EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 — 3 oz Water & Sweat Resistant 80-Min, Zinc Oxide

EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 is a fast-absorbing, zinc-oxide sunscreen lotion that provides broad-spectrum protection and stays water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Designed for active days outdoors, this oil-free sunscreen blends transparent zinc oxide into a lightweight lotion that rubs in quickly without leaving a white cast. It’s formulated to be used on wet or dry skin, spreads easily, and is free of fragrance and common irritants, making it appropriate for many skin types. Reapply after heavy sweating or swimming to maintain protection.

How does this sunscreen perform during vigorous activity?

EltaMD UV Sport was formulated for motion — it resists water and sweat so it won’t run into eyes or slide off during exercise. The non-greasy texture lets you reapply quickly between events and won’t feel heavy under gear or clothing.

• Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Applies to wet or dry skin without dripping
• Non-greasy, fast-absorbing lotion suitable under helmets and apparel

Will it leave a white cast on darker skin tones?

This formula uses transparent zinc oxide that disperses evenly, minimizing visible residue when massaged in completely. Because it’s designed to absorb rapidly, most users notice little to no whitening after application.

• Transparent zinc oxide base for reduced whitening
• Lightweight lotion that blends into the skin
• Works well on face and body when rubbed in thoroughly

Is it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

EltaMD UV Sport is free of fragrance and many common irritants and is non-comedogenic, so it’s intended to minimize pore-clogging and irritation. Still, always patch-test if you have highly reactive skin or specific allergies.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free formulation
• Non-comedogenic to help reduce pore congestion
• Dermatologist-developed and broadly recommended for various skin types

How should I apply and reapply for best protection?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin about 15 minutes before sun exposure, rubbing the lotion in until it’s evenly distributed. Reapply every two hours during normal activity and immediately after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating to maintain SPF coverage.

• Use a generous amount to cover face and full body areas
• Reapply every two hours or after 80 minutes in water/sweat
• Can be applied to damp skin for quick touch-ups outdoors

Who is this for: Athletes, outdoor workers, families, and active travelers who need a reliable, broad-spectrum sunscreen that performs during high-movement activities. It’s built for people who want strong SPF protection without a heavy feel, and for those who prefer a fragrance-free, dermatologist-developed option that wears well during sports, water activities, and long outdoor days.
