Why choose this product

Advanced Formulation for Indian Conditions

EltaMD UV Sheer SPF 50+ sunscreen leverages a blend of mineral (Zinc Oxide) and chemical (Octocrylene) filters for robust broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense. Its formula is designed to be water and sweat-resistant for 80 minutes, a critical feature for India's humid climate and active lifestyles. Unlike many local sunscreens that can feel heavy or leave a significant white cast, this product absorbs quickly to provide a matte finish without clogging pores. It's formulated without oil, fragrance, parabens, or dyes, making it suitable even for sensitive and irritated skin. Sourced directly from authorized US retailers and brand partners, each unit is factory-sealed and imported per order, ensuring you receive an authentic product with all customs duties and GST pre-paid.

Ideal for Sensitive Skin & Makeup Wearers

This sunscreen is best for individuals with sensitive, irritated, or acne-prone skin due to its oil-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic properties. It's also highly recommended for those who wear makeup daily, as it dries to a matte finish and doesn't cause pilling or interfere with foundation application. Those with extremely dry skin might find it slightly tightening after several hours, and while it aims for a sheer finish, individuals with very deep skin tones may observe a subtle white cast initially. If you require a purely mineral sunscreen without any chemical filters, or if you prefer a product with a more dewy finish, other options might be more suitable.

How to use

Dispense approximately 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen onto your fingertips. Ensure the product is held upright to prevent leakage before dispensing. — Apply Generously
Apply the sunscreen evenly across all exposed areas of the face and body 15 minutes before sun exposure. Gently spread to ensure full coverage. — Even Application
Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, or immediately after towel drying. Reapply at least every 2 hours for continuous sun protection. — Reapply as Needed
