Physical sunscreens
Alba Botanica Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 contains no added fragrance and is generally less expensive than other nanoparticle-free physical sunscreen lotions we considered, but most of our testers did not like it due to its difficulty to rub in and sticky skin feel.

The All Good Mineral Sport Sunscreen SPF 30 contains less non-nano zinc oxide than the Thrive formula we recommend, and it leaves more of a white cast.
Testers disliked the artificial, syrupy scent of Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen SPF 50, which left a whitish cast on our skin.
We found that Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 took significantly longer to rub in compared with most other physical sunscreens we&#;ve tried, and it consistently left a white cast. Aveeno&#;s Protect + Soothe Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 and Kids Continuous Protection Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 offer the best values among physical sunscreen sticks we&#;ve considered. (Even so, the former regularly costs just north of $9 per ounce.) These Aveeno sticks are larger than the Blue Lizard and Thinksport sticks&#;more like the size of a stick of deodorant&#;yet still impractical for full-body coverage.
Babo Botanicals Baby Skin Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, a sunscreen lotion with non-nano zinc oxide as the lone active ingredient (and with butyloctyl salicylate as a possible SPF booster), feels and smells good. But it&#;s currently nearly $6 an ounce&#;significantly pricier than our picks.
Badger Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a reef-friendly, unscented formula that looks and feels nice on skin but is rated water resistant for only 40 minutes.
Banana Boat Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, Banana Boat Kids Mineral SPF 50+, CVS Health Baby Sun Lotion SPF 50, and Equate Kids SPF 50 all contain less of the active ingredients (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) than other physical sunscreens we recommend. However, they are well priced and, in general, highly rated by customers. On a per-ounce basis, the Equate Kids is the least expensive sunscreen containing only mineral active ingredients we&#;ve ever tried&#;just 61¢ an ounce. However it contains only 3.1% titanium dioxide and 4% zinc oxide by volume (whereas our pick from Blue Lizard, which is also labeled SPF 50, contains 10% zinc oxide and 8% titanium dioxide). When we shared both brand-concealed ingredients lists of both formulas with cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos, she posited that an SPF booster in the Equate formula, butyloctyl salicylate, may have contributed to the total SPF. (Banana Boat Baby and CVS Health Baby also contain butyloctyl salicylate.)
The separated, watery consistency of Bare Republic Mineral Body Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 made it difficult to use. It, too, contains butyloctyl salicylate.
Many of our testers found Coppertone Pure & Simple Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, a physical sunscreen that contains the SPF booster butyloctyl salicylate, to be goopy. While its zinc oxide percentage is among the highest of the sunscreens we tested (over 24%), most testers found that the runny formula made complete absorption nearly impossible.
Test panelists rated the fragrance-free Eucerin Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 (active ingredient: 24% zinc oxide) highly. It costs roughly 40% more per ounce than our pick from Blue Lizard, though, and contains butyloctyl salicylate.
Of the physical sunscreens we&#;ve tested, Goddess Garden Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 was by far the most polarizing. Testers either absolutely loved or positively hated the way it felt as well as its strong, cinnamon-like smell (one tester said it reminded them of Big Red chewing gum).
Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Skin Nourishing Milk SPF 50 is a nice-feeling, near-odorless, physical sunscreen that comes in a convenient pump bottle. But it&#;s available only in a 3.4-ounce quantity, and it&#;s more expensive than the Blue Lizard sunscreen we recommend. Some people may find it worth the extra cost.
We liked Hello Bello Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 for its price and skin feel; it&#;s similar to our pick from Blue Lizard and usually costs a bit less. But it&#;s frequently out of stock or difficult to find (either at Walmart or on the company&#;s website&#;the only two places it is sold), and several of our testers actively disliked this sunscreen&#;s scent. The Hello Bello formula contains the SPF-boosting inactive ingredient butyloctyl salicylate.
Kōkua Sun Care Hawaiian Natural Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50, which contains the same concentration (25%) of active ingredient non-nano zinc oxide as our reef-safe pick from Thrive, looks and feels as nice on skin. But it costs twice as much.
Somewhat confusingly, the Supergoop Play SPF 50 sunscreen stick is a mineral formula. (Another Supergoop Play formula we recommend is a chemical sunscreen lotion.) We found it a bit more difficult to spread and took longer to dry down on the skin when compared with a less-expensive stick sunscreen from Blue Lizard.
Test panelists appreciated the lack of added fragrance in Vanicream Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, a non-nano physical sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin that is beloved by people with eczema, rosacea, and related conditions that sunscreens can aggravate. But this formula costs much more per ounce than the sensitive formula from Eucerin we like.
Chemical sunscreens
Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Body Lotion SPF 60 felt watery and difficult to rub in, with many panelists noticing a white cast after application.
Most panelists disliked the sweet scent of Banana Boat Sun Comfort Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, another chemical sunscreen lotion.
The deodorant-stick-size Banana Boat Ultra Sport Sun Stick SPF 50 is among the least expensive and most user-friendly sunscreen sticks we&#;ve tried, but it is still difficult to use and apply anywhere other than small swaths of skin.
Neither Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 nor Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 ranked as well as our chemical picks in terms of translucence, skin feel, and ease of application.

Coppertone WaterBabies Lotion SPF 50, a chemical sunscreen, is easy to apply and wear, but the flowery scent of this formula isn&#;t for everyone.
Coppertone Ultra Guard Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70 was a beloved pick for years until it was discontinued.
We found that Fruit of the Earth Block Up Sport 50 rubbed in easily, but not as easily as our other chemical-sunscreen picks.
Hawaiian Tropic AntiOxidant+ Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, a chemical formula, felt nice on skin, but testers found its traditional sunscreen smell to be overly strong.
Early on in our testing, we eliminated one chemical sunscreen lotion, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen Weightless Face SPF 30, because of its bottle. With one drop on the floor, the pump broke, making it difficult to use.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 is a much-revered chemical sunscreen lotion. Per ounce, it tends to cost more than 10 times as much as our picks. In a practical sense, each hour spent wearing this formula costs a few dollars.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 45 comes in a bottle that&#;s small enough to toss in a purse, but despite the marketing, the feel was not significantly drier than that of other sunscreens we tried.
Combination sunscreens
CVS Health Clear Zinc Broad Spectrum Sun Lotion SPF 50 is a fine choice for sunscreen but we found that it does not appear colorless on all skin tones.
Coppertone Pure & Simple Baby SPF 50 felt thick and took a while to fully absorb into our skin.
Panelists generally liked EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50, rating its feel and appearance highly. But at over $7 an ounce, it&#;s expensive if applied often enough to be effective.
