Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 for Face & Body — 3 fl oz, 100% Mineral Broad-Spectrum, Lightweight

CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight, 100% mineral sunscreen for face and body that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.

This travel-ready 3 fl oz lotion uses micronized mineral technology to spread evenly and absorb without a heavy white cast or greasy finish. Formulated to be hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free, it combines zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for sun filtration plus vitamin E to help soothe and support skin comfort. The water-resistant formula helps maintain protection during activity, and the non-comedogenic texture works for daily wear on both face and body.

How does this mineral sunscreen perform on sensitive skin?

The formula focuses on gentle, non-irritating ingredients to minimize reactions on delicate skin types. It is fragrance- and paraben-free and designed to avoid pore-clogging, making it suitable for those who react to stronger chemical sunscreens.

• 100% mineral active filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulation
• Non-comedogenic, suitable for acne-prone or reactive skin
• Includes vitamin E to help soothe and comfort skin

Will this sunscreen leave a white cast or feel heavy under makeup?

The micronized mineral particles are engineered to disperse evenly for a sheer finish that blends quickly into skin. The lotion is lightweight and absorbs without a greasy residue, making it compatible with daily skincare and cosmetic routines.

• Micronized mineral technology for an even, sheer look
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that layers under makeup
• Non-greasy finish reduces shine and makeup slip
• Designed to avoid visible white residue on most skin tones

How long does protection last and is it water resistant?

This sunscreen provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. For best results, reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying and at least every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 shields against UVA and UVB
• Water resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Reapply after water exposure or heavy perspiration
• Use as part of a regular daily sun-protection routine

What ingredients and environmental considerations should I know?

The active ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, mineral filters that physically block UV rays rather than absorbing them. The formula is marketed as reef friendly and avoids common chemical sunscreen actives that some regions regulate.

• Active mineral filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• Contains vitamin E as a skin-soothing antioxidant
• Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and hypoallergenic
• Reef-friendly formulation suitable for eco-conscious use

Who is this for: This Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is intended for people seeking daily, gentle sun protection—especially those with sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin—who want a travel-sized SPF 50 that layers well under makeup and stays effective during active days outdoors. It also suits travelers and anyone preferring mineral-based, reef-friendly sunscreen options.
