What does the SPF value on sunscreen mean?
SPF or sunburn protection factor indicates the UVB/sunburn protection provided by sunscreen. The SPF value indicates the level of sunburn protection provided by the sunscreen product. All sunscreens must be tested according to an SPF test procedure. The test measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure it takes to cause sunburn when a person is using a sunscreen in comparison to how much UV exposure it takes to cause sunburn when they do not use a sunscreen. The product is then labeled with the appropriate SPF value indicating the amount of sunburn protection provided by the product. Higher SPF values provide greater sunburn protection. Because SPF values are determined from a test that measures protection against sunburn caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, SPF values only indicate a sunscreen’s UVB protection. However, sunscreens that pass the new broad-spectrum test will have demonstrated that they also provide ultraviolet A (UVA) protection that is proportional to their UVB protection.
Why is zinc oxide used in EltaMD sunscreens?
Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that is safe even on the most sensitive skin, including post-procedure skin and even that of children 6 months or older. Zinc oxide blocks UVB (burning) and UVA (aging) rays that have been linked to photoaging and skin cancer.
What does "broad-spectrum" mean on sunscreens?
The broad-spectrum test measures a product’s ultraviolet A (UVA) protection relative to its ultraviolet B (UVB) protection. Sunscreens that pass this test may be labeled as “Broad-Spectrum SPF (value)” on the front of their label. For broad-spectrum sunscreens, SPF values also indicate the amount or magnitude of overall protection. Broad-Spectrum SPF products with SPF valued higher than 15 provide greater protection and may claim additional uses. Only broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF value of 15 or higher can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging if used as directed with other sun protection measures. Non-broad-spectrum sunscreens and broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF value between 2 and 14 can only claim to help prevent sunburn.

I wanted to love it , but it burns my eyes. Apparently I'm too sensitive!
KSKaramMD Skin1 hour agoHi, Darla! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear this wasn’t the right fit for your eyes. The eye area can be especially sensitive, and while many people love this formula, individual sensitivities can definitely vary.
We truly appreciate you giving it a try, and we always recommend avoiding application too close to the eyes if irritation occurs. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it with us.

I can feel and see real results with these products.
- SBSally B.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSo lightweight!
This sunscreen is so lightweight you might feel too exposed to the sun. BUT I can tell you it is like a lightweight armor. I have sensitive skin, and am on medications that make me more susceptible to burning. This is the only sunscreen I used on my trip to Anna Maria Island and I was never even pink. No burn, no tight skin, no damage! Will continue using without hesitation! Great product!
KSKaramMD Skin4 weeks agoHi Sally! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that EltaMD UV Sheer was your perfect sun protection companion on Anna Maria Island! You described it perfectly as "lightweight armor"! It's wonderful to know that you felt completely confident and protected throughout your entire trip. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience and for trusting us to keep your skin safe! ✨

Sunscreen is critical for protecting skin health by blocking harmful Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes DNA damage. Daily use reduces the risk of skin cancers like melanoma by up to 50%. It prevents premature aging, such as wrinkles, leathery skin, and dark spots, while also preventing painful sunburns.
I feel better when I apply Elta MD UV Sheer Broad Spectrum Spf 50 + Sheer Sunscreen because it allows me to feel better about being outdoors without getting burnt.
