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.

- essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken 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.
- niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.
These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash.

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.
