EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ (Untinted)

Sunscreen that doesn’t feel  like sunscreen.

EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ delivers powerful defense against both UVA (which causes aging) and UVB (which leads to burning) rays, with 80-minute water resistance for extended outdoor protection.

This lightweight, fast-absorbing sunscreen features a fluid texture that blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving a transparent, non-pilling finish with a light and airy feel. It hydrates without feeling greasy and offers a cooling effect to calm overheated or sun-exposed skin. Formulated with antioxidants, it helps neutralize free radicals triggered by UV rays, infrared radiation (IR), and high-energy visible (HEV) light.

Free from fragrance and parabens, this sunscreen is also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.

UV Sheer SPF 50+ Features and Benefits:

A lightweight mineral sunscreen designed for active days.
This breathable formula provides broad-spectrum protection while delivering lasting hydration. Perfect for those with uneven skin tone, it works double-duty by shielding your skin and supporting a more balanced complexion.

• Vitamin C visibly brightens and supports a more even skin tone
• Hydrating ingredients lock in moisture and calm overheated skin
• Resists water and sweat for up to 80 minutes
• Sheer, non-greasy finish leaves no white residue on any skin tone
• Non-comedogenic—wear it under makeup or on bare skin without clogging pores

Key Ingredients:

Transparent Zinc Oxide – A naturally derived mineral that deflects and disperses harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum sun protection.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) – A powerful humectant that binds moisture to the skin, helping to restore hydration and minimize dryness and flaking.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) – A stable, lipid-soluble form of Vitamin C that helps neutralize free radicals caused by UV rays, infrared exposure, and blue light—supporting a more youthful-looking complexion.

Squalane – A lightweight, plant-based emollient that mimics the skin’s natural oils to prevent water loss and promote a smoother, softer texture.

Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure
