EltaMD UV Daily Deep Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

The EltaMD UV Daily Deep Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a sheer, lightweight, moisturizing facial sunscreen formulated and tested specifically for medium-deep to deep skin tones. With hyaluronic acid for sustained hydration and a deep universal tint that blends seamlessly into melanin-rich skin, UV Daily Deep Tinted solves one of the most persistent gaps in dermatology-grade sunscreen, a daily face SPF that doesn't leave a white or ashy cast on deeper complexions.

Who It Is For: Clients with medium-deep to deep skin tones who want a daily-wear tinted sunscreen that protects, hydrates, and disappears into the complexion. Especially curated for anyone frustrated by sunscreens that turn ashy or chalky on melanin-rich skin.

Key Benefits: Broad-spectrum SPF 40 with micronized zinc oxide for daily UVA + UVB defense. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture for a hydrated, plump complexion. Invisible Blend Technology delivers a deep universal tint that blends seamlessly into deeper skin tones, with no white or ashy cast. Sheer, lightweight, non-greasy texture wears beautifully alone or under makeup. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, and noncomedogenic.

How It Fits Your Routine: Apply liberally as the final step of your morning skincare routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use approximately 1/4 teaspoon for face and neck, then blend into the skin for a sheer, natural-tinted finish. Reapply at least every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Pair with EltaMD UV Daily Tinted SPF 40 (regular shade) to round out your deep-skin-tone sun-protection wardrobe.

Why We Love It at Le Petit Spa: We hear from clients with deeper skin tones, again and again, that most tinted sunscreens leave them looking ashy or gray. This is the one we reach for instead - the universal deep tint genuinely disappears into medium-deep and deep complexions, and the hyaluronic acid keeps it from ever feeling chalky or drying. It's the daily SPF we wish had existed for these skin tones years ago.
