Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 Sunscreen with Sunflower Extract

Editor's Take

This is the sunscreen I’d reach for when protection and wear matter most, but its polished SPF 50 performance comes with a polymer-heavy environmental tab.

Four-pillar formula scores

• Performance: 8.8 / 10
• Innovative Ingredients: 7.8 / 10
• Clean Standards: 8.8 / 10
• Formula Sustainability: 4.5 / 10

The Verdict

SPF 50 protection, photostabilization, and a skin-affine liquid crystal base make this a strong everyday sunscreen. It should spread and wear more elegantly than a basic drugstore lotion, while glycerin, rice bran extract, and allantoin add useful conditioning. The catch is sustainability: Acrylates Copolymer, isododecane, and another persistent polymer keep the formula tied to fossil feedstocks and poor biodegradability. A credible pick for daily protection, not the environmentally progressive option in the sunscreen aisle.
