EltaMD UV AOX Mist Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a 100% mineral sunscreen spray for face and body. The only active is 14% zinc oxide, and it is delivered by air-powered technology rather than chemical propellants. Vitamins C and E sit alongside the filter, working on the free radicals behind photoaging. It sprays on visible and dries down clear, so you can see exactly where you have covered.
Product Details
The AOX in the name is the antioxidants. Vitamin C and vitamin E work on premature aging while the zinc oxide reflects and scatters UVA and UVB, which is a combination most sprays do not carry. Being air-powered rather than propellant-driven means there is no aerosol chemistry in the can, and it sprays at any angle. The 5 oz size covers face and body. Browse the EltaMD active range for the rest of the outdoor lineup.
