EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 — Face & Body Mineral Sunscreen 3 oz, Water‑ & Sweat‑Resistant

EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a quick-absorbing, zinc oxide mineral sunscreen for face and body designed to stay on during sweating or swimming.

Built for active days outdoors, this SPF 50 lotion combines broad-spectrum mineral protection with a lightweight, non-greasy texture that can be applied to wet or dry skin. The formula uses transparent zinc oxide to shield against UVA and UVB rays while minimizing visible residue, and it is free of fragrances and parabens. Water- and sweat-resistant performance helps maintain coverage during hikes, runs, and water workouts.

How does it perform during intense activity and water exposure?

The lotion is formulated to resist rinsing and breakdown from sweat, so it stays effective through rigorous movement and short swims. For sustained protection, reapply after heavy sweating, towel-drying, or every 80 minutes in the water.

• Water- and sweat-resistant up to 80 minutes for continued sun coverage.
• Can be applied to wet skin—reapplication after towel drying improves durability.
• Non-drip, non-stinging formula suitable for high-movement sports.

Will this leave a white cast or feel greasy on skin?

EltaMD UV Sport uses transparent zinc oxide and dispersing agents to minimize whiteness and absorb quickly into most skin tones. The finish is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy so athletes and families can reapply without sticky buildup.

• Quick-absorbing texture that spreads easily over large areas.
• Designed to leave minimal to no white residue when rubbed in fully.
• Non-greasy, powdery finish for comfortable wear under active conditions.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The lotion is free from fragrance and parabens and is non-comedogenic, reducing the likelihood of pore-clogging. It’s formulated with gentle ingredients to suit a range of skin types, including those prone to irritation.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free to lower sensitization risk.
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t block pores during prolonged wear.
• Dermatologist-recommended formulation for everyday sun protection.

How should I use this for full-body protection?

Apply liberally at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours during normal conditions or every 80 minutes when swimming or sweating heavily. Ensure thorough coverage of commonly missed areas like ears, neck, and the tops of feet.

• Apply to wet or dry skin; rub in well for even coverage.
• Reapply after water activity, towel-drying, or heavy perspiration.
• Use generous amounts to reach the SPF labeled on the product.

Who is this for? EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is aimed at people with active outdoor lifestyles—athletes, outdoor workers, families at the beach, and anyone who wants dependable mineral-based SPF that performs when moving and sweating. It’s also a suitable option for those preferring fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formulations and a lightweight finish for full-body coverage.
