EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 — 3 oz Water & Sweat-Resistant Mineral SPF for Face & Body

This lightweight, non-greasy 3 oz sunscreen is formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a white cast and can be applied to wet or dry skin. Designed for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, the lotion offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB mineral protection while remaining fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic. Its water- and sweat-resistant formulation helps maintain coverage during exercise and water exposure when used as directed.

How does this sunscreen stand up to swimming, sweating, and long workouts?

EltaMD UV Sport is engineered to resist water and perspiration so you can stay active outdoors. The formula is tested to remain effective for up to 80 minutes in water or when sweating, but reapplication is still necessary to maintain optimal protection.

• Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Applies to wet or dry skin without running into eyes
• Reapply every 2 hours or after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating

Will it feel heavy or leave a white cast on my skin?

The lotion spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly into most skin types, offering mineral protection without a heavy, sticky residue. Its transparent finish minimizes the usual mineral whiteness, making it suitable for both face and body.

• Non-greasy texture that spreads easily
• Formulated to reduce visible white residue
• Fast absorption for quick reapplication during activities

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Formulated without fragrance and parabens, UV Sport is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic so it’s appropriate for sensitive or breakout-prone skin types. As with any topical product, patch testing is recommended if you have highly reactive skin.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic to help avoid pore clogging
• Mineral (zinc oxide) active ingredient often preferred for sensitive skin

How should I apply and reapply for the best protection?

For full coverage, apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and rub into skin thoroughly. Reapply at least every two hours, and immediately after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating, towel drying, or prolonged sun exposure.

• Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure
• Reapply every 2 hours or after 80 minutes of water/sweat exposure
• Suitable for face and full-body use; use recommended amounts for complete coverage
