EWG Best Sunscreens for 2023 That Can Be Bought on Amazon

Which Top Environmental Working Group Sunscreens Can Be Bought on Amazon?

The EWG publishes a list of their top rated sunscreens (score of 1 out of 10; 1 being the best, and 10 being the worst) which they consider to be the least likely to cause health problems (least likely to cause cancer or reproductive harm), and least likely to cause environmental damage. Generally the top picks have zinc oxide and sometimes titanium oxide as their active ingredients, as those are the safest broad spectrum sun blocking agents.

However, the EWG’s links are often outdated and broken, and it’s a time intensive task to find which of their recommendations are actually available on Amazon for purchase. Sometimes Amazon will have a similar product from the same manufacture, but it’s not the exact same one examined by the EWG, and thus it’s not know how it would be rated. I’ve gone through their list of products with a score of 1, i.e. their top rated, non-toxic, safest products, and found the ones actually on Amazon to be purchased. I’ll post the first 10 products below to save you some research time.

Similar to this sunscreen list above, I also have a top ten list of EWG best facial sunscreens. Most of those are in the 2 out of 10 rating (2nd safest) since they are using ingredients that don’t create the white cast zinc shadow.
