EltaMD UV Pure is a 100% mineral, broad-spectrum SPF 47 sunscreen formulated for the whole family — gentle enough for babies over 6 months and ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, and combination skin types. Its lightweight, photostable formula glides on effortlessly and absorbs quickly, delivering reliable UVA and UVB protection without irritation.
Why It Works: Formulated with transparent zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — two photostable mineral actives that reflect and scatter UV rays — plus Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C ester) to neutralise free radicals and help defend against visible signs of ageing.

Responsible Person:Needed a pregnancy safe mineral-only SPF so grabbed this. It’s quite nice, not greasy and sinks in fast. It hasn’t caused breakouts or clogged pores yet. It’s also a bigger bottle than the UV Clear I was previously using which is nice. Knocked off one star as it does leave a pretty strong white cast, on me this sinks in after about 10 minutes but my skin is quite pale so may not work for all skin tones.
Really nice sun protection. I react to so
many sunscreens, delighted to have found one which works at last.
We used this as family sunscreen in very hot holiday weather. Absolutely excellent. High water resistance too. Have repurchased already
Great for the kids face
