Best Mineral Sunscreen for Body (Non-Toxic Brands)


Badger Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

EWG Rating: 1

Badger Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is the overall best mineral sunscreen for body.

This is my go-to mineral body sunscreen, as it checks most of my boxes and leaves no white cast.

  • Most affordable
  • 5 simple, organic, non-irritating ingredients
  • zinc-oxide based
  • little to no white cast (tested on my type IV skin)
  • reef-friendly
  • fragrance-free
  • cruelty-free
  • NOT Vegan Friendly

Babo Botanicals Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 30

EWG Rating: Verified

Babo Botanicals Clear Zinc Sunscreen is a close second, and it might be your favorite depending on your sunscreen needs.

Unlike Badger, this sunscreen is vegan-friendly. However, there are more botanical ingredients that may irritate sensitive skin and trigger eczema.

  • affordable
  • vegan-friendly and cruelty-free
  • reef-safe
  • zinc-oxide based
  • fragrance-free
  • made with skin-soothing botanical ingredinets, but these could irritate sensitive skin

Solara Suncare Clean Freak Sunscreen SPF 30, Unscented

Solara Suncare Clean Freak Nutrient Boosted Daily Sunscreen SPF 30 is great mineral body sunscreen if you are looking for sunscreen with maximum hydration!

  • formulated with adaptogens and botanicals that hydrate, defend, and heal skin after sun exposure
  • cruelty-free and vegan
  • reef safe
  • zinc-oxide based
  • botanical blend may irritate sensitive skin

Attitude Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, Unscented

EWG Rating: 1

Attitude Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a relatively new product, and it’s a great option for anybody with sensitive skin!

  • little to no ingredients that would irritate sensitive skin
  • vegan and cruelty-free
  • reef safe
  • zinc-oxide based

With so many sunscreen products to choose from — and with tricky marketing tactics — it can be hard to find a sunscreen that is safe and effective.

As a Floridian, I use sunscreen almost daily, so I need one that is truly fragrance free, non toxic, and does not leave a white cast on my olive skin. I also have very sensitive, eczema-prone skin, so I try to use products with minimal ingredients whenever possible.

The best mineral body sunscreen lotions on this list meet and are ranked by these requirements:

  • Non-Toxic: EWG verified, or rated a 1–2 by the EWG
  • Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB mineral sunscreen: zinc-oxide based with no titanium dioxide
  • Suitable for Sensitive Skin: minimal ingredients and noted when botanical ingredients are used
  • Little to No White Cast on the ones I’ve tested
  • Fragrance Free
  • Affordable
