Description
What is EltaMD UV Active Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+?
EltaMD UV Active Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is a pure mineral sunscreen for face and body, made for active lifestyles. Its filters are 19% transparent zinc oxide and 4% titanium dioxide, with no chemical filters, and the formula is water resistant for 80 minutes, so it will not rinse off in water, drip or sting the eyes. Antioxidants and knotgrass extract support skin that spends long hours outside, and the lotion is fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free and non-comedogenic. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Available at SkinCrew in 3 oz ($48).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Most sunscreens built for sport are chemical-filter formulas that run into the eyes the moment you sweat, and most mineral sunscreens that stay put are thick, white and hard to spread over arms and legs. People who train, hike or swim outdoors end up choosing between protection that stings and protection that looks chalky, and a lot of them stop reapplying.
All-mineral protection that keeps up with you.
UV Active uses only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and still holds for 80 minutes in water and sweat. The transparent zinc oxide blends in rather than sitting on the surface, the texture is oil-free and non-comedogenic, and EltaMD describes it as hypoallergenic and suitable for children and adults, so one tube covers the whole family for a day outside.

EltaMD UV Active SPF 50+: 100% mineral sun protection built for movement
EltaMD UV Active Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is the brand's all-mineral sunscreen for active days: running, hiking, swimming, golf and long afternoons outside. It protects with 19% transparent zinc oxide and 4% titanium dioxide and nothing else, so there are no chemical filters in the formula, and it is water resistant for 80 minutes.
EltaMD formulates UV Active with antioxidants, knotgrass extract and jojoba esters, and states that it offers high-energy visible (HEV) light protection alongside broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage. It is fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested, and it works on face and body. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why UV Active SPF 50+ Stands Out
- Only mineral filters. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the entire filter system. If your skin or eyes object to chemical filters during exercise, that is the point of this formula.
- 80 minutes of water resistance. The highest water resistance rating a sunscreen label can carry in the US. EltaMD states it will not rinse off in water, drip or sting the eyes.
- Face and body in one tube. The 3 oz size is carry-on friendly and the oil-free, non-comedogenic texture is light enough for the face, so you do not need a second product in your gym bag.
- More than filters. Knotgrass extract, jojoba esters and vitamin E add antioxidant support, and EltaMD lists HEV light protection among the benefits.
