The recommendations span diverse formats, from traditional lotions to brush-on powders and tinted moisturizers, reflecting a shift toward multi-functional sun protection. Several experts stressed that sunscreen remains necessary even for indoor days or short car trips, since UV rays penetrate windows. Products highlighted include hyaluronic acid-infused formulas for hydration, mineral-based options using non-nano zinc oxide, and reef-safe formulations that avoid harming coral ecosystems.
Celebrity associations appear throughout the picks, with Andy Cohen favoring EltaMD while Drew Barrymore and Laura Dern use Colorescience's powder for makeup touch-ups. The selections also emphasize anti-aging benefits, with ingredients like peptides and coenzyme Q10 incorporated into SPF products
