Michelle West Instagram – Comment “SUN” below if you want the clean SPF list!
Because if you’re wearing sunscreen daily, you need to hear this…
Unpopular opinion: I don’t wear sunscreen daily — because our bodies need vitamin D, and safe sun exposure is important.
But if I’m spending a full day at the beach, the pool, or out in strong sun? You better believe I’m protecting my skin — just with something clean.
Most conventional sunscreens (even the ones for babies) are loaded with chemical filters like avobenzone, octocrylene, oxybenzone, and homosalate — ingredients linked to hormone disruption, irritation, and even oxidative stress when exposed to UV light.
Even worse? The inactive ingredients: alumina (a form of aluminum), synthetic fragrance, drying alcohols, PEGs, and preservatives like phenoxyethanol. Many also use titanium dioxide, which is banned for inhalation in several countries due to safety concerns.
If you’re wearing sunscreen daily, I want to make sure you’re playing it safe.
My top pick right now? Sky and Sol.
Made with non-nano zinc oxide, skin-nourishing oils, and zero toxic junk. No titanium dioxide. No petroleum-based ingredients. Just clean, effective protection.
Use code “themichellewest” to save if you want to try Sky and Sol — or drop “SUN” in the comments and I’ll DM you my full list of clean sunscreens, including options for kids!
