EltaMD UV Active Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ — 3.0 oz Water-Resistant, Oil-Free Face & Body

This lightweight, oil-free lotion is built for people who spend time outdoors and need dependable mineral sun protection that stays put through sweat and water. The formula blends zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum UV coverage, pairs water resistance up to 80 minutes, and uses transparent mineral technology to minimize visible residue on skin. It’s made without fragrance and is non-comedogenic, which helps it sit comfortably under sport gear, hats, or daily cosmetics.

How does this sunscreen perform during outdoor activities?

UV Active was designed to stay effective while you move—whether you’re swimming, hiking, or playing sports. It resists rinsing and slipping, and it won’t sting the eyes when you perspire or get splashed.

• Water resistant for up to 80 minutes, suitable for swimming or heavy sweating
• Oil-free texture that won’t drip or feel greasy during exertion
• Transparent zinc oxide to reduce white cast on most skin tones

What UV and light protection does it offer?

The lotion provides broad-spectrum defense against both UVA and UVB radiation thanks to mineral filters. In addition to UV blocking, it helps shield skin from high-energy visible (HEV) light from screens and sunlight-exposed environments.

• SPF 50+ mineral protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• Helps reduce exposure to HEV (blue) light
• Suitable for face and body coverage in a single product

Is the formula suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The sunscreen is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating. It’s fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and labeled non-comedogenic, reducing the likelihood of pore-clogging or sensitivity reactions for many users.

• Dermatologist-tested and oil-free to minimize breakouts
• Free of fragrance and common irritants
• Lightweight lotion absorbs without heavy residue

What skin benefits or supportive ingredients are included?

Beyond sun defense, the formula contains supportive botanicals and antioxidants intended to maintain skin’s appearance and texture. Ingredients like jojoba esters and vitamin E help condition the skin while knotgrass extract assists with surface resilience.

• Hydrolyzed jojoba esters for conditioning and a smooth finish
• Vitamin E for antioxidant support and skin comfort
• Knotgrass extract contributes to skin firmness-supporting routine

Who this product is for: EltaMD UV Active is a strong pick for people who need reliable mineral sun protection during active, water-prone days—athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, lifeguards, parents supervising kids at the pool, or anyone who prefers a non-greasy, transparent mineral sunscreen for face and body. It’s also appropriate for those seeking fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested formulas that layer well under makeup or performance gear.
