EltaMD Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 41 for Face, 3 oz — Lightweight 100% Mineral, Matte Natural Finish

EltaMD UV Physical Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 41 is a lightly tinted, 100% mineral facial sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a matte, natural finish.

This travel-friendly 3 oz lotion combines transparent zinc oxide with a subtle tint to protect and even skin tone while resisting water for up to 40 minutes. Formulated without parabens, fragrances, or dyes, the sunscreen is designed to be gentle on sensitive and oily skin types and to minimize shine and white cast on fair to medium complexions.

How does this mineral sunscreen protect my skin?

EltaMD UV Physical uses 100% mineral actives to form a physical barrier that reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays away from the skin. SPF 41 denotes its tested level of UVB protection, and the formula is broad spectrum for comprehensive coverage.

• Contains transparent zinc oxide as the active mineral ingredient
• Broad-spectrum SPF 41 to shield from UVA and UVB exposure
• No chemical filters — relies on mineral physics rather than absorption
• Light tint reduces visible white cast commonly associated with mineral sunscreens

Will it work for oily or sensitive skin without clogging pores?

This lotion is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, formulated to suit oily and sensitive complexions. It’s fragrance-free, dye-free, and paraben-free to lower irritation risk while antioxidants help counter free-radical stress from environmental exposure.

• Non-comedogenic — won’t block pores
• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free for reduced irritation
• Contains antioxidants to support skin resilience
• Matte, natural finish helps control shine for oily skin

How long does the water resistance last and how should I reapply?

The formula is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, making it suitable for brief swimming or sweating sessions. Reapply after 40 minutes of water exposure, immediately after towel drying, or every two hours during continuous sun exposure for best protection.

• Water resistant up to 40 minutes
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying
• Follow typical reapplication guidance for prolonged sun exposure
• Travel-size 3 oz bottle is convenient for on-the-go top-ups

Will the tint match my skin and how does it layer with makeup?

The product offers a light tint formulated to blend into fair to medium skin tones, reducing the visible white cast of many mineral sunscreens. Its matte, natural finish makes it easy to wear alone or under makeup — apply moisturizer first, then this tinted sunscreen, and follow with primer or foundation as needed.

• Lightly tinted to blend with fair to medium complexions
• Matte finish that layers well beneath makeup
• Can be used as the last skincare step before cosmetics
• Travel-sized bottle helps maintain routine when away from home

Who is this for? EltaMD UV Physical Tinted Face SPF 41 is suited for anyone seeking a physician-trusted mineral sunscreen that minimizes shine and white cast while offering reliable broad-spectrum protection. It’s a practical choice for sensitive or oily skin types, people who prefer mineral-only actives, and those who want a travel-friendly, lightly tinted option to wear alone or under makeup.
