You want quality sunscreen, but don\u2019t want to spend a fortune on something that doesn\u2019t end up working \u2013 we hear ya! We\u2019ve got you covered with the top-performing sunscreens that have been thoroughly vetted by our Hip team & readers.<\/p>\n

\n

Important reminder:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always use your sunscreens as directed to help prevent premature skin aging and risk of skin cancers. According to SkinCancer.org<\/a>, you should apply sunscreen every day, apply 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n

Hip Tip:<\/strong> SPF Sunscreen is eligible for reimbursement with FSA, HSA, and HRA accounts. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF15+ protection (and above) is FSA and HSA eligible! And to make shopping for these products even easier, Amazon<\/a> now has an FSA & HSA Store!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Without further ado, choose the sunscreen that works for you!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

1. Blue Lizard is a team & reader fave that always tops our list!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voted #1 by the majority of our FB readers! Here are just a few of their reviews\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

As someone who has extremely sensitive skin and burns easily, I love Blue Lizard. It works great and without any harmful chemicals. \ud83e\udd8e I wish I would have discovered it when I was younger.<\/em> \u2013 Hip Reader, Misty D. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Blue Lizard and will never change. It works for my son who is sensitive to everything and it\u2019s never failed us. <\/em>\u2013 Hip Reader, Shelley P.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

2. If you want a tried & true sunscreen that won\u2019t break the bank, grab some Equate on your next Walmart run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bottle<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Not greasy at all, it spreads easily after applying it. The tube is a nice size, the fact that it is SPF 100 is my favorite part because it protects my skin better against the sun and heat and basically every kind of weather. The tube is easy to squeeze and a good amount of sunscreen lotion comes out of the tube once squeezed. Nice colors on the tube, directions on how to use the lotion on the back of the tube.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Equate. Years ago it was listed in Consumer Reports as a top pick. I would agree. We use both the lotion and sprays. <\/em>\u2013 Hip Reader, Jennifer C.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

See why Collin & other team members LOVE Walmart+<\/a> more than Prime! \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

3 . This best spray sunscreen has become so popular, it\u2019s now on Amazon!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hand<\/a><\/p>\n

As if we could love Trader Joe\u2019s even more. \ud83d\ude0d Their sunscreen provides UVA & UVB protection, contains skin-nourishing ingredients like aloe, vitamin E, and coconut oil, and it\u2019s water-resistant!<\/p>\n\n

4. Stay\u00a0all good<\/em> in the sun when you grab this toxic-free sunscreen (Psst! Clean expert, Sara, approves!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hand<\/a><\/p>\n

We love that this comes in a recyclable tin and a little bit goes a long way \u2013 one reviewer stated it lasted her 8 months with daily use. \ud83d\ude31 This sunscreen is completely odorless, lightweight, hydrating (but not greasy), water resistant for 80 minutes, and provides 50 SPF. More importantly, it\u2019s completely safe for your body and certified reef-safe!<\/p>\n

Make these 5 easy clean skincare<\/a> swaps while you\u2019re at it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

5. Readers & sunscreen expert, Paige, always go for Sun Bum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sun Bum is the best for the body. I use Super Goop for my face.<\/em> \u2013 Hip Reader, Timi H. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

6. Korean sunscreen is making a name for itself and this is Hip Sidekick, Angela\u2019s top pick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"korean<\/a><\/p>\n

And 30K+ reviewers agree with Angela\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

What an amazing product it is first of all it is not greasy at all then it blends beautifully and also has a great protection gives brightness to your face give such an amazing brightening effect give s dewy finish is good for dry to combination type specially the rice extract works good for your skin feels good gives glow absorbs nicely cast and care totally worth the hype!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

7. Sun protection is no joke. Treat your skin to luxury with Supergoop.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hand<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you try this super-powered sunscreen, you won\u2019t go back! It has makeup\u2013gripping power and goes on like a lightweight primer, plus it has shine control and leaves a velvety finish on the skin. It\u2019s also antioxidant-rich and helps filter blue light from your devices as well as UVA\/ UVB rays! It works well for the guys, even with beards, as it has a clear finish that feels like nothing!<\/p>\n

\n

My FAVVVV is the Mineral Matte Screen from Supergoop. I am horrifically picky about that \u201csunscreen smell\u201d most products have. This doesn\u2019t have that smell, which makes me 50x more likely to put it on. Plus, it has the same skin-smoothing effect as Benefit\u2019s pore-fessional primer (loooove that). This is my holy grail sunscreen, and all the things I love about it justify the price for me! <\/em>Note: (but I especially love it when it\u2019s on sale or I can get a \u201cbang for my buck\u201d when it\u2019s in a travel set)<\/em> \u2013 Hip Sidekick,<\/strong> Madison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Supergoop for my face and Blue Lizard for body and kids \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f sunscreen is a must in our household. <\/em>\u2013 Hip Reader, Michelle C.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Super Goop is the best! It\u2019s pricey but not chemical ridden, so you get what you pay for. <\/em>\u2013 Hip Reader, Christie L. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

8. Protect your beautiful skin shade with these sunscreens.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is my go-to absolute favorite daily face one (I try a bunch and always go back to it. Great natural glowy finish and works well under makeup)<\/em> \u2013 Monica<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

My go-to, I LOVE the glow it leaves<\/em>. \u2013 Monica<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Best. Summer. Decision. Ever. I went with the trial size as I was skeptical that this would provide any sun protection, but after using it 3-4 times outside at the park, pool, and more, I am hooked! And I haven\u2019t been sunburned yet. This is the PRETTIEST sunscreen that doesn\u2019t feel like sunscreen at all!<\/em> \u2013 Hip Sidekick, Chelsey<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

12. When it comes to kids sunscreen, you need gentle on skin but tough on sun protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pipette mineral sunscreen! Our favorite. So clean & blends sooo easily. It\u2019s baby sunblock but we all use it!<\/em>
I really like to watch the ingredients in our sunblock\u2026 why try to defend against skin cancer with cancer causing chemicals? <\/em>\u2013 Hip Reader, Jamie A. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

What is the best sunscreen?<\/p>\n

Not all sunscreen is created equal. The EWG<\/a> reports that only 1 in 4 products meets their strict sunscreen standards, so you may consider being a little bit more picky about yours.<\/p>\n

According to the National Foundation for Cancer Research<\/a>, a quality sunscreen should achieve the following:<\/p>\n
