EltaMD UV AOX Mist Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

The EltaMD UV AOX Mist Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a reimagined sunscreen spray experience - a sheer-finish 100% mineral sunscreen spray enriched with antioxidants for free radical defense plus broad-spectrum UV protection. Designed for elegant reapplication throughout the day (especially over makeup), UV AOX Mist solves the universal sunscreen problem: nobody reapplies because regular sunscreens disrupt makeup, feel greasy, or require taking your makeup off and starting over.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, we love this product because it makes the most important sunscreen behavior - reapplication every 2 hours - actually realistic. The fine, even mist sets makeup, refreshes complexion, and reapplies SPF in 5 seconds without disrupting anything underneath. It's also exceptional as a makeup-setting finishing spray for clients who want their SPF protection to do double duty.

How to Use
Shake well, then press the cap firmly to activate the air-powered spray. Hold the container 4-6 inches from skin and mist liberally and evenly, avoiding direct application to the face - spray into hands first, then pat onto the face if preferred. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply over makeup throughout the day, especially after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the spray.

FAQ

Can I really reapply this over my makeup?
Yes - that's exactly what it's designed for. The fine, sheer mist refreshes SPF without disturbing foundation, concealer, or powder underneath.

Does it leave a white cast?
No. Despite being 100% mineral, UV AOX Mist has a sheer, transparent finish.

Can I spray it directly on my face?
The manufacturer recommends spraying into your hands first, then applying to the face, to avoid inhaling the mist or getting it in your eyes.

Is this a replacement for my morning sunscreen?
It works best as a reapplication and makeup-setting tool throughout the day, layered over your regular morning SPF rather than replacing it.

How often should I reapply?
Every 2 hours during sun exposure, or after 40 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating.

Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes - the 100% mineral, oil-free formula is well tolerated by sensitive and acne-prone skin types.
