Swimmers rejoice — this sport sunscreen hits all of the check marks you could want in an SPF for water sports. For starters, the reef-safe sunscreen is great for your skin and the environment — it’s free of chemicals like oxybenzone and avobenzone, and instead, it contains biodegradable and non-toxic ingredients that aren’t harmful to coral reefs and marine life. Plus, it comes in an eco-friendly tube that’s free of controversial materials like BPA, vinyl, and phthalates.
Thousands of Amazon reviewers say it doesn’t leave behind a dreaded white cast, nor does it clog their pores. Most importantly, it withstands a vigorous swim sesh. “My husband was able to spend a lot of time in the water and then reapplied when he got out. A couple of times, he even forgot to reapply, and still, no sunburn at all,” says one 5-star review. “I have been using this while surfing daily in Mexico, and it has saved my skin — no burns in sight,” adds another 5-star Amazon review.
Of course, you can rock this sport sunscreen even if you’re not into water sports. Several Amazon reviewers say it’s excellent for cycling and running because the mineral sunscreen doesn’t run into your eyes and has a non-oily feel. “I’m training for a marathon and needed a sweatproof sunscreen that would last for 2+ hours on those long summer runs. This is the only product I’ve found so far that works,” adds one 5-star review.
