Why Choose an Oil-Free Sunscreen?

Oil-free sunscreens provide the protection you need from UVA and UVB rays when you are outside without making your skin oily or greasy. Often, manufacturers add natural oils to sunscreens to give them a smoother texture and provide hydration. While this is beneficial for individuals with very dry skin, it can cause acne when applied to oily skin. Using sunscreens that are labelled "oil-free" or "non-comedogenic" are the best for people who want to avoid oily sunscreens.

Oil-free sunscreens are quite popular for people with all skin types because they tend to absorb quickly into the skin and don’t make the skin feel sticky or greasy and still provide appropriate sun protection.
