Good Affordable Sunscreens on iHerb US: Review

As you already know, staying protected from the sun by using a broad-spectrum SPF is very important, however, if you use it daily, the costs of purchasing a good sunscreen on a regular basis in addition to your regular expenses can quickly add up. Therefore, for this article, I have researched and reviewed the best sunscreen options that are budget friendly - based on their price by fluid ounce (the cheapest at only 1.72 $/fl oz!)

Whether you're a savvy shopper, a student on a budget, or simply looking to save without compromising on quality, let us explore the top sunscreens that provide reliable UV protection without breaking the bank!

Cheapest SPF 50 mineral sunscreens

(rated by $/oz)*

*For my non-American readers: divide the price of dollars/fl oz by 3.3 and you will get the approximate price of dollars/100 ml.

I have included Top 6 cheapest SPF50 sunscreens available on iHerb in the US. Of course, I only included the SPFs that do not contain harmful ingredients and are of a good quality and safe to use!

It was not my initial goal, but the list only contains mineral cream sunscreens - turns out they are the cheapest ones available on iHerb US.

I included sunscreens that can be used both and face and body, also - the sunscreens listed as "for kids" can, of course, be also used on adult skin (even better - since it is meant for delicate skin of kids and babies, it will probably be suited for grown ups with the most sensitive skin as well). The Banana Boat Kids Mineral Base Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ was an absolute winner with a price of only 1.72 $ per fluid ounce, and it is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as well as the National Eczema Association! A definite must-try if you have sensitive skin and are on a budget.

Hope this review is useful to you and helps to break the myth that all sunscreens are expensive!
