Summer is here! âď¸ Naturally, this brings up the question “which sunscreen should I pick?”
Paying attention to the ingredients is key. In fact, some frequently-used ingredients may be harmful not only to your health, but also to the environment, and more specifically, aquatic life.

What about the Lush sunscreens how do they compare
However Hreen People has apparently now UVA protection. It has failed the Which testin
Thank you for this is a great to know. I scanned mind and was horrified when they were all bad. I am now better informed and will look out for these.
Loved the first one
have fake tanning creams been assessed?
Thank you
I think there should be a distinction made here, between chemical sunscreens which most of these are and which contain dangerous chemicals (benzine for example) and mineral sunscreens. On this list I would consider only Shade to be safe due to it being a mineral/barrier sunscreen
Thank you!
Can I buy these from your website?
La RosĂŠe is also excellent and is SPF 50. They have the sun cream for both babies and adults.
Are any of them vegan?
Green people seem to have a range of vegan creams.
Shade is definitely vegan
Thank you for including creams with spf lower than 50 đđź
This is an excellent list. I need very high protection and very safe sunscreen. Many thanks for this.
Thank you sooooo much
Most of the sunscreens you recommended arenât available in shops in the UK, at least none that I have seen.
Shade is available as is Organic Children, Badger and Nivea.
You should have included Eau Solaire Sun from SVR which rates 100/100 and itâs also great for kids! Thanks you Yuka for making me find the best suncream ever! đ
I just scanned my SVR spray at 83. You made me panic that youâd found something bad in it. Keep up the good work.
I am so addicted to this app and have told so many friends
The sunscreen information is pure gold
great app has helped me out loads while out shopping
This app deserves 5 stars and has really changed the way I shop! Thank you
are all of these sunscreens animal friendly? In other words I’m assuming none of them are made by companies that test on animals?
Thank you , Yuka is the best ,i have changed so much products that i was using xđ
I really like this app it really has changed the way I shop! Thank you
Excellent
This is still the ONLY app I have paid/subscribed too. Thank you for helping me to make better choices
Love these posts and app changes what I normally buy thankyou
Love these posts thank you
I just love this App
Itâs shocking what ingredients are in most products , thank you for making us aware x
Just awaiting delivery of number 1 on this list from Boots.
Due to chemo, skin is ultra sensitive and I got caught with a red face earlier this week.
Thank you for making it clear with safe ingredients
I am glad I joined Yuka!
This is a great post I recently been looking at suncream for my baby that was much better now I don’t need fo hunting and use this guide. Brilliant t.u
Iâm very surprised that Tropic Sun Care range is not featured in the top 10 because it should be. Itâs safe to use on all the family, certified by Protect Land & Sea and contains no toxic chemicals. Made fresh in the UK.
Than you so
Much I have been looking for sunscreens that are healthier
Very helpful, thanks.
Thankyou for the advice on sunscreens đđť
This is very helpful I am going on holiday and as a person of colour this really helps and even us also need protection from the sun.
I use the caudate itâs very good in fact all there products are
I wish yukka would also include if know if products are cruelty free or not , i used yuka to find my sunscreen which happens to be one above but i have no i dea if its cruelty free, leaping bunny app doesn’t work in Britain i can only use peta and uts not great
Great information
Thank you
I’m really surprised Tropic Skincare isn’t there, it’s the only brand that protects our skin well (including previous skin cancer that needs the most comprehensive protection) and we can use with eczema and dermatitis.
Me too – Tropic’s ‘Sun Day’ scores 100/100!
Iâm surprised Tropic Sunscreen isnât listed either, as cruelty free, not harmful to the environment and natural.
Great info. Thanks.
sorry but your number one contains very high levels of Benzines: https://www.uhhospitals.org/blog/articles/2023/02/many-common-beauty-products-contain-dangerous-chemicals
Hi,
I have noticed that some products that you classified as excellent last year, the are no good this year. No happy about this.
Thank you
Excellent review at the right time just when the general opinion says most sun screens are useless. Thank you.
Thanks â¤ď¸
Thanks for compiling this list, and even thought environmentally friendly, it is not cruelty free. Half of the brands on this list allow its products to be tested on animals.
I would urge people not to buy products from:
Caudalie
Eucerin
Avene
Nivea (same owners as Eucerin)
La Roche Posay (L’Oreal)
Exactly! Here we have Yuka actually promoting cruelty to animals.
Great list, thanks.
Any with lower SPF 15, 20 ??
Honestly, guys! You are the best ! Great app. Really Really appreciate your work! Happy to know you
This is great to see. Are any of them long lasting?
I am purchasing kids sunscreen from now on! It makes you wonder why they can’t just make the ‘adults’ sunscreen in the same way
That list is very helpful,
I spent 20 mins in boots the other day trying to find a suitable sunscreen, all failing on my yuka app.
Finally found Avène.
The top sunscreens you recommended last year now have bad ratings, let see how these ones change..
Thanks brilliant information
But can you buy any of these in the UK?
