What the gurus are saying

Gurus love this sunscreen as a reliable mineral option with a creamy, hydrating texture and universally flattering tint. It's particularly praised for those with hyperpigmentation due to its iron oxide blend, which blocks visible light in addition to UV rays. The formula is appreciated for feeling moisturizing while delivering genuine physical sun protection.

"The EltaMD UV Elements has been a holy grail for a long time. I just really love how this goes on with a very creamy texture, it feels hydrating with the perfect amount of coverage. This one is a purely physical blocker, mineral blocker, zinc oxide 10, titanium dioxide 5.5, and it really has a wonderful tint that's universally flattering. It also contains hyaluronic acid so it gives you a little bit of that hydration and helps you retain moisture as well."
