EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 — 8 oz Tube, Water & Sweat-Resistant Zinc Oxide

EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 is a sweat- and water-resistant zinc-oxide sunscreen lotion designed for active, full-body protection during outdoor exercise and recreation.

Whether you're training for an event, spending a day at the beach, or enjoying backyard play, this formula aims to stay put through sweat and short swims while protecting skin from UVA and UVB rays. The oil-free, non-greasy lotion spreads smoothly on wet or dry skin and rinses less easily, making it practical for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts who need dependable coverage without a heavy feel.

How does this sunscreen hold up during intense activity?

EltaMD UV Sport is engineered to resist both water and sweat for up to 80 minutes, so it maintains coverage longer than many everyday lotions when you’re active. It’s formulated to be applied to damp or dry skin and minimizes dripping and eye stinging while you move.

• Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes per application
• Works on wet or dry skin without running into eyes
• Non-greasy texture for comfortable reapplication during activity

What kind of sun protection does this provide?

This lotion provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection using zinc oxide as a primary active ingredient. Zinc oxide gives reliable physical coverage across a wide range of UV wavelengths, helping reduce sun exposure risk during extended outdoor time.

• SPF 50 rating for high-level UVB defense
• Zinc oxide-based formulation for broad-spectrum coverage
• Suitable for face and body application when robust protection is needed

Is the formula suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The lotion is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and formulated without parabens, making it appropriate for many skin types, including sensitive skin. Because it’s oil-free and lightweight, it’s less likely to leave a heavy residue or contribute to clogged pores during exercise.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free to reduce irritation risk
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic for minimal pore blockage
• Dermatologist-recommended brand history for trusted formulations

How should I use and reapply this sunscreen for best results?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin before heading outdoors and rub in thoroughly. Reapply at least every two hours during continuous exposure, and immediately after 80 minutes in water, heavy sweating, or towel drying.

• Apply to wet or dry skin and spread evenly for full coverage
• Reapply every two hours or after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweat
• Use a shot-glass amount for full-body coverage; follow package directions

Who is this for? If you lead an active outdoor life — running, swimming, hiking, golfing, skiing, or playing field sports — and need a high-SPF, water- and sweat-resistant sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy or greasy, EltaMD UV Sport is designed for you. It’s also a good choice for families and athletes who want a dermatologist-recommended, zinc-oxide formula that can be applied to face and body and withstand short bouts of water and perspiration. Always follow sun-safety practices: seek shade, wear protective clothing, and reapply sunscreen as directed.
