    Type: chemical | SPF: 45 | Broad spectrum: yes | Active ingredients: hyaluronic acid, birch juice, allantoin | Tinted: no | Water resistant: no

    This sunscreen claimed our first-place spot because of its soothing formula that works for all skin types — it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, and lightweight enough to work for oily skin without getting too shiny. It has niacinamide and birch sap to calm irritated skin, along with broad-spectrum UV protection with an SPF 45 rating that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, making it the ideal addition to your summer skin care routine.

    I’ve been using it for over a year now and love that it has a non-greasy texture that quickly and easily blends into skin tones of all shades, and also layers well with makeup and other facial products. I even brought it with me on a vacation to Rio de Janeiro this past winter, and it held up on my oily, acne-prone skin throughout entire days spent at the beach and hiking in the jungle.
