Product Info
Sunscreen for an active day has to survive sweat, water, and constant motion without stinging your eyes or sliding off. EltaMD UV Active Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is a 100% mineral formula built for exactly that. It uses 19% transparent zinc oxide and 4% titanium dioxide to shield skin from UVA, UVB, and high-energy visible (HEV) light, and it stays water-resistant for a full 80 minutes.
Key Ingredients and How They Work
Transparent zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are mineral filters that sit on the surface of the skin and reflect UV rays, so protection starts the moment you apply. Knotgrass extract (Polygonum aviculare) adds flavonoid antioxidants that help defend against the free radicals behind premature aging. Jojoba esters improve water resistance and help the formula stay in place while supporting the skin barrier and hydration.
How to Use
Apply liberally to the face and body 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours. A shot-glass amount is a good guide for covering exposed skin.
What to Expect
UV Active goes on as a lightweight lotion and rubs in without a heavy sunscreen feel. It will not run into the eyes and sting during activity, and the transparent zinc keeps white cast to a minimum. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic.
Who Should Use This
Anyone who wants dependable sun protection for outdoor activity, sports, or long days in the sun. It suits combination, dry, oily, normal, and sensitive skin, and it is safe for daily use by both adults and children over 6 months.
Recommended by ELLEMES providers for full-body sun protection on active days and for sun avoidance after treatments. Fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
