Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray 8.5 oz — Lightweight, Water-Resistant Broad Spectrum Protection

Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 30 Spray is a lightweight, broad spectrum sunscreen spray for face and body that absorbs quickly, resists water for up to 80 minutes, and is oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free.

Designed for active days by the shore or everyday outdoor routines, this Neutrogena spray delivers UVA/UVB protection using Helioplex technology in a no-mess aerosol. The formula combines avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene to provide SPF 30 coverage while remaining oil- and PABA-free. Its fast-absorbing, lightly scented finish minimizes white cast, and the product is compliant with Hawaii Act 104 reef-safety requirements.

How does this spray protect skin during beach and water activities?

The spray supplies broad spectrum protection to shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays, and its water resistance helps maintain protection while swimming or sweating. Reapply as directed after 80 minutes in water, heavy sweating, or towel drying for continuous coverage.

• Broad spectrum SPF 30 with Helioplex to stabilize UV filters
• Water resistant up to 80 minutes for swimming and active days
• Contains multiple active filters (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene)

Is this sunscreen safe for everyday use on face and body?

Yes—this oil-free, PABA-free formula is formulated for both face and body, but avoid spraying directly onto the face. For facial application, spray into your hands then smooth gently onto the skin to ensure even coverage and reduce inhalation risk.

What makes this product reef-friendly and compliant with Hawaii regulations?

• Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate to meet reef-safety rules
• Uses alternative active ingredients for broad spectrum coverage
• Good choice for travel to regions with marine protection regulations

How should I apply and reapply this spray for best results?

Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and rub in for even coverage, especially when using on the face. Reapply every two hours or after 80 minutes in water, towel drying, or heavy sweating to maintain protection.

• Spray into hands for facial use, then spread evenly—do not spray directly onto the face
• Reapply every 2 hours and after water exposure or towel drying
• Hold the can 4–6 inches from skin and cover all exposed areas
