protective Milk 200 ml

Product Information

Oxybenzoneis another ingredient to avoid as it is easily absorbed by the skin and enters the bloodstream, and it can disrupt your hormones as well as causing terrible harm to the environment. For environmentally conscious sun-seekers, this sun cream by Forever Living is the one to go for. It won the best sunscreen category in the Green Parent Beauty Awards in 2021, and it's vegan and cruelty-free. The inclusion of aloe vera and vitamin E is extra moisturising and soothes the skin, and the formula promises to be water resistant for 80 minutes. There are a number of criteria to consider when choosing the best sun cream for your skin, and these include sun protection factor (SPF), UV protection, water resistance and sun cream type - as well as ease of application and how it feels on your skin. People tend to burn their nose more than any other body part, so don’t forget to apply sun cream there, as well as to the tops of your ears and the delicate skin on your lips

This exceptionally pure, 100% natural, eco-friendly sunscreen was the first sun lotion to be accredited as both Fairtrade and organic. What’s more, it’s also cruelty-free and certified vegan, as well as being plastic-free. Dermatologist and cosmetologistDr Eva Melegh told us: "If you are prone to sensitive skin or you are applying suncream to children’s skin then you it’s best to opt for mineral sun creams as opposed to chemical filter ones, as they have less chance of causing a skin reaction to sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin a very helpful product is Kalme Undercoatwhich is designed to wear under sun creams to reduce the risk of skin reactions."While SPF protects against UVB rays, the stars on the front of a bottle indicate the level of protection against UVA rays. Green People’s sunscreen is suitable for the most sensitive of skin, even babies, and rubs in really well. It’s not vegan, however, due to the inclusion of beeswax.

Weleda’s SPF 30 Sunscreen offers waterproof UVA and UVB sun protection with natural non-nano mineral UV filters. This high-factor natural and vegan sunscreen does leave a white sheen on your skin. However, this is due to its non-nano mineral UV filters, which reflect harmful UV rays. In terms of skincare, organic virgin coconut oil and shea butter protect the moisture level in young skins. He added, "Most people apply sunscreen too thinly and that means protection is reduced. An adult should be applying around six to eight teaspoons to cover their body.

Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive Advanced range is especially designed for fair, sensitive and sun-intolerant skin to offer protection against UVA, UVB and long UVA rays.

Ah, fortunately, we have more choice than simply Green People Nano particle or sunburn – Odylique suncream which is a very effective and doesn’t contain Nano, or any harmful chemicals at all. The whole point of using healthier suncreams is that they don’t have a risk of negative effects on the environment or our health in the long term. Conventional suncreams found in Boots are still FDA-level approved. ‘Green washing’ is big business and people paying more for a product that still carries risk is just bonkers. There are multiple research papers showing the negative effects of nano from cancer to immune disruption. Do we wait until nano particles have been ‘proven’ either way by which time they are embedded in the environment to such a degree it is impossible to retrieve before people choose not to buy them? It takes over 10 years to change chemical regulations to stop their widespread use, even after being ‘proven’ has happened. And what does proven mean? It requires the experiment to replicable and funnily enough, with complex systems such as human beings and the environment, its hard to replicate time and time again – especially if the experiments are conducted in vitro or using animals other than humans. Some people still believe the human affects of climate change isn’t proven….should we wait for that to be proven as well before we change our habits and protect the planet????? Have you found any other eco-friendly sunscreen brands you love? Do let me know in the comments! I’m especially looking for recommendations on plastic-free sunscreen. I’ve only tried a couple of brands, and always happy to hear about your favourites.

If you’re planning on snorkelling or diving in coral reefs or other environmentally sensitive ecosystems, then it’s a great choice. As it’s completely biodegradable it won’t cause any harm to the reefs or waterways. And for the final thumbs-up, it’s not tested on animals. However, do bear in mind that it’s not vegan as it contains beeswax. Water resistance: For a sun cream to be water resistant, it must have undergone testing to show that it stays effective for at least 40 minutes in the water. After this time, you will need to reapply.
