EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 — 5 oz White-to-Clear Zinc Oxide Mist, Antioxidant Hydration

EltaMD UV AOX Mist Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 40 is a 100% mineral, broad-spectrum zinc oxide mist that sprays on visibly and rubs in clear for face and body sun protection.

Lightweight and water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, this antioxidant-enriched sunscreen mist simplifies daily sun care with a no-fragrance, gentle formula suitable for all skin types. The product is free of chemical propellants and harsh additives, sprays on white to confirm coverage, then blends clear when massaged into skin—helpful for spot-checking application on children, active adults, or hard-to-see areas like the back and shoulders.

How does the spray ensure I didn’t miss any spots?

The mist is formulated to spray on white so you can visually confirm coverage before rubbing it in. Once blended, the transparent zinc oxide absorbs quickly and leaves no visible residue, preventing missed patches while avoiding a white cast.

• White spray indicates initial coverage
• Dries clear after rubbing in for a natural finish
• Fine mist reaches contours like ears and neck
• 5 oz portable can for easy reapplication

What skin benefits do the antioxidants and botanicals provide?

This mist pairs mineral sun filters with vitamin antioxidants and hydrating botanicals to support skin comfort while you’re outdoors. Antioxidants help neutralize environmental stressors, while aloe, glycerin, and coconut fruit extract help maintain moisture and reduce tightness after exposure.

• Vitamin E and vitamin C derivatives for antioxidant support
• Aloe vera and glycerin for lightweight hydration
• Coconut fruit extract for skin-conditioning properties
• Fragrance- and paraben-free to minimize irritation risk

Is this suitable for water activities and all skin types?

The formula is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes and is safe for both face and body use, so it’s a practical choice for poolside or seaside days. It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and free of dyes and fragrance, making it appropriate for sensitive, acne-prone, and normal skin types.

• Water-resistant up to 40 minutes for swimming or sweating
• 100% mineral SPF 40 with zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection
• Non-comedogenic and dermatologist recommended
• Face- and body-safe application

How do I apply and reapply this mist for best results?

Spray the white mist over exposed areas and rub in until it disappears to ensure even coverage. Reapply at least every two hours, or after 40 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating, and more often if toweling off or rubbing skin thoroughly.

• Spray evenly from several inches away for full coverage
• Rub in until clear to confirm absorption and avoid streaks
• Reapply after 40 minutes in water or heavy perspiration
• Carry the 5 oz can for convenient touch-ups during outings

Who is this for: EltaMD UV AOX Mist SPF 40 is ideal for active people and families who want quick, reliable mineral protection without sticky residue or strong scents. It suits those who need a face-safe formula that doubles for body use, people with sensitive or acne-prone skin seeking non-comedogenic options, and anyone who prefers a visual confirmation of coverage before the formula rubs in clear.
