EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 — 5 oz, 100% Zinc Oxide Mineral, Hydrating Antioxidant Formula

EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 is a 100% mineral zinc oxide mist that sprays on visibly and rubs in clear to deliver broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection for face and body.

Comfortable to use and formulated for daily wear, this fragrance-free mist blends mineral actives with antioxidant support and hydrating botanicals. The spray dispenses white so you can see where you’ve applied it, then rubs in clear to avoid streaks or a white cast. Water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, it’s designed for outdoor activities while remaining gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

How does this spray ensure full, even coverage?

The mist initially appears white on skin so you can visually confirm application, then the transparent zinc oxide formula absorbs and disappears after rubbing in. This two-step visual check reduces missed spots and patchy layers.

• Visible white spray confirms areas covered during application
• Rubs in clear to prevent a chalky finish
• Mist format covers face and large body areas quickly
• Non-streaking formula suitable for all skin tones

What protective and skin-supporting ingredients are included?

This formula uses 100% mineral UV actives—zinc oxide—for broad-spectrum defense, supplemented with antioxidants and hydrators to support skin health. The result is sun protection plus ingredients intended to soothe and replenish skin after sun exposure.

• Zinc oxide provides mineral-based UVA and UVB coverage
• Antioxidants like vitamins help counter environmental aggressors
• Aloe vera and glycerin add hydration and calming benefits
• Formulation excludes fragrances, parabens, and dyes

Can I use this on my face and in water?

Yes—the mist is formulated for both face and body, and it offers water resistance for up to 40 minutes, making it practical for swimming or sweating. When applying to the face, spray onto hands first if preferred, then smooth for controlled, even coverage around eyes.

• Designed for face and body application
• Water-resistant for about 40 minutes per reapplication guidance
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic for sensitive or acne-prone skin
• Suitable for reapplying over makeup when needed

How does this fit into a daily skincare routine?

The lightweight mist is intended as the final step in your morning routine to lock in protection. It layers over serums and moisturizers, delivering mineral SPF without heavy residue so daily application is convenient and comfortable.

• Apply after moisturizer and other skincare steps
• Reapply every two hours or after swimming/sweating for continued protection
• Works under or over makeup depending on preference
• Fragrance-free and gentle for everyday use

Who is this for: EltaMD UV AOX Mist SPF 40 suits anyone seeking mineral-based, broad-spectrum protection for active outdoor days or daily wear—especially those who value visible application cues, a lightweight finish, and antioxidant-supporting ingredients. It’s a practical choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and people with sensitive or combination skin looking for easy reapplication on the go.
