Ingredients

Featured Ingredients

Glycerin

A natural or synthetic substance that attracts water to skin or hair. Also known as glycerine.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

A cactus plant-based substance that lends anti-inflammatory properties and soothes the skin. Also known as aloe vera.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

A stable form of vitamin C that stimulates healthy collagen production and helps minimize wrinkles.

Tocopheryl Acetate

A form of antioxidant vitamin E that helps protect the skin from UV damage and prevent free radical formation.

Zinc Oxide

A physical sunscreen agent that protects skin from UVA and UVB exposure by deflecting the sun's rays.

Directions

The bottle is unlocked when the nozzle is visible. It takes two twists to fully open. Just think: Click, click, spray.

Press the cap firmly to activate the air-powered spray. Apply to skin liberally and evenly, holding the container 4 to 6 inches from the skin. Do not spray the product directly onto the face. Instead, spray onto the hands then rub into to the face.

It’s best practice to apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, or at least every 2 hours. We recommend you do not apply in windy conditions. Also, use in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhalation.

Tips For Spraying: 

  • When unlocking the nozzle, please ensure the nozzle is completely unlocked. Twist until it cannot be twisted anymore. Ensure you can see the orifice before spraying to ensure it is fully unlocked. Note that you have to hear two clicks when you open the nozzle before you can spray.
  • Press firmly to activate this air-powered spray and ensure your finger is placed onto the center of the nozzle
  • After use, we recommend occasionally clean the nozzle head to ensure product does not dry on the outside of the orifice

Sun Protection Measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a Broad Spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:

  • Limit time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
  • Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses
  • Ask a physician before using children under 6 months

Protect this product from excessive heat and direct sun.

Silky smooth mineral SPF!

My dermatologist recommended this because she advises wearing only mineral sunscreens. This one does not leave a mess everywhere you go and on your clothing--it actually seems to absorb into the skin even though it really should only be sitting on top of your skin. In any case, this is the best mineral sunscreen. The only downside is that it's an aerosol, so you have to spray it into your palm and then apply unless you want it spraying everywhere, and technically, you can't bring it on a plane. It's still the best mineral product out there that I know of.

Mineral sunscreen that you can actually remove!!!

Love this!! I only use mineral sunscreens and I swim in the ocean and outdoor pools, usually for about an hour. Then it seems I spend another hour double cleaning and double cleansing to get sunscreen off! This actually come off with minimal scrubbing. The labels says it last 40 minutes in the water, but it stays on longer for me and I can always reapply if needed.

good sunscreen

Shake well, spray on your hands and spread it out! Since it comes out white, it is easy to see where you spread it and it blends in nicely. I mainly use it on my arms and hands. It does not leave them greasy. This is a good sunscreen.

Best spray sunscreen

This is a nice mineral sunscreen that is formulated very nicely for rubbing in. It is moisturizing and doesn’t feel caked or drying when wearing. It definitely doesn’t feel greasy though. Highly recommend

Best sunscreen

I really love this sunscreen, only one I use for outdoor activities and sports. I like the spray and easy application, and best of all it has a high percentage of zinc oxide, which provides a great protection from the UV rays.

Awesome sun protection

I gave this 4 stars only because I end up having to rub it in a bit after spraying. After that, it’s the best protection ever! I’ve gotten my husband to be a believer too! I think it’s the best sun protection out there!!! I use the Elta face 365 days a year!! Melanoma runs in my family.

Good stuff

I like this product. It goes on nicely and doesn’t leave a white residue. You do need to rub it in. It leaves a pleasant moisture and sheen to your skin and it is an effective sunscreen. I have not had problems others have had with the spray mechanism. Read the instructions about “click click”..

My Favorite Face and Body SPF!

I am very excited about EltaMD UV AOX Mist Face & Body Broad Spectrum SPF 40! Fragrance free! Light and absorbs instantly. No residue. Easy to apply. And it works. I have very fair, sensitive skin. This is, by far, the best SPF product I have used. You will be pleased.

Ashy!!!

I was expecting so much from this brand since I love their other products. It leaves a horrible white cast. My legs and body looked so ashy. The worst white cast I’ve seen in a sunscreen. I agree with other reviewers, it is a very thick lotion not a mist. If I could return it I would but I didn’t use or notice it until it was too late, now I have all these useless sunscreens.

Great!

I purchased this for my husband to use on a trip to Hawaii. He loved it. Easy to apply and dried nicely. He ended up using the entire container. We are headed back in a few weeks and I have already ordered 2 to take on our trip.

Great skincare/suncare

I have used many suncare products from this line for my face and have been happy with all of them. I use this one specifically for my body and really like it. I tend to spray it into my hand and then rub it into my skin and I have never sprayed it on inside so I cannot speak to the issues others have mentioned. I find that it soaks in well and is moisturizing and provides good coverage.

Ella’s AOX Mist Sunscreen

I love how it applies. It is easy to blend into the skin. I’m hoping my skin loves the behind the scenes benefits of the antioxidant ingredients. Glad to ride along with Ella’s MD’s improvement and evolution of their sunscreen products.

Convenient

I love this spray sunscreen. I spray it on before I go walking or outside. Then I rub it into my skin in places that I need to. It’s convenient and faster than using a lotion.

full bottle. defective sprayer!

worst Elta purchase ever. Was excited by this sunscreen but spent a lot of money for product that I can't access due to defective sprayer. From other reviews, my experience does not seem unique!

Love the new UV AOX Mist!

This stuff is so far, my favorite. Bar none. Sprays directly into my hand, spreads evenly over my face and scalp (I'm military short hair cut, almost bald), and doesn't appear as "white" as the other sunscreens that seem to take forever before it blends in. This spray is AWESOME!!!

Worst Elta MD product ever

I was looking for a light sunscreen that I could use for every day use and thought this UV AOX Mist would be a great product to try as I love all of Elta MD's products that I have previously purchased. This is hands down the greasiest sunscreen I have ever bought. The product states it is a "mist" which is entirely inaccurate. This is a heavy lotion in a spray bottle. After I sprayed it on myself it left a white cast all over even after I tried rubbing it in. It looked and felt like I had rubbed Crisco all over my body. I wouldn't dare put this on my face due to it's thick consistency. It also creates an incredible greasy mess when you spray it and ends up everywhere. I could not wait to take a shower and wash this off. I returned this promptly. ICK!

HIGHLY PROTECTIVE

I really love this product. Please note that it does leave a white film on your skin but it's worth it - I DO NOT get sunburned when I use it !! You can trust that if you use it as directed you will be protected ... I love that rhyme .. LOL

Eltamd aox mist

Like the product leaves skin hydrated. It provides protection from sun. Sprayer works intermittently and sunscreen does not spray mist. Leaves a mess in bathroom - need to go to kitchen to apply.

Defective Spray Nozzles

I purchased two of these. The nozzle on both of them seems to be stuck and the product does not come out. I was able to get one of them to work after putting my entire body wait on the nozzle. I like the sunscreen, but they really need to fix the spray nozzle because one of the bottles has been entirely useless, as I cannot get the product out.
