17 Best Spray Sunscreens 2022

Beauty products for sensitive skin are kind of like a minefield—you never know what’s going to set your skin off. This spray sunscreen is a pretty safe bet, though. It’s formulated with botanical ingredients, like chamomile and aloe.

THE REVIEW: “I have tried every spray-on sunscreen brand out there, however, I have very sensitive skin and would develop a minor rash,” writes one tester, adding, “Alba Botanica protects against sun damage, is easy to use, and does not cause any rashes.”

If your skin is hella reactive, this spray sunscreen is basically made for you. There’s no oxybenzone (or gluten, soy, dairy, or nuts) in this super-gentle formula, so it protects against those UVA/UVB rays without irritating your skin or causing irritation.

THE REVIEW: “I’ve never liked using sunscreens under makeup or applying it just to go out for a walk, but this is light enough that the skin can still breathe and I forget I am wearing it almost immediately,” reads one tester’s review.

Obviously, sunscreen is the number one anti-aging product, but this spray sunscreen also has other MVP ingredients that help the cause. It’s filled with vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage that can speed up the aging process.

THE REVIEWS: “Best ever! This is the easiest SPF application, and I only use this on my face,” writes one tester. “It keeps skin moisturized and glowing all day,” writes another.

You can go ahead and spritz on this spray sunscreen without worrying your conscience. Not only is it a cruelty-free product, but it’s also vegan and a reef-safe sunscreen, all while giving you non-sticky UVA/UVB protection. A true winner.

THE REVIEWS: “I just spent a week at the beach and didn’t burn a drop—other sunscreens be damned!” writes one reviewer.

For those who loooove a dewy face (🙋🙋🙋), the Pixi Beauty Sun Mist def needs to be your next SPF spray. The coveted mist contains chamomile, bamboo, and aloe leaf extracts that calm, condition, and soothe your skin. Apply in the a.m. and use as often as you wish throughout the day (at least every two hours). Insider tip: I use it to refresh my makeup, and it gives me the prettiest glow.

THE REVIEW: “It’s so difficult to find a quality sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white/purple cast, isn’t greasy, and doesn’t break the bank,” reads one customer’s review.

IMO, the best thing about this sunscreen is that it won’t leave you feeling greasy. The formula has a lightweight matte finish, and it’s also packed with moisturizing ingredients—so it’ll keep your face oil-free without feeling tight or dry.

THE REVIEW: “This mist controls oiliness and has SPF 45; it doesn’t mess up my makeup and it gives me a matte finish,” writes one tester.

This transparent, quick-drying face mist is great for under and over makeup, making it the perfect staple for your skincare routine. Not only does it offer SPF 50 protection, but it also protects against blue light (!!) The formulation is vegan, halal, and cruelty-free.

MY REVIEW: I love this versatile spray because it has hydrating ingredients and works well under or over makeup—basically it’s your daily dose of sunscreen, moisture, and primer all in one.

The most luxurious sunscreen spray (without the added $$$) on this list happens to be the Habit Skin N°41 Mister. Not only is it clean (FYI: We’ve got a comprehensive guide to everything you should know about clean and natural beauty), but the rose geranium, lavender, and rosemary oils create the yummiest scent that feels luxe. Mist all over your face and neck in the a.m. and reapply throughout the day. Plus, the size of the product is perfect for your purse, giving you no excuse not to apply it daily and often.

THE REVIEW: “I use this sunscreen every day and I like how it leaves a shine on my face without making me look oily,” one reviewer writes.

We’re obsessed with the packaging (obviously), but the ultra-hydrating sunscreen inside is even better. Ideal for normal to dry skin types, this spray-on formula features nourishing grapeseed oil and soothing marigold extract so you’ll get a healthy-looking glow in addition to SPF 50 protection.

THE REVIEW: “I’ve been looking for a sunscreen that wouldn’t leave a film on my skin—this one is easy to rub in, makes my skin soft, and really gives such a nice natural glow,” writes one reviewer.
