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.

- KMKatherine M.Verified Buyer54 minutes agoRated 4 out of 5 starsWorks well
I asked staff why it’s not 50 instead it’s 41. They have no idea why they are using 41 instead. Isn’t 50 better. It works fine but I would rather have 50
KSKaramMD Skin24 seconds agoHi, Katherine!
Thank you for your honest review. The EltaMD Tinted SPF 41 is a mineral sunscreen formulated with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide — the gold standard in broad-spectrum protection.
The tint isn't just cosmetic. The Iron Oxides in the formula provide additional defense against visible light and blue light, which standard SPF 50 chemical sunscreens don't offer.It also includes skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate & Tocopherol), Bisabolol, Carnosine, and Ginger Root Extract — antioxidants and calming agents that actively support your skin while protecting it.
SPF 41 vs. 50 is a much smaller difference than it sounds . SPF 41 blocks ~97.6% of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocks ~98%. What truly sets this formula apart is the quality of ingredients and the added protection from visible light that a plain SPF 50 simply can't match.

Love this product! Excellent for mature skin!! Not greasy, doesn’t cake or settle. I don’t wear foundation. This is all I need. Great sun protection. Highly recommend. Wish I’d started using it sooner. I’m 56.
