vegan spf moisturizers

Most vegan face moisturizers with sun protection fall between SPF 30 and SPF 50. Many products are offered at SPF 30–32, and some formulations are available at SPF 45 or SPF 50.

Vegan face moisturizers use both chemical filters (for example, homosalate) and mineral filters such as zinc oxide. Some listings also include the percentage of zinc oxide used.

They come in lotion and cream formats as well as lighter gel-style face formulas—covering lotion, cream, and gel textures.

Both options are available. Some formulas are scented, while many are unscented or labeled ‘No Fragrance Added’—several listings explicitly note ‘Unscented.’

Water resistance varies by product. Some mineral formulas list water resistance; one specifically notes water resistance for up to 80 minutes, and other products simply carry a ‘Water-Resistant’ claim.

Several formulas are described as blending well under makeup and functioning like a primer. Many listings note they layer smoothly and are suitable for use under make-up.
