This App Analyzes the Impact of Products on Your Health—These Are Its Top-Ranked Sunscreens

If you haven’t heard the hype about the Yuka app, you will soon. Let us fill you in so that when your friend asks if you have the app, you know exactly what they’re talking about. Yuka is a free mobile app that allows you to scan the barcodes of food and personal-care products and immediately see their impact on your health. Each product page features information and a rating to help you understand the breakdown. Yuka recently shared a list of sunscreens rated “excellent” in the app, so you know the ingredients are not harmful to you or the environment. Here are the top healthy sunscreens, according to Yuka’s data. (The top seven were tied with a rating of 93 out of 100, so there are a ton of stellar options.)
