How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Sunscreen is applied to large areas of skin and often reapplied multiple times. Chemical sunscreen filters (oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone) are absorbed through the skin and detected in blood, urine, and breast milk within hours of application. Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are the safer alternative.
Why We Rated It This Way
Coppertone's Pure Mineral line is a solid mainstream choice for mineral sunscreen. No chemical filters. Available at most drugstores and grocery stores.
