Cruelty-Free SPF 100 Sunscreen Recommendations Needed
Hello!
For 2026, I have slowly been replacing my personal care products with cruelty-free ones as I run out of them. This has gone quite well, but I've come across my first roadblock; sunscreen. All the cruelty-free options I've seen are SPF 30-50. Unfortunately, the only thing that really works for me is 100 SPF. I am very pale and very sensitive to the sun. I have tried just using 50-70, I am very diligent about applying correctly and reapplying frequently, and I will still develop a serious sunburn. When I used SPF 100 it was genuinely the first time in my life I did not burn. Beyond the long-term health complications seriously burning all the time could cause me, having red, peely skin all summer is just not pleasant.
I'm really hoping there's a fellow vegan Dracula out there that can help this pasty girl out. Please supply any vegan/cruelty-free SPF 100 recommendations here. I know that the percentage difference of sun coverage between the SPFs is statistically negligible, but those last few percentage points do a lot of heavy lifting when you're the shade of wonderbread. Please don't tell me I should just switch to a lower SPF, I would have done that already and saved the time of digging my reddit account out of the gutter.
Thank you!
