Coppertone Sport Sunscreen SPF 50
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5
Coppertone Sport is one of the most popular sunscreens in the US, and its current SPF 50 formula has already dropped oxybenzone and octinoxate. It still relies on chemical UV filters like avobenzone and octocrylene rather than mineral filters, and goes on lighter than most mineral sunscreens.
$8.99 per 7 fl oz bottle

Cons

- ✗Several chemical UV filters remain under environmental review for coral reef impact, even without oxybenzone specifically
