Alden thanks for this list. SO helpful as always. Been looking for this list my whole life really, and need to change up my skin care routine include SPF. Question — could you share the exact product name of the COOLA tinted moisturizer with SPF you use? I’m on the website and it looks like it’s only SPF 30. I have fair easy to burn skin so I’m wondering if I should go with their Face sunscreen (SPF 50)….? Maybe SPF 30 is sufficient for regular days not spent at the beach? I love the idea of a light foundation with SPF…
It’s the Rosiliance tinted moisturizer! I wear it every day. For outdoor days I put on a face sunscreen. Usually La Roche Posay I’ve brought back in bulk from Europe lol. But I think Coola’s would work well too! It’s sold in Europe as well, which is a great sign.
For my face, I use Kosas DreamBeam for tinted and Dr Dennis Gross for untinted. I think they’re both great, especially for mineral sunscreens
When it comes to body, I struggle with mineral sunscreen since they tend to not spread well. Alden, curious what you use in terms of nontoxic chemical sunscreens for body?
Whenever a friend goes to Europe, I ask them to bring me back some European sunscreen. Barring that, I buy the American version of French sunscreens. Not quite as good because of weird FDA regulations, but close: La Roche Posay is my favorite.
I like Kinfield! Also SunTegrity's self-tanner is great.

I totally agree about mineral sunscreen. I hate it! And it doesn't seem to work very well. Wrote about it here: https://ecocult.com/im-giving-non-toxic-sunscreen/
