Aveeno Active Naturals - Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Sunscreen

Buy!

While I've documented my general dissatisfaction with Aveeno elsewhere, and I generally try to use non-chemical sunscreens, this SPF 15 lotion is the best option I've found to wear on a daily basis for my walks to and from work. I'm only outside for half an hour total, so SPF 15 is sufficient for my commute. Moreover, I'd (almost) rather go sunscreen-free than sit around the office all day sticky from a non-chemical sunscreen. However, I read something recently that a lot of women are getting diagnosed with skin cancer on their shins, precisely because they don't use any sunscreen during brief -- but repeated -- sun exposure.

The sunscreen has an environmental working group score of 4, which isn't bad for a chemical sunscreen. Moreover, the sunscreen has good UVA/UVB balance (though only moderate protection from both) and excellent sunscreen stability.

The sunscreen/moisturizer is available for purchase at drugstore.com.
