CeraVe Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 — Travel Size 2.5 oz, Oil-Free Hydrating Formula with Zinc Oxide & Ceramides

CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a dermatologist-developed, oil-free facial sunscreen that uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad-spectrum physical protection while helping support skin hydration.

This lightweight face lotion combines mineral UV filters with skin-repair ingredients—three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide—to deliver sun protection that’s designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. The 2.5 oz travel size is convenient for everyday carry or for meeting airline and beach-rules while remaining free of fragrance, parabens and oils. The formula is non-comedogenic and suitable for use under makeup when applied in thin, even layers.

How does a 100% mineral sunscreen protect my skin?

Mineral sunscreens use tiny particles of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to sit on top of the skin and reflect or scatter UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical filters that absorb UV radiation, these physical filters provide immediate protection upon application and are oxybenzone- and avobenzone-free.

• Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide broad-spectrum defense against UVA/UVB rays.
• Immediate protection—no wait time after application.
• Free of oxybenzone, avobenzone and benzene; Hawaii-compliant formulation.

Will this sunscreen hydrate and support my skin barrier?

Yes — the lotion blends three ceramides with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier while attracting surface hydration. These ingredients work alongside the mineral filters to leave skin feeling moisturized rather than dry or tight after sun exposure.

• Ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II help rebuild and maintain the lipid barrier.
• Hyaluronic acid draws moisture to the skin’s surface for lasting hydration.
• Niacinamide soothes and supports even-looking texture.

Does it leave a white cast or interfere with makeup?

Mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a visible white cast, but this formula is designed to blend smoothly when applied in thin, even layers and massaged into the face and neck. It’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it can be used beneath makeup; allow the lotion to settle briefly for best results.

• Apply evenly in thin coats to reduce visible residue.
• Works well under foundation and daily skincare products.
• Recommended for sensitive and acne-prone skin due to oil-free formulation.

How is this convenient for travel or daily use?

The 2.5 oz size fits travel regulations and is compact for carrying in a bag, making reapplication practical during the day. Its fragrance-free, gentle formulation is suited for frequent use without added irritants.

• 2.5 oz tube meets most airline carry-on size limits.
• Lightweight texture layers easily for reapplication throughout the day.
• FSA/HSA eligible for purchase in many plans.

Who is this for? This sunscreen is intended for people seeking a gentle, mineral-based facial SPF that supports skin barrier health while remaining suitable for sensitive, combination, or acne-prone skin types. It's a good choice for travelers needing a compact, reef-friendly option and for anyone who prefers fragrance-free, dermatologist-developed sun protection that layers under makeup.
