Sunscreen is the only product one should never skip every day. Sun or rain, indoor or outdoor, use it all the time. I used to use chemical sunscreens a lot during my college days. As some chemical sunscreens started to irritate my sensitive skin, I switched to natural, organic, and chemical-free sunscreens. Physical sunscreens are known to be the safest options. They usually contain physical blockers zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as their active ingredient. On the other hand, there are also sunscreens containing naturally occurring SPF ingredients such as carrot seed oil, wheat germ oil, raspberry seed oil, jojoba oil, etc. This post will feature some of the Best Chemical Free Sunscreen in India.
Update as of 2021: I suggest these “Chemical Free Sunscreens” for those who are not exposed to the sun a lot and require a sunblock for use indoors. Otherwise, for heavy sun exposure, I recommend getting either a proper Physical Sunscreen or a Sunscreen Recommended By Dermatologists for effective protection against sun rays and their damage.

Lovely compilation. I have used the Just herbs one and like it. I want to try the Aroma magic one 🙂
I have used both the Just herbs and the nature’s co and liked them., though they cannot be used for sun protection for a long time when being outside, I like to use less chemical based ones when not being a lot out in the sun
I love using Just Herbs Nosun Sun Protection Gel 🙂 Nice list

Love to know that you are also in cruelty-free products. Nice compilation here. I also wanna use TNC one. How much the just herbs one? I think that one is best suited for me.
I really wish that my sunscreen has water and sweat proof properties always.. I can’t live without having this quality in my sunscreens.. ?
I tried jovees one! I was in love with that.. ??
Thanks for so many products.. Will try them though.. ?
Beautiful compilation of chemical dress sunscreen. Thinking of giving aroma essentials carrot a try. Sharing this with my friends on twitter.
I haven’t tried any of these….I only use the neutrogena one as my skin is super sensitive to sunscreens and it tend to shed by the effect of the chemicals in the sunscreen….but as they are chemical free options, I guess they might suit me….thanks for sharing…

Hi! You know any store were I can buy one of this sunscreens in New Delhi??. I have been looking for reef friendly sunscreen for months and is not easy here in India. As a tourist is also hard to buy online so I need a store. Thanks in advance!
Aroma Magic, Jovees and VLCC sunscreens are easily available in Health & Glow outlets. I’m not Delhi based but I’m sure there are many outlets there.
M confused which one I shall try ??I always get outside..
I like to use Aroma Magic one on casual days because it’s similar to Lacto Calamine. What is your skin type?
