What exactly is a “clean” beauty product, you ask? Clean beauty products are made without ingredients that could potentially harm the human using them. When it comes to something we apply directly to our skin, toxic chemicals are one thing we can do without. These are the top 5 best clean sunscreens for summer, in my mindful opinion. 

Yes we know, most mineral sunscreen, or at least old ones full of zinc and titanium dioxide leave a white cast, prove difficult to rub in, and/or seem to suffocate skin. Luckily though, I have found these five clean sunscreens and are happy to pass along the secrets.
