Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Protection
EltaMD UV Clear provides Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 protection to help protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays.
☀️ UVA rays are associated with premature visible skin aging.
🔥 UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn.
Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen as part of your daily routine helps protect exposed skin from both types of ultraviolet radiation.
Zinc Oxide-Based Sun Protection
The formula contains 9% zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen active ingredient that provides UVA and UVB protection.
The active sunscreen ingredients in this formula are:
🛡️ Zinc Oxide – 9.0%
☀️ Octinoxate – 7.5%
Together, these ingredients provide the product's broad-spectrum SPF 46 protection.
5% Niacinamide
UV Clear contains 5% niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3.
Niacinamide helps support the appearance of smoother, more even-looking skin and can help visibly improve:
✨ Uneven-looking skin tone
🌿 Blemishes
🤍 Discoloration
💧 Overall skin appearance
Its inclusion makes this sunscreen especially convenient for people who want sun protection that also complements a regular facial skin care routine.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The formula contains sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid.
This humectant helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a hydrated and comfortable skin feel.
It works alongside the other skin care ingredients in the formula without making the sunscreen unnecessarily heavy.
Vitamin E
EltaMD UV Clear also contains tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E).
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant within the formula and complements the sunscreen's daily skin care benefits.
Designed for Acne-Prone Skin
UV Clear is specifically formulated with blemish-prone and acne-prone skin in mind.
Its lightweight formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it is formulated not to clog pores.
This makes it suitable for daily sunscreen routines for people concerned about:
🌿 Acne-prone skin
✨ Blemishes
🫧 Oiliness
🤍 Uneven-looking skin tone
🌸 Sensitive skin
Lightweight & Oil-Free
