Consumer Reports has released its annual sunscreen ratings to help consumers pick the right sunscreen to protect against sunburn, skin cancer, and wrinkles.

This year, CR's ratings include dozens of lotions, sprays, and sticks.

Ten of them received an overall score of Excellent and are CR’s recommended products. Another 36 earned a very good score and are acceptable choices.

See below for reviews of six of the best sunscreens in our 2019 tests, covering lotion, spray, and mineral sunscreens, as well as sunscreens without oxybenzone.
