The Best Sunscreen Products For All Skin Tones, As Chosen By Our Editors

“Founder Deepica Mutyala created this mineral SPF to leave no white cast on deeper skin tones. Instead of white, it has a yellow tint that disappears after you blend in. It's light, creamy, and blends seamlessly without pilling. I count it as an SPF holy grail.” — Faith Xue, beauty director, BDG

“I'm loving this vitamin C-spiked moisturizer, as its combination of vitamin C, squalane, and safflower oil works to brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of skin discoloration, while protecting, hydrating, and repairing the skin barrier. And the best part? It does so without leaving any white cast or greasy residue.” — Danielle Sinay, beauty + wellness writer

“This is the best face sunscreen for my oily skin. Its lightweight formula absorbs seamlessly and contans zinc oxide, Japanese wild rose, and a special complex made of rice, algae, and green tea to help reduce the appearance of pores while also providing broad-spectrum sun protection. It gives a matte finish so I don't look too shiny and it can actually double as a makeup primer, too.” — Audrey Noble, beauty writer

“Formulated with zinc oxide, niacinamide, antioxidants, jojoba esters, and rice bran extract, this nourishing sunscreen defends the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, environmental stressors, and pollution while simultaneously addressing hyperpigmentation. Its lightweight formula has been a godsend for my hybrid-oily-and-sensitive skin, as it works well under makeup (and on its own) without clogging my pores or leaving behind any residue.” — Danielle Sinay, beauty + wellness writer

“This tinted sunscreen foundation was literally love at first swipe, and immediately became my everyday go-to. It's light but effective, and looks super natural while delivering that summertime glow we all love. And, of course, because it's SPF 30, it's the perfect two-in-one that saves me time in the morning.” — Paris Giles, beauty writer

“I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: 2022 is the year of the scalp, meaning we no longer have an excuse to exclude our scalp from sun care. My absolute favorite form of SPF for the sensitive area is Supergoop’s part powder, which protects the scalp from the UV rays without weighing your hair down. As a bonus: It can even double as dry shampoo!” — Danielle Sinay, beauty + wellness writer

“Supermodel Winnie Harlow has nailed sexy sunscreen. Her brand’s Isle Glow Face Lotion offers a solid SPF 45 while delivering a pearlescent radiance that gives off the most gorgeous sheen. Besides being infused with antioxidants, the product — and everything else in the line — was formulated with all skin tones in mind. I find it to absorb like magic within a millisecond.” — Rachel Lapidos, senior beauty & lifestyle editor

“This SPF not only protects my skin from UV rays, but also contains antioxidants to protect my skin from pollution and HEV light (as in the light from my laptop and cellphone). I love that it's made with peptides to firm the skin, too — we love an overachieving SPF!” — Faith Xue, beauty director, BDG

“From its cool retro aesthetic to its lovely scent, Vacation just brings all the right vacay vibes. This provides SPF 30 protection and goes on super lightweight to blend seamlessly into the skin, regardless of your skin’s shade. Plus, it has nourishing ingredients like niacinamide and aloe vera to hydrate and soothe. It's coming with me on all my summer adventures.” — Audrey Noble, beauty writer

“Formulated with active levels of skin care ingredients such as niacinamide, allantoin, and aloe, this tint doesn’t just deliver the perfect dose of pigment, but improves skin texture, helping to soothe, soften, and hydrate your complexion, too. As of February 2022, it’s available in 30 shades, so you can find the perfect match.” — Danielle Sinay, beauty + wellness writer

“Yes, this SPF is pricey, but it's full of skin care ingredients that brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation in the skin every time you use it. I love the thick, paste-like formula that effortlessly melts into the skin and leaves a really pretty sheen behind. Every time I use this SPF, I get compliments on my skin — it's that good.” — Faith Xue, beauty director, BDG

“I’m already obsessed with Le Prunier’s Plum Beauty Oil, but was really excited to discover that its sunscreen is just as dreamy. Though it’s decadent — and packed with the brand’s signature antioxidant-rich plum extract for hydrating protection — it luxuriously melts into the skin. It offers mineral-based broad-spectrum coverage, all while becoming completely invisible upon application.” — Rachel Lapidos, senior beauty & lifestyle editor

“If you’re on the market for a no-frills sunscreen, this one gets an A-plus from me. It’s mineral-based, offers SPF 30 coverage, and contains a slew of moisturizing ingredients, including avocado oil and vitamin E. The white cream easily soaks into my skin without leaving any white residue afterwards, and it’s been tested for this on all skin tones. The unscented version is great for sensitive skin, but it’s also offered in a tropical coconut + pineapple scent.” — Rachel Lapidos, senior beauty & lifestyle editor
