The 6 closest dupes, ranked by formula match
Match is how much of Brinton UV Doux Blue Light Sunscreen's weighted formula a product shares. Scores are each product's own, so a dupe can match closely and still score differently.
Prices are the lowest retailer price in our records; a dash means we don't have one. We earn a commission if you buy through a "Find on Amazon" link. It never affects scores or matches.
How we find a dupe
Same product type
Sunscreens are compared with sunscreens, from the products we've scored.
Actives count most
S and A-grade actives weigh up to 30 times more than water, glycerin or thickeners. A dupe must share at least one key active.
30% match or more
Below that it isn't a dupe. Same brand and renamed versions of the original are left out.
A label lists ingredients, not amounts. Two products can share every ingredient at different strengths, so a high match means a similar formula, not a guaranteed identical result.
