EltaMD UV Restore Untinted Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 40, 48 g — Lightweight, Moisture-Restoring Daily Defense

EltaMD UV Restore Untinted is a 100% mineral SPF 40 facial sunscreen that protects skin from UVA/UVB rays while helping restore moisture and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

Engineered as a daily face sunscreen and moisturizer, EltaMD UV Restore Untinted combines broad-spectrum zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with skin-replenishing ingredients like squalane, ginger root extract, and saccharide isomerate. The lightweight, fragrance- and dye-free formula is non-comedogenic and formulated to be gentle on sensitive, mature, or sun-damaged skin. Use it as the last step of your morning routine to shield skin from further UV exposure while supporting texture and tone improvements over time.

How does this mineral sunscreen defend skin during everyday sun exposure?

UV Restore Untinted uses 100% mineral filters—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—to provide immediate, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Mineral actives sit on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UV radiation rather than being absorbed, offering effective sun defense the moment it is applied.

• SPF 40 broad-spectrum coverage for daily protection
• Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mineral filters
• Works immediately after application—no waiting period
• Lightweight lotion suitable under makeup or on its own

What skin benefits does the formula provide beyond sun protection?

Alongside mineral UV filters, the formula includes squalane to help restore moisture and maintain a supple feel. Ginger root extract and saccharide isomerate are included to help even skin texture and promote a healthier-looking complexion, targeting the visual signs that often accompany sun damage.

• Squalane replenishes hydration and improves skin feel
• Ginger root extract supports more balanced skin tone appearance
• Saccharide isomerate helps with smoother texture and moisture retention
• Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free for sensitive-prone skin

Can I wear EltaMD UV Restore under makeup or after other skincare steps?

Yes. Apply UV Restore as the final step in your morning routine after serums and moisturizer. Its lightweight, untinted finish layers well under foundation and won’t clog pores, making it practical for everyday wear and for those who prefer a non-greasy feel.

• Apply last in AM as your sunscreen step
• Compatible with makeup—serves as a smooth base
• Non-drying and suitable for frequent, daily use
• Free of dyes, parabens, and added fragrance

How is this product suited to mature or sun-damaged skin?

Formulated with ingredients that target signs of sun damage, UV Restore helps improve visible texture and discoloration while shielding the skin from further UV stress. The combination of mineral protection with moisturizing and texture-supporting actives is intended to help skin look healthier over time when used consistently.

• Designed to address visible sun-induced discoloration and roughness
• Gentle, dermatologist-recommended, and hypoallergenic formulation
• Helps maintain moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines
• Appropriate for daily use on sensitive, mature, or reactive skin types

Who this is for: EltaMD UV Restore Untinted SPF 40 is aimed at anyone looking for a physician-trusted mineral sunscreen that also supports improved skin texture and hydration—particularly people with mature, sun-damaged, sensitive, or discoloration-prone skin who want a lightweight, non-irritating option to wear daily under makeup or alone.
