EltaMD UV Pure Face and Body Sunscreen, SPF 47 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Kids and Adults, Water Resistant Up to 80 Minutes, Oil Free Zinc Oxide Formula

Our dermatologist recommended EltaMD mineral sunscreen and I ordered this for my husband to use daily. After trying it myself, I find it an excellent sunscreen. While it does go on with a bit of a white cast, this fades as it is absorbed and feels nice on the skin. There is no sticky sunscreen feel, even after wearing for hours.

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.

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.

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

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 read up many positive and negative reviews before buying this product. I was looking for a light moisturizer, contains a high level of SPF, and that it would not compromise my makeup foundation. I risked and ordered it anyway. To be fair for the product maker and with a sense of integrity, I don't understand how someone could lie by writing bad reviews for this product. I used 3 (apple seed size) drops on my face, 3 drops on my neck and chest, 2 drops in each arm at a time. I gently rub it into my skin and for the record, it does NOT leave white filming or streaks. The initial whiteness does disappear once it's absorbed into your skin. I believe most people with negative reviews are using too large of the amount. I love how it just soaked into my skin, does not sting my eyes like other product with high SPF content. But most importantly, I love it because it is a non-greasy and sticky product. I love the smoothness on both of my arms. Great product for face, neck, and body. I highly recommend it.

This is what my dermatologist recommended. It is easy to apply. I use it almost daily. Doesn't irritate my face. Highly recommend.

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.

I've tried many physical sunscreens for oily skin (without alcohol) and I'll always come back to this. The best part is probably the transparent zinc, which makes the white cast hardly noticeable (I'm a fair-skinned East Asian) when set. Texture wise, it's not gonna be that gummy silicone paste that sucks your skin dry a la SuperGoop or Innisfree.

He probado varias cremas de protección mineral sin color, desde un avene leche mineral, grasosa y con feo aroma, isdin pediatrico de textura fluida pero muy muy blanca, umbrella mineral para piel sensible, dificil de untar y quitar, por ultimo colorescience corporal protege muy bien pero para retirar tienes que tallar bastante, todas dejan esa capa blanca, Elta md pure no deja ese blanco que se queda o transfiere en todas partes como las otras. Se absorbe muy bien fácil de repartir, la capa blanca es minúscula, soy tono morena clara, en una tez blanca no se notaria nada, no reseca y tampoco es grasosa. Si me la coloco en la cara con un poquito de maquillaje se difumina lo poco blanco que queda y no arde nada en los ojos. La recomiendo hasta en pieles mixtas y grasas, para piel seca con otra crema hidratante antes de usar esta bastaría. Cuerpo y cara es genial. No la he usado en playa, así no se si la resistencia al agua sea duradera.

Yes, it is ghost white But it also saved my irratated skin, my skin can't bear any chemical sunscreen In addition, if you wait 20-30min, the ghost white willl disappear and if you use some brown loose powder it will look just like natural

Very nice texture as well compared to the Elements. Does leave a white cast but not ghostly white after rubbing in but then again it will depend on individual skin tones. For darker skin tones, not gonna work I'm afraid. For outdoor it works great and it doesn't break me out. Do double cleanse when removing it.

Me agrada que tienen los 2 minerales el zinc y titanio y en relación a costo y cantidad de producto estan por arriba de otros que tienen los 2 ingredientes, solo hay que untarlo bien para que se desvanezca y no se vea blanca la piel, muy buen producto
