EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 — 5 oz Pack of 2, Zinc Oxide Mineral Protection & Antioxidant Hydration

EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 is a lightweight, all-mineral spray that delivers broad-spectrum zinc oxide protection and antioxidant hydration for face and body.

This clear-drying mist combines non-nano zinc oxide with antioxidant-rich botanicals to protect skin from UVA/UVB exposure while providing moisture. Designed for everyday use, the formula is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes and is made to be gentle on all skin types without leaving a heavy white cast. The spray format brings quick, even coverage for active days, outdoor errands, or layered sun care routines.

How does this mineral spray protect my skin from sun exposure?

EltaMD UV AOX Mist uses zinc oxide as a physical blocker to scatter and reflect UVA and UVB rays immediately on application. The SPF 40 rating indicates a reliable level of protection when applied correctly and reapplied as directed, especially after swimming or sweating.

• All-mineral formula featuring zinc oxide for broad-spectrum defense.
• SPF 40 provides strong daily protection; reapply after 40 minutes in water.
• Clear-drying finish reduces visible residue on skin and clothing.

Will this spray work for my face without causing breakouts or a white cast?

The mist is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, suitable for facial application across a range of skin types, including normal, combination, and oily. It contains hydrating antioxidants and botanicals that support skin comfort without heavy residues, and the blend is engineered to dry clear.

• Gentle, blendable mineral formula avoids heavy layering on delicate facial skin.
• Contains Vitamin C and E plus aloe and coconut extract for hydration.
• Clear-drying to minimize visible white cast on most skin tones.

How should I apply the spray for even, reliable coverage?

For best results, spray the product onto hands first for face application or directly onto body areas from the recommended distance, then rub in evenly. Make sure to coat all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming, towel-drying, or heavy sweating.

• Shake well and hold the can 4–6 inches from skin before spraying.
• Spray liberally and rub in for the face; spray directly on limbs and torso then spread.
• Reapply after 40 minutes in water, sweating heavily, or every two hours outdoors.

Is this spray suitable for active days, water activities, or travel?

The mist is formulated to be water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes, making it practical for sports, beach days, and outdoor trips. Its compact 5 oz size and clear finish make the twin-pack convenient for stashing in gym bags, beach kits, or carry-on luggage (check airline restrictions for aerosols).

• Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes—good for swimming and workouts.
• 5 oz bottle size fits most day bags and active kits; pack of two offers a spare.
• Spray delivery speeds up application for quick reapplication on the go.
