Neutrogena Sport Active Defense SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray — 5 oz, Water & Sweat Resistant, Quick-Dry Mint

Neutrogena Sport Active Defense SPF 30 is a quick-drying, sweat- and water-resistant spray sunscreen designed to protect skin during active outdoor time.

Whether you run, paddle, bike, or play on the beach, this lightweight sunscreen spray from a dermatologist-recommended brand delivers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a non-sticky formula. It combines Helioplex stabilization with antioxidant vitamins C and E, and a refreshing mint scent to help you feel cool while shielding skin from sun exposure. The formula is oxybenzone-free, vegan, and water resistant for up to 80 minutes when used as directed.

How do I apply this spray for reliable protection?

Spray liberally over exposed skin and then rub gently to ensure even coverage—15 minutes before going into the sun. Because sprays can miss areas or be uneven, spreading with your hand helps create a uniform layer of protection.

• Hold can 4–6 inches from skin and spray in a sweeping motion.
• Spread product evenly by hand after spraying; avoid inhaling spray.
• Apply to all exposed areas, including ears, back of neck, and tops of feet.
• Reapply at least every two hours and after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating.

Will this sunscreen stay on during swimming or intense exercise?

This Neutrogena Sport spray is formulated to be water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it’s suitable for many athletic and water activities. For prolonged exposure, towel-drying and reapplication are recommended to maintain coverage.

• Water resistance validated for up to 80 minutes per label directions.
• Reapply immediately after towel drying, swimming, or heavy sweating.
• Use a fresh application every two hours during extended outdoor activity.

What skin benefits do the antioxidants and formulation provide?

Vitamins C and E are included to help care for skin exposed to environmental stressors while the lightweight, quick-dry base avoids stickiness. The formula aims to feel refreshing and comfortable during activity without leaving a greasy residue.

• Antioxidants C and E help support skin’s appearance after sun exposure.
• Quick-drying, non-sticky texture for active use.
• Mild mint fragrance adds a cooling sensation without heavy perfume.

Are there any ingredients or testing standards I should know about?

This spray is free of oxybenzone, parabens, and dye, and is labeled as vegan. It uses Neutrogena’s Helioplex technology to help stabilize broad spectrum UVA/UVB filters for reliable SPF 30 performance.

• Broad spectrum SPF 30 with Helioplex for stabilized UV filters.
