EltaMD UV Pure Face and Body Sunscreen, SPF 47 Mineral Sunscreen for Kids and Adults, Water Resistant Up to 80 Minutes, Oil Free Zinc Oxide Formula

Absolutely what I needed. Does not leave a white film and provides great protection. Can be a little drying, so use a moisturizer underneath. Don't listen to the negative reviews, give it a try.

So far so good with this mineral sunscreen! I have have a photo-allergy with most chemical sunscreen ingredients, meaning once I step out into the sun, I develop a rash. The only sunscreen ingredients I can use without a reaction are Zinc and Titanium Dioxide. I have spend hundreds of dollars trying out different mineral sunscreen formulations, and have mostly been disappointed. I've never been burnt by one, but they ALL either are too hard to rub in, and/or leave a white/purple cast. Until this sunscreen, I had been using Juice Beauty Sport, which I appreciate the high % of Zinc in, but was always too greasy and left just a bit too much white cast. So far I am very happy with this formula, its scent-free, not too greasy, mineral-only, and does not leave a white cast when you rub it in! The price is also great, considering most mineral sunscreens tend to be even more expensive than this one. Im glad it has a good EWG rating, and is on the recommended list, but I do wish it was zinc only rather than a combo with Titanium Dioxide. That is my only complaint, otherwise I'm happy! **For reference, I have light olive-toned skin, so I am not sure how this would do on darker skin tones, but it doesn't seem to leave any sort of even subtle tint on my skin.

First, I don't understand the negative reviews unless people don't know how to apply the product. It's a professional grade sunscreen; a small amount goes a long way. You don't apply near your eyes/eyelids. Once it's on it doesn't budge. This is the very best sunscreen for those who burn extremely easily. Meaning, the lightest of light complexions. Think 'porcelain fair' it doesn't break you out, but can have a slight whitish cast upon application which dissipates quickly. It's a true skin saver when you are prone to burning. This is the first time I've ever purchased a sunscreen at full price; as an esthetician I'm willing to pay full price; it's that good

I’m using this product as it is listed as pregnancy safe. There aren’t that many sunscreens that are pregnancy safe, this is a decent option. The white cast is prominent in the beginning of application but fades with a bit of time. If you are sensitive to smells, this product does have a scent so be aware of that. Like other sunscreens, you have to make sure to shake the bottle to mix the product before you dispense it, otherwise it will be a lot of oil coming out. Overall it’s a decent sunscreen, but I probably would not use it if I wasn’t pregnant

This is becoming my favorite sunscreen. I've tried about 5 mineral facial SPFs so far, and this is a good non-comedogenic one. It takes a few seconds of rubbing in to get that transparency on the face, but after enough rubbing, it leaves the skin glowing and moisturized all day( reapply as needed). Will purchase again.

My doctor recommended this product after a surgery. Super lightweight and my face looks radiants and does't feels a greasy at all.

My dermatologist recommended this brand , now I will not use anything else. I suffer with melasma, so this product protects my face from any unwanted exposure.

This sunscreen was recommended by Dr. Dray on youtube. I bought this for use only on my face. (I prefer mineral sunscreen for my face because I sweat and chemical sunscreens get in my eyes and it stings.) PROS This sunscreen works well. It is both rub proof and sweat proof as claimed and seems to do a good job of protecting my skin. (My complexion is fair to medium and tans easily. I go for daily long walks and this seems to prevent me from getting any color.) I have normal skin - neither dry nor oily, and I have not experienced any breakouts or other skin problems. It's a little more moisturizing than most sunscreens, but wouldn't replace moisturizer for those with dry skin. There is no noticeable fragrance. CONS Despite the "transparent zinc oxide" label, the white cast is INTENSE. It makes my skin glow a ghostly white in all lighting situations, and after exercising, it is even worse. (I assume that's because the sunscreen is coming up out of my pores with the sweat.) I mainly bought this because my regular tinted Australian Gold sunscreen was dirtying my mask and I wanted something non-tinted and lightly moisturizing. I'll finish off the bottle because this does the job and half my face is covered with the mask anyway. However, I won't buy this again. If we're still wearing masks by the time I use this up, I'll have to find another option that doesn't make me glow in the dark. This product is probably fine for kids and for the body, but for me, it's too expensive to use as an every day body sunscreen. I prefer less expensive chemical sunblock for that.
