The Environmental Working Group (EWG)
recently released its annual ranking of the best sunscreen products in
different categories, including their favorite moisturizers with SPF.
The EWG prioritizes mineral sunscreen ingredients over chemical ones in
their annual ranking; so if that's important to you too, any of their
top picks would be a good choice for your everyday skincare routine.
Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst at the EWG, spoke to Health
about the group's process for ranking each product. "First, we determine
the estimated sun protection by looking at the active ingredients," she
says. Lunder explains that this helps them predict how well the formula
will protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can increase
your risk of skin cancer. The second step involves analyzing each
product’s inactive ingredients. Finally, the EWG rates each product on a
scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the best.
Here, seven moisturizers with SPF that the EWG gave a 1 ranking. For the full list, visit ewg.org.
