The Best Natural Sun Moisturizers for Summer

Hot summers need lightweight, breathable moisturizers that hydrate your skin without clogging pores or leaving an uncanny white cast. We did our research on non-carcinogenic, sensitive skin-friendly, vegan & white cast-free sun-screen products to bring you top picks for the summer season.

Additionally, all products here with a star next to them (☆) are available on Yesstyle.

☆ 1. haruharu wonder – Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Sunscreen

Haruharu WONDER offers two popular SPF products: a “daily” sunscreen and this airy, lightweight formula. This black rice oil-infused moisturizing sunscreen also contains heartleaf extract and niacinamide, known for brightening skin.

It’s also packed with numerous other extracts and powerful ingredients! We’ve read through them to confirm the sunscreen’s claims. You can check their ingredients list on their YesStyle product page.

2. Clarins UV 50 Sunscreen Multi-Protection

Clarins is well-known for their 100% natural ingredients across all their products. We’ve tried plenty of Clarins makeup and skincare products, and we can confidently say the quality is as top-notch as their ingredients list. Clarins also promotes a vegan-friendly range of products through their “my clarins” collection. It’s absolutely worth checking out.

As for this SPF formula, it’s oil-free and feels extremely light on the skin. It is paraben-free and dermatologist-tested, and is absolutely worth its pricey-ness. Additionally, its ingredients list is only a quick read! See for yourself:

Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Dimethicone, Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Nylo.

☆ 3. ROUND LAB – Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen

A K-beauty favourite and best-seller, and it’s for a reason! The bottle includes 50ml of SPF50+ PA++++ goodness that’s shockingly good for it’s low price.

It’s known for its moisturizing abilities and strong protection without leaving a white cast. If you aren’t convinced yet, check out the reviews.

☆ 4. Beauty of Joseon – Relief Sun

Beauty of Joseon gets its name from the Joseon dynasty, a historical era in Korea known for its emphasis on natural ingredients in beauty.

The brand leans into this heritage by creating skincare products inspired by what people actually used back then, because, realistically, they didn’t have synthetic additives or lab-made fillers. Everything had to be natural, and Beauty of Joseon tries to reflect that in their ingredients today.

The same applies to their Relief Sun sunscreen product. The product is often compared with the Round Lab sunscreen (mentioned above) because of how similar they are in terms of usage of powerful but natural ingredients and lightweight, non-greasy texture. In the end, it all depends on your preference!

☆ 5. SKIN 1004 – Sun Trial Kit

Finally, if you’d rather not splurge on a product you aren’t 100% sure is right for your skin, consider this trial kit from SKIN1004, a K-beauty company known for its iconic ingredient: Centella Asiatica, a soothing plant extract from Madagascar.

We’ve reviewed many products from this brand, including a few moisturizers and ampoules, and hoped their SPF products would be equally amazing (and they were! We absolutely love this trial kit.)

Thanks for reading to the end!
