EltaMD mineral sunscreen spray SPF 40 — 5 oz AOX Mist with antioxidants, water-resistant

EltaMD UV AOX Mist is a 100% mineral, broad-spectrum SPF 40 face and body sunscreen spray that applies visibly white for coverage and rubs in clear for a streak-free finish.

Lightweight and formulated for everyday outdoor use, this 5 oz aerosol-free mist combines zinc oxide mineral filters with antioxidant ingredients to help protect skin from UVA/UVB exposure while soothing and hydrating. The formula sprays on visible white so you can confirm coverage, then blends to a transparent finish without leaving a lasting white cast. It’s water resistant for up to 40 minutes and free of fragrances, parabens and dyes, making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.

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

The product sprays on as a visible white layer so you can see where it lands. Once you rub it in, the zinc oxide disperses and becomes clear, eliminating streaks and uneven patches.

• White spray visible at application for clear coverage verification
• Rubs in quickly to a transparent finish
• Even spread reduces missed zones on hard-to-reach areas

Will this sunscreen work for face and body without causing breakouts?

Yes — the mist is formulated for both face and body and labeled non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic to minimize pore-clogging risk. It’s fragrance- and dye-free to reduce irritation potential while remaining lightweight enough for daily facial use.

• 100% mineral actives with zinc oxide, gentle on sensitive skin
• Non-comedogenic and dermatologist recommended
• Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dye-free for fewer irritants

How does the formula protect and care for skin beyond sun filtering?

The AOX Mist blends mineral UV filters with antioxidants and hydrating botanicals to address environmental stressors and surface dryness. Ingredients like vitamin E, aloe vera and glycerin help soothe and maintain skin moisture while antioxidant benefits support overall skin appearance.

• Antioxidants such as vitamin E help counter environmental aggressors
• Aloe vera and glycerin provide immediate hydration and soothing
• Transparent zinc oxide offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage without residue

How long does protection last and is it suitable for water activities?

The mist provides water resistance for up to 40 minutes, which supports short periods of swimming or sweating when applied as directed. Reapplication after towel drying, excessive sweating, or swimming is recommended to maintain SPF protection.

• Water resistant up to 40 minutes per label instructions
• Reapply after towel drying, heavy sweating, or extended sun exposure
• Portable 5 oz size for on-the-go top-ups

Who this is for: EltaMD UV AOX Mist SPF 40 suits people seeking a mineral-based, easy-to-apply sunscreen for both face and body. It’s a practical pick for sensitive skin types, outdoor enthusiasts who want visible application assurance, and anyone wanting a fragrance-free, antioxidant-fortified SPF solution that dries clear and tolerates brief water exposure.
