EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is the previous formula of EltaMD's oil-free sunscreen for blemish-prone skin. It pairs 9% zinc oxide with 7.5% octinoxate for broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and carries niacinamide to reduce the appearance of blemishes and even out the look of skin tone. The texture is silky and fast-absorbing, with no white cast, and it sits under makeup without adding shine.

Product Details

EltaMD has since reformulated UV Clear to SPF 50, raising zinc oxide to 11% and cutting octinoxate to 3.5%. Nava still carries this SPF 46 version for anyone who prefers the original formula.

Key Benefits

• Niacinamide reduces the appearance of blemishes and evens out the look of skin tone.
• 9% zinc oxide does most of the filtering, with octinoxate covering the rest, so it stays sheer on darker skin without a cast.
• Lactic acid and sodium hyaluronate keep the finish comfortable rather than tight on skin that gets stripped by acne products.
• Vitamin E works on the free radicals that UV exposure generates.
• Oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores.
• The original formula, kept in stock for people who prefer it to the reformulated SPF 50.
