Sun protection

Daily sun protection limits early signs of aging, helps keep new dark spots from forming, and lowers the risk of skin cancer.

Ingredients that help

  • Mineral filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
  • Chemical filters, such as avobenzone and octocrylene, are also widely used

What dermatologists recommend

  • Wear a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every day.
  • Reapply about every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating.
  • Use enough: about a shot glass for your body, and at least a teaspoon for your face.
  • Seek shade, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Chemical sunscreen filter with limited pregnancy data: Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. Not known to harm a pregnancy but not well studied, and absorbed into the bloodstream in FDA studies; mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) stay on the skin and are a lower-absorption choice (MotherToBaby, Matta et al. 2020).

Ingredients (31)

Aqua (Water), Dimethicone, Octocrylene, Alcohol Denat, Diisopropyl Adipate, Polysilicone-15, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Arginine, Propanediol, Silica, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Caprylyl Glycol, Parfum (Fragrance), Pentylene Glycol, Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate, Polysilicone-11, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Decyl Glucoside, Actinidia Arguta Fruit Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Leaf Cell Culture Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract

Sensitive skin: fragrance, alcohol denat. Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
  • alcohol denat.: Denatured alcohol, which helps products feel light and dry fast but can dry out or sting dry and sensitive skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and aren't flagged.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.
