Broad-Spectrum Mineral Protection
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a 100% physical sunscreen that provides powerful broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb rays, this mineral formula sits on top of the skin and reflects them. It contains 9% Titanium Dioxide and 7% Zinc Oxide, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer chemical-filter-free products.
Formulated with Essential Ceramides
Like all CeraVe products, this face lotion is formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) to help restore and maintain the natural skin barrier. It also features hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and niacinamide to help calm the skin. This oil-free, non-comedogenic formula is allergy-tested and has received the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance and the Skin Cancer Foundation Daily Use Seal.
Tips for Application on Darker Skin
Mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a visible white cast, particularly on deeper skin tones prevalent in Nigeria. To minimize this, apply the sunscreen in small amounts and massage it thoroughly into the skin. Since it is a physical barrier, it remains effective as long as it is on the skin surface. If you are looking for a CeraVe sunscreen with a sheer finish, you may also consider the CeraVe Tinted Mineral Sunscreen or the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion.
