Silicone free sunscreen

I have recently swapped to Drunk Elephant skincare, and am getting amazing results but I am struggling to find a sunscreen to use with the range. It is recommended to go silicone free to still get max benefits of skincare- and as silicone has zero benefits other than texture of products, I didn’t think it would be this hard!
Anyone able to help?

    Thanks for starting this topic. I’ve been looking for a natural sunscreen to try under makeup. Some good recs from the community here. How did you go with the one your derm recommended?

    Some great products to choose from there.

    I buy natural-based sunscreens without synthetic SPF etc, so if this is your type of thing, look at Nourished Life’s website. The website has reviews for many of their products and they have great customer service:

    I haven’t checked the ingredients list for all of their sunscreens (it would take too long at the moment), but most natural-based skin care products do not contain silicones.

    You can buy natural-based sunscreens from other online retailers specialising in natural-based skin care products and also in your local health food store.

    Another one, I found all of these on a website called theskincareedit, there are more on there but these are the top silicone free ones.
    Good luck =)

      Thanks amaze balls! Have you used any of them? I’m combo-oily and in a very humid climate so I struggle to find one that doesn’t make me look gross by 10am.
      My dermatologist has given me a sample of Envirostat, I’ve tried it today- so far so good, tomorrows going to hit 40degrees so I guess that’ll put it to the test lol
