It’s no secret that sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin—but what we often don’t realize is that conventional sunscreens can also be full of chemicals. So while we may be saving our skin, harmful ingredients may be getting absorbed into our bodies.
This summer, when you’re heading out to one of the best beaches in Massachusetts or a public pool around the city, throw one of these all-natural sunscreens into your bag. Best part? They’re the top-rated ones on Amazon, and they’re all under $30.

2. Miami Gorgeous SPF 30 Sunscreen Stick
For those who prefer stick sunscreens to creams, this is a great organic option. It’s sweat and water resistant and is safe for children and babies over six months. This stick is best as an option for face sunscreen, not body.
