How to choose: Fragrance-Free Sunscreens
Fragrance-free and unscented are different claims. We favor formulas explicitly described as fragrance-free for this page, rather than assuming that a mild smell proves anything. Choose a facial texture for everyday wear or a labeled water-resistant lotion for outdoor activity. If you already know an ingredient causes a reaction, check the full current label rather than relying on the front of the bottle.

How we selected these products
First, we compared brand descriptions, ingredient lists and label directions for these exact formulas. Then we selected products that offer useful differences for this topic. We have not personally tested them. Also, the list reflects our editorial choices, rather than Amazon sales or laboratory results. Because routines differ, we explain both strengths and limits.
Shopping on Amazon US
These links lead to Amazon.com in the United States. First, check the seller and exact product version. Then compare the formula, shade, pack size, delivery and current price. Versions and stock can change. Also, a Find on Amazon link opens a product search. Choose the matching listing there. We omit prices, discounts and customer ratings that we cannot verify.
Using sunscreen well
Choose broad-spectrum protection. Then follow the label for the amount to apply and spread it evenly. Outdoors, reapply at least every two hours. Also follow the label after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Sunscreen is one part of protection, so use shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses too. For babies under six months, first ask a health professional.
