EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+

The EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is a high-performance sunscreen engineered specifically for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs sun protection that holds up to sweat, water, and intense activity. Water-resistant for the maximum FDA-allowable 80 minutes, this formula won't run into your eyes, won't sting, and won't degrade with motion - making it the trusted choice for runners, golfers, swimmers, cyclists, and outdoor workers in Charlotte's humid climate.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, we recommend UV Sport to clients with active lifestyles who consistently report regular sunscreens failing them - stinging eyes, melting under sweat, leaving a tacky finish. UV Sport solves all of it. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula glides on cleanly, doesn't pill, and offers full broad-spectrum protection that's perfect for full-body application before heading outside.
