EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 is a mineral-based face and body sunscreen for people who sweat in it. The filters are 9% transparent zinc oxide with octinoxate and octisalate, and the finish goes on clear rather than chalky. It holds through 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and it will not rinse off in water, drip, or sting your eyes.

Product Details

The transparent grade of zinc is what makes this wearable for a run or a round of golf rather than only a beach day. It absorbs fast, leaves no heavy residue, and vitamin E works on free radicals alongside the filters. EltaMD built it for swimmers, skiers, runners and golfers, and it comes in a 3 oz tube or an 8 oz bottle for full-body use. Browse the rest of EltaMD body and sport sunscreens to compare formats.

Prefer to reapply without stopping? UV AOX Mist Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 5 OZ is the spray in the same range, made for topping up over the day.
