Our Favorite American-Made Sunscreen Brands
July 4, 2022
Summer is officially in full swing and, if you’re anything like us, you’re making plans to spend time outside with your family and friends. Every year, we restock our supply of sunscreen so that we’re always ready for the next adventure. I’ve been on a search for American-made options and was surprised to find several great brands that will make restocking your cabinets a simple and stress-free process. In making this list, I focused on sunscreens made with high-quality, natural ingredients to ensure I was recommending the safest and most effective products. So without further ado, here are our favorites: 1. All Good All Good offers organic skincare products crafted with responsibly sourced natural ingredients. All Good is based in Morro Bay, California, and owns an organic farm in the area used to produce the herbs for each of their products. We recommend the SPF 30 Sport Mineral Sunscreen Lotion . 2. Sun Bum Sun Bum began making producsts in 2010 in Cocoa Beach, Florida in an effort to protect friends and family members from the sun. The company has grown significantly in the past 12 years, but is unwavering in their commitment to make great products for people who love to spend time in the sun. We are currently loving the Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Oil and Orginial Glow SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Lotion . 3. Raw Elements Raw Elements was created by ocean lifeguard, Brian Guadagno, who discovered the dangers of using popular chemical sunscreens. After searching for a safe and effective alternative, and discovering there wasn’t anything available to meet his needs, he set out to create his own. We recommend the Face + Body Tin SPF 30 . We love that you can toss the tin in your bag for easy access whenever you head outdoors. 4. Bare Republic Bare Republic makes safe, adventure-proof sunscreen so that you can enjoy the outdoors worry-free. They have a wide variety of options to keep everyone covered according to their preference. We recommend the Mineral SPF 30 Face Sunscreen Lotion for everyday protection with a non-greasy, smooth application and a sheer matte finish. 5. California Baby California Baby was born out of a mom’s desire to find a safe baby shampoo and has grown over 25 years into a collection of more than 80 pediatrician and dermatologist recommended hair and skin care products. All California Baby products are made in their own solar-powered, organic manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, California. We recommend starting with the (No Fragrance) Super Sensitive Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ Sunscreen. 6. Thinksport Thinksport was created out of a desire to make safe, functional, and sustainable products in response to the growing concern of harmful chemicals found in a variety of consumer products. Thinksport carries their original Thinksport SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen (Runners World Editor’s Choice Award winner) as well as their Thinksport Kids SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen and Thinkbaby SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen (Parenting Awards Winner). We love them all! 7. Babo Botanicals Founded by Kate Solomon in 2010, Babo Botanicals is a line of personal care products committed to using the safest, natural ingredients. If you prefer a spray sunscreen, the Sheer Zinc Continuous Spray Sunscreen SPF 30 is an excellent choice. 8. Coola Coola is committed to creating clean beauty products that feel as good as the ingredients they contain. Every Coola product is crafted in the USA with at least 70% organic ingredients. We love the variety of their offerings and are certain you’ll find the perfect suncare product for your needs. We recommend the best selling Classic Liplux Organic Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 30 and the Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 . 9. Waxhead Sun Defense Based in Amelia Island, Florida, Waxhead was developed by a mom determined to keep her family safe in the sun without relying on the toxic ingredients found in most sunscreens. To solve this problem, Waxhead set out to create the safest, most effective sunscreens available, each sustainably crafted in small batches in the USA. We recommend the Broad Spectrum Sport Sunscreen 30+ Stick , which is available in both a white and tinted version to suit your preference. We think the portability and easy application of this sunscreen stick make it an excellent option for families on the go. 10. SunBioLogic SunBioLogic is a family-owned business that produces safe, natural skin care products that are manufactured in the USA with high-quality organic ingredients and non-nano zinc oxide in a pharmaceutical-grade facility. We recommend trying their best-selling Raw Coconut SPF 30+ Organic Face and Body Sunscreen formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter.
