Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Body Mist 3x5 oz — Dry-Touch, Broad-Spectrum Protection

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 is a lightweight, dry-touch body mist that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in an invisible, non-greasy finish.

Designed for everyday sun defense, this three-pack of 5 oz sprays combines Helioplex technology with Dry-Touch feel and Vitamin E to protect skin while remaining fast-absorbing and shine-free. The mist format offers quick, even application for face and body when used as directed, and the formula is made without PABA, parabens, dyes, oxybenzone, or octinoxate. Water-resistant up to 80 minutes, it’s made to keep up with outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, and beach days.

How effective is this spray at protecting skin outdoors?

The SPF 30 formula provides reliable protection against sunburn-causing UVB rays and uses Helioplex to stabilize broad-spectrum UVA filters for extended defense. It’s water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which helps maintain protection during sweat or brief water exposure. Reapplication after swimming, sweating, or toweling is recommended for continuous coverage.

• Active filters: Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene
• SPF 30 broad-spectrum coverage
• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes
• Reapply at least every 2 hours or after water exposure

Will the spray leave a greasy feel or white cast?

No — Dry-Touch technology ensures the mist absorbs quickly into skin for a matte, non-greasy finish with no noticeable white residue. The lightweight formula layers easily under makeup or over daily skincare, and the invisible result works across a range of skin tones. For facial use, spray into hands first and then pat onto the face to avoid inhaling aerosol.

• Fast-absorbing Dry-Touch texture
• Non-comedogenic, suitable for face and body when applied properly
• No white cast, smooth shine-free base
• Mild, pleasant scent that’s not overpowering

Is this safe for sensitive or reef-conscious use?

The formulation avoids PABA, parabens, dyes, oxybenzone, and octinoxate, aligning with certain reef-conscious regulations like Hawaii Act 104. It’s enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E and is non-comedogenic, but if you have very sensitive or reactive skin, test a small area first. Always consult product labeling for full ingredient details and safety instructions.

• PABA, paraben, and dye-free
• Oxybenzone and octinoxate-free (Hawaii Act 104 compliant)
• Includes antioxidant Vitamin E for skin support
• Non-comedogenic; patch test if needed

How should I use this spray for best results?

Apply generously before sun exposure and evenly across all exposed skin. For the face, spray into your palms and then gently pat on to avoid inhalation. Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying, and follow the label’s timing recommendations for continuous protection.

• Shake well; hold can 4–6 inches from skin when spraying
• Spray into hands for facial application
• Reapply every 2 hours or after water/sweat exposure
• Use the full recommended amount for effective SPF coverage
