EWG’s 2025 Best Moisturizers with SPF
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has just released its highly anticipated list of the best moisturizers with SPF for 2025—and we’re excited to share that several ROOTS-approved clean beauty brands made the cut. These standout formulas combine daily hydration with effective, non-toxic sun protection, making them ideal for this time of year when your skincare routine needs to adapt to the changing weather.
From radiant mineral tints to ultra-sheer fluids, here are our favorite EWG-approved SPF moisturizers—including the ones you can find right here at ROOTS.
☀️ Why Moisturizer + SPF is a Summer Essential
Instead of layering multiple products (serum, cream, sunscreen, primer…), an SPF moisturizer streamlines your routine. The best ones hydrate, protect, and even out skin tone—all while being gentle enough for daily use.
When choosing an SPF moisturizer, we look for:
Mineral-based filters like zinc oxide (EWG's top pick for safe, effective protection)
Toxin-free formulas with no parabens, synthetic fragrances, or harsh chemicals
Lightweight, breathable textures perfect for warm-weather wear
Sheer or tinted finishes that work as a base or replacement for makeup
