What is EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+?
EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is an ultralight, mineral-based sunscreen for face and body that hydrates while it protects. It combines 15% transparent zinc oxide with 10% octocrylene and is water resistant for 80 minutes. Hyaluronic acid and squalane help retain moisture, vitamin C helps even skin tone, and the formula absorbs quickly with a transparent finish that does not ball up. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free and non-comedogenic. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Available at SkinCrew in 1.7 oz ($38) and 3 oz ($46).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
High-SPF, water-resistant sunscreens have a reputation for feeling heavy, greasy and obvious on the skin, and for pilling under anything layered on top. That is why so many people use a light daily formula that washes off the moment they sweat, and go without real protection on active days.
SPF 50+ that feels like nothing on.
UV Sheer is hydrating but not greasy, absorbs into all skin tones with no white cast, and helps soothe skin that feels heated. It holds for 80 minutes of water and sweat, so one tube works for the morning commute and the afternoon run. Antioxidants add protection against free radicals associated with UV, infrared and high-energy visible light.

EltaMD UV Sheer SPF 50+: weightless, water-resistant protection for face and body
EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ provides protection against UVA and UVB rays in an ultralight lotion that is water resistant for 80 minutes. It absorbs quickly into the skin with a transparent finish and does not ball up, and it is hydrating yet not greasy.
The actives are 15% transparent zinc oxide and 10% octocrylene. Sodium hyaluronate and plant-derived squalane help retain and restore moisture, and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a form of vitamin C, provides antioxidant protection and helps even skin tone. UV Sheer is fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, in 1.7 fl oz and 3 fl oz sizes. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why UV Sheer SPF 50+ Stands Out
- Weightless at SPF 50+. A sheer lotion that absorbs quickly, with a transparent finish on all skin tones.
- Water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes. The highest water resistance rating a sunscreen label can carry in the US.
- Hydrating. Hyaluronic acid and squalane help retain and restore moisture, so high SPF does not mean dry skin.
- Face and body. Non-comedogenic and light enough for the face, in a tube big enough for the body.
