The 13 Best SPF Body Lotions for Head-to-Toe Sun Protection
Size: 6 fl oz
Key ingredients: cupuaçu butter, grapeseed oil, non-nano zinc oxide
How can a sunscreen be a “total package,” you ask? Well, Versed has the answer: loads of nourishment (cupuaçu butter and grapeseed oil) and sun protection. Rich antioxidants and butters enrich the skin with hydration and moisture that makes you forget what you’re wearing is actually SPF. “As a mineral sunscreen, this product contains zinc to provide SPF 30 protection, as well as moisturizing cupuaçu butter and soothing antioxidants from grapeseed oil,” says Dr. Brendan Camp.

A Target reviewer said: “I love this sunscreen! It is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide which has shown to be the least harmful to marine life as far as sunscreen ingredients go. So many sunscreens claim to be “reef safe” but all they really mean is “oxybenzone free” which is great and all, but misleading. Especially since almost all common sunscreen ingredients are not reef-safe (including most zinc if it is in nano form). All of the people leaving negative reviews dislike the feel and the white cast of this sunscreen, but it is AMAZING as far as nan-nano zinc sunscreens go. The white cast goes away if you give it time to soak in a little (I am white, so this is most likely a bigger problem for darker skin folks), and it is not as greasy or gross as many over-the-counter chemical or physical sunscreens go. Give this a try if you’re concerned for how sunscreen ingredients affect marine life!”
