I am on the hunt for the perfect sunscreen! I've done a little bit of research and found thata there are all sorts, from organic to cosmetically elegant ones.
For now, here is the list recommended by the US' Skin Cancer Foundation.
It's a mixed bag of affordable to high end, with mostly American an European brands. I don't know how updated the list is, but some of these I know have been discontinued or upgraded.
I also know that Asian brands, particularly the Japanese ones, are more advanced in their formulation for the reason that their FDA standards on sunscreens are more rigorous than the United States. Asian countries value pale skin so their quality for sunscreens and market competitions are sky high.
Still, it's hard to discount this list. So without further ado, below are the brands, products, and APF ratings of the sunscreens with the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Approval.
