Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion, 3 fl oz Travel Size — Lightweight Non-Greasy Protection

Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight, 100% mineral sun lotion for face and body that shields sensitive skin with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while feeling non-greasy.

This travel-size SPF 50 uses micronized mineral filters to disperse active ingredients evenly for a sheer finish, making daily sun care comfortable for reactive or easily irritated skin. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and hypoallergenic, and includes vitamin E to help soothe and support skin's surface. It’s designed for everyday protection against UVA and UVB rays without clogging pores, and it’s water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

How does this mineral sunscreen feel on sensitive skin?

The lotion is formulated to be light and non-greasy so it absorbs quickly and minimizes residue. Micronized mineral technology helps minerals blend into skin for a sheer look rather than a heavy white cast.

• Sheer finish with fast absorption
• Non-comedogenic—won’t block pores
• Free of fragrance and parabens to reduce irritation risk
• Hypoallergenic formulation tested for sensitive skin

What kind of sun protection does it provide?

Protection is broad spectrum, reflecting both UVA and UVB radiation using 100% mineral filters. The combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provides physical blocking of sun rays rather than chemical absorption.

• Broad spectrum SPF 50 for daily UV defense
• Mineral (physical) filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• Helps reduce sunburn risk when applied properly and reapplied
• Water resistant up to 80 minutes for outdoor activity

Will it work under makeup and for travel?

This 3 fl oz size fits easily into a bag or carry-on and is formulated to layer under cosmetics. The lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable as a base under tinted moisturizers or foundations without pilling.

• Travel friendly size fits TSA carry-on limits
• Plays well under makeup—minimal transfer
• Sheer texture reduces visible residue under cosmetics
• Suitable for both face and body application

What skincare benefits beyond UV protection does it offer?

Beyond blocking sun rays, the formula includes vitamin E to help comfort and maintain skin surface health. It aims to lock in moisture to counteract drying effects that can come from sun exposure and outdoor conditions.

• Contains vitamin E for antioxidant support and comfort
• Helps retain hydration to prevent surface dryness
• Designed to be gentle on the skin microbiome
• Reef-friendly formulation for mindful outdoor use

It’s a practical choice for daily use on both face and body, suitable for people who prefer fragrance-free, paraben-free products and need water resistance for swimming or outdoor activities. If you want a dermatologist-recommended brand’s mineral SPF that layers well under makeup and won’t feel heavy, this lotion is designed to meet those needs.
