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.

- MBmonica b.Verified Buyer4 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsgreat sunscreen
another great product. broad spectrum production without the nauseating "aroma" or heavy texture of most sunscreens. I love the sheer sunscreen, the five-star review only applies to the sheer version. Not liking the the tinted product - it is pasty and thick
KSKaramMD Skin5 hours agoHi Monica! Thank you so much for this honest feedback, we really appreciate it.
We're so glad the sheer sunscreen has been such a hit for you, no heavy texture or overpowering scent is exactly what we aim for with that formula. Thank you also for sharing your thoughts on the tinted version, we'll be sure to pass that along to our team.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Warmly,
Customer Care - BABeth A. I.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 4 out of 5 starsNice
For a sunblock it’s pretty nice because it doesn’t feel caley on my face as many others have felt. It’s fairly thin and easy to smooth out across my face.

Best Sunscreen, I love it 🥰
- DWDeanne W.Verified Buyer2 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsExceptional quality!
I have not had luck in the past with finding a sunscreen that meets my needs such as providing protection and yet remain undetectable on my face. This sunscreen fits the bill!! I am very pleased with its sheerness with high SPF. I cannot even visibly tell that I've applied anything after it has been applied, and it does not change the way my face feels either. I love it!!
