8 Best Zinc Oxide Sunscreens of 2022

Made with a mix of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sunscreen actives, Sun Bum’s formula won’t irritate even reactive skin. It earned a near-perfect score in GH Beauty Lab testing for not causing redness or irritation, plus doesn’t run into eyes or interfere with makeup. “Love how light and silky it is,” a tester noted. “It made my skin look healthy and soft.”

Although this mineral sunscreen from dermatologist-recommended brand MDSolarSciences contains a mixture of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it’s still a suggested alternative to chemical ingredients. It’s fragrance-free and silicone-based, and the formula goes on smooth, but it tends to separate when left in hot temps, so you’ll need to give it a good shake.
