EltaMD UV Lotion Mineral Sunscreen SPF 35 — 8 oz Hydrating Face & Body Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid

EltaMD UV Lotion SPF 35 is a mineral-based face and body sunscreen that moisturizes with hyaluronic acid while delivering broad-spectrum UV protection.

This lightweight lotion combines transparent zinc oxide with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to hydrate skin and shield it from UVA and UVB rays without leaving a white cast. Formulated for daily head-to-toe use, it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and suitable for sensitive, post-procedure, and acne-prone skin. The water resistance for up to 40 minutes makes it convenient for everyday outdoor activities and incidental water exposure.

How does this sunscreen hydrate while protecting skin?

EltaMD UV Lotion blends moisturizing ingredients with mineral sun filters so skin feels softer instead of dry after application. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, while the lotion base smooths the skin surface.

• Hyaluronic acid improves immediate and sustained hydration.
• Transparent zinc oxide reflects UV rays without a chalky finish.
• Vitamin E supplies antioxidant support against free radicals.
• Light, lotion texture spreads easily over face and body.

Will this leave an ashy cast on darker skin tones?

No—the formula uses transparent zinc oxide and a lightweight lotion base to minimize visible residue. Many users report it blends clear and provides a natural-looking finish across diverse skin tones.

• Mineral filter optimized for clarity, not thick white pastes.
• Sheer application suitable for face and body without tint buildup.
• Works under makeup or alone for a smooth, non-greasy feel.

Is this product appropriate for sensitive, acne-prone, or post-procedure skin?

Yes—EltaMD UV Lotion is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating. It’s hypoallergenic, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic, making it a practical choice after skin treatments or for reactive skin types.

• Non-comedogenic to reduce pore-clogging risk.
• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free to limit irritation.
• Suitable for post-procedure care under dermatologist guidance.

How long does the sun protection last and how should I apply it?

The lotion provides SPF 35 broad-spectrum protection and is water resistant for up to 40 minutes. For reliable coverage, apply generously to all exposed areas and reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.

• Apply evenly to face and body at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Reapply immediately after water exposure or heavy perspiration.
• Use daily for ongoing protection, even on cloudy days.

Who this is for: EltaMD UV Lotion SPF 35 is designed for anyone seeking a dermatologist-trusted mineral sunscreen that doubles as a hydrating lotion. It’s especially useful for people with dry, sensitive, mature, or acne-prone skin who want everyday broad-spectrum protection without heavy residue. Choose this 8 oz tube if you want a reliable, daily sunscreen that moisturizes while protecting both face and body.
