Reviews For EltaMD UV Active Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Mineral Full Body Sunscreen
Sticky, Thick and Works Like a Charm
For regular, daily use, I prefer a lighter mineral body sunscreen (the EltaMD UV Pure) but this stuff is my go-to when I'm in the water or working up a sweat. It has a bit of a white cast but it's a fair trade off for how well it stays in place to protect your skin. I have some dark scarring I am maniacal about protecting so that it doesn't get worse and this sunscreen is what I chose to protect that area.

Good sunscreen
EltaMD is one of my favorite brands. This is good sunscreen but not always as absorbent on my arms as I would prefer

Pretty good
For a water resistant mineral body spf this is pretty good. I prefer hybrid sunscreens for my body because they soak in better but this is a good mineral option.

Blends well enough for a mineral product
I tried to only use mineral sunscreens, I have yet to find a body sunscreen without the whiteness. But this is decent and offers good protection.

Does the trick—but SO thick!
I bought this product when I was going on a swimming vacation where I’d be in the open ocean for hours each day. It definitely protected me, but I don’t think it’s a good product for every day use. Any of the other Elta MD 50 SPF products would be better for every day.

Good sunscreen
This cream provides a good protection against UV rays and it is safe for kids. My family and I used it at the beach on a sunny day and didn’t get any sunburn. It needs blending to prevent the white cast.

Does the job
I needed a good zinc sunscreen that would withstand the Florida heat and sweat. This water resistant sunscreen provides protection and doesn’t come off when sweating. The only downside is it is thicker and leaves more of a white cast than my other zinc sunscreens.

Nice Body Sunscreen
I use this product primarily for my neck, decollate, and arms every day. The cream is a bit thick, but it does rub in clear. (I have medium-fair skin.) I like that it has no scent, and I find this sunscreen effective.

Good but leaves a white cast
I use this on my face for workouts because I find chemical sunscreens make my face red. I am pale and this still leaves an obvious white cast. I don't mind it for workouts but would not use as an everyday sunscreen. I do not like it on the body because I feel like it stains my clothes and is hard to rub in. It works well for the purpose I am using it for and may repurchase it but I only use it on the face for running and biking.

No white cast!
Rubs in easily and no white cast left showing. It is moisturizer instead of drying like so many other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried.

Really good sunscreen
I first tried this sunscreen as a sample from another purchase. I have fair skin that burns and peels. I’ll try anything with a higher SPF rating. I’ve learned that just getting a higher number doesn’t guarantee a good sunscreen. A different brand had 100 SPF and I had a terrible reaction. I like this for my face which is very sensitive. I took off one star because the whiteish tinge to my skin makes me look like an aging movie star trying to reclaim her glory. Mostly I don’t care because I want the protection. But it’s pretty hard to rub all the way in. Almost perfect.

Elta MD active SPF50
Like this product, it is a bit heavier going on than the SPF30 lotion and does give a slight milky tone....but it does the trick and lasts well! I would prob buy again.

Great Protection But Difficult to Blend
This mineral sunscreen is a great summer staple for when you don't have time to pre-apply. My dermatologist highly recommends this brand, and this product in particular. My only complaint is that it goes on white and resists blending in - you really have to work at it. I have the small bottle of the clear for my face and it blends in great. Wish it was available in a larger size for whole-body use.

eltaMD uv active spf 50+
This is a nice product BUT tube size is way too small. Supposed to be for all over but if you use the correct amount it would be gone in 1-2 uses!

EltaMD Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ Full-Body Sunscreen
I’ve used EltaMD facial sunscreen for years and have been extremely satisfied with it, so I thought I would try the full-body sunscreen. I am very please with this product. Since I play golf and tennis, I wanted a product with zinc oxide that would protect my hands and forearms. EltaMD full-body sunscreen definitely does the job.

Good sunscreen
Not my favorite EltaMD sunscreen. Leaves a white cast that takes some time to disappear. I love most EltaMD sunscreens and use many. I use the heavier ones on my neck and chest. It’s a great body sunscreen not so much for face.

Hard to rub in
This is a good sunscreen it is very thick and hard to run in but the ingredients and efficiency is great.
