Sun Protective Hats

Long-sleeved shirts and pants are excellent options for UV protection as they pose no health risks. Generally, synthetic materials like polyester or rayon are more effective in UV protection, and darker colors are best for UV protection. 

Mineral-based sunscreen is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to chemical-based sunscreen. The ingredients titanium dioxide or zinc oxide create a physical barrier between the surface of your skin and UV rays. 

Hats are a great way to protect your face. Some hats offer protection for your ears and neck.

EWG Approved Sunscreens:

The EWG has published a list of approved sunscreens. Each sunscreen is given a rating and UVA/UVB balance score. This website is very helpful for finding safe sunscreens because it also breaks down each ingredient and lists any potential risks.
