We shouldn't be without sunscreen all year round, not just during the summer. And since this is something we're practically using everyday, it's important to try to find the best clean sunscreens. It's also important to note that 'natural sunscreens' should be as much chemical free as possible. According to dermatologist Adarsh Vijay Mudgil Via Allure, they should only contain the mineral ingredients zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide, which is why it's sometimes called a 'mineral sunscreen'.

So you should look for a mineral, not a chemical sunscreen, because mineral sunscreens are less toxic and cause less irritation, and so they're also good for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin because they use a non chemical shield to protect your skin.
Warning: Chemical sunscreens can be really dangerous because studies have shown that they could actually get absorbed in the bloodstream, which is extremely dangerous and they should be avoided completely if you're nursing or pregnant. They also harm coral reefs and marine life.

Here are some of the best clean, organic, mineral or natural sunscreens:
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Mineral Sunscreen
This is a good affordable option with the technology to protect the skin against UVA and UVB rays. It's also a dry-touch formula, so it's not oily and is gentle for those prone to breakouts. Unfortunately people with dark skin said that it leaves a white cast on their skin, so keep that in mind.

It has a lot of yummy natural ingredients like yellow passion fruit seed extract and rice starch to help protect the skin from free radical damage, irritation and pollution, as well as control shine and smooth pore appearance. However, people with dark skin also have the same concern as with the Neutrogena.
