EltaMD Mineral UV Stick Sunscreen SPF 50+ — 1.3 oz Clear-Apply Zinc Oxide, Water-Resistant & Sensitive Skin Friendly

EltaMD UV Stick is a portable, all-mineral SPF 50+ sunscreen stick with zinc oxide that provides broad-spectrum protection for face and body without a white cast.

Compact and TSA-friendly at 1.3 oz, this clear-applying mineral stick is formulated for everyday use and active days outdoors. It blends quickly, resists water and sweat for up to 80 minutes, and is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin — making it suitable for both children and adults. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, the formula also includes antioxidants to help defend skin from free-radical damage while avoiding dyes, parabens, and pore-clogging ingredients.

How does the stick deliver broad-spectrum sun protection?

EltaMD UV Stick relies on zinc oxide, a mineral filter that physically blocks UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide sits on the skin and scatters harmful radiation, delivering SPF 50+ coverage in a single, easy-to-apply format suitable for face and body use.

• Contains transparent zinc oxide for mineral-based protection
• Formulated for broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) defense at SPF 50+
• Antioxidants included to complement photoprotection
• Free of fragrance, parabens, and dyes

Will it leave a white cast or feel greasy?

This travel-size sunscreen stick is designed to glide on smoothly and absorb without the greasy residue often associated with traditional lotions. The stick applies transparently, minimizing visible white cast and making it more suitable for a wide range of skin tones.

• Transparent application avoids obvious white residue
• Non-greasy finish ideal for quick reapplication
• Glide-on format reduces mess compared with creams
• Non-comedogenic for compatibility with facial use

How well does it perform during water activities or sports?

EltaMD UV Stick is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it continues to offer protection through swimming, splashing, and active play. Reapply after the labeled water-resistance interval or after towel drying to maintain effective coverage during prolonged sun exposure.

• Water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes per label
• Easy touch-ups between activities—no lotion bottle required
• Compact size fits in pockets, beach bags, or backpacks
• Suitable around the eyes with a non-stinging mineral formula

How convenient is this stick for travel and daily carry?

At 1.3 oz the stick is TSA-approved and small enough to stash in a purse, diaper bag, or carry-on. The solid format eliminates spills, making it a practical option for travel, commuting, and outdoor family days where quick, no-mess reapplication is needed.

• TSA-friendly 1.3 oz size for air travel
• No-leak packaging reduces luggage mess risk
• Quick, single-handed application on the go
• Fits easily into small bags for everyday protection

Who is this for? Families, frequent travelers, and active people who want reliable mineral sun protection in a portable format will appreciate EltaMD UV Stick. It's also a good pick for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin who prefer fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formulas and for parents seeking a convenient, clear-applying sunscreen option for kids.
