The sheer formula was developed with micronized technology to help disperse minerals evenly for easy application, and the non-greasy formula won't clog pores. Formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad spectrum sun protection and soothing vitamin E to comfort the skin, this sheer sunscreen locks in lasting hydration to help prevent against the drying effects of the sun. CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is hypoallergenic, fragrance free and paraben free, and designed to be gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Review: Great Moisturizing Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin! - Yes, this leaves a white cast - that's what mineral sunscreens do! If you don't like it, don't use a mineral sunscreen. This is way cheaper than the Cetaphil mineral sunscreen specifically for face, but I don't notice a difference. If you dot small amounts over your face and blend with a sponge, it can minimize the white cast and make it easier to blend. Looks great under makeup, non-greasy, and moisturizing enough that I don't have to layer it on top of a full moisturizer, just my usual morning serum. Highly recommend! Also packs pretty easily into a medium sized purse or beach bag so you can reapply as needed on the go. No pilling under makeup, neutral scent, I love it! Will be buying again when I run out - which might take a while since you get so much for your money! Review: Love this! But it requires common sense! - Okay so I need to start by saying I’m a WOC and I’m like milk Chocolate brown. Yes, this leaves a white cast but I wear this everyday as my daily face sunscreen and I’ve avoided the “white face” by a very easy little step. LESS IS MORE! I think every one who is using this and complaining about a white cast is using the amount you would use for normal chemically sunscreen. I literally use a pea size maybe smaller and rub it into my hands and then pat my face, ears and neck( front and back). That tiny amount is enough to cover me comfortably and not leave my upper body with “white face”. So all the reviews especially other POC or anyone with darker skin, USE LESS PRODUCT! You’ll thank me! Also, if it’s not obvious you have to really rub this in, I use my hands but I’ve seen people use a makeup brush or a beauty blender sponge. ## Features - CETAPHIL SHEER MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 50: Nourishes sensitive skin while providing hydrating, chemical free sun protection - MICROBIOME GENTLE FORMULA: Locks in moisture to hydrate and protect skin's delicate microbiome - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: Vitamin E acts as a soothing antioxidant to help protect skin from surface free radicals and other environmental stressors like harsh or over drying conditions. - NON-GREASY, LIGHTWEIGHT FORMULA: Blends quickly into the skin without leaving a white cast or greasy residue and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes - REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN: This product is a reef friendly sunscreen. - TRAVEL SIZE SUNSCREEN: This product is under 3.4 fl oz, making it easy to take with you on your next vacation or trip ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09RQBBMX8 | | ASIN | B09RQBBMX8 | | Active Ingredients | Titanium Dioxide 4.9%, Zinc Oxide 4.7%, vitamin_e | | Additional Features | Unscented | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #605 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #17 in Facial Sunscreens | | Brand Name | Cetaphil | | Color | No Color | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (1,448) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00302994122004 | | Item Dimensions | 6.4 x 2.35 x 1.3 inches | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Volume | 3 Fluid Ounces | | Item model number | 0299.412200 | | Manufacturer | Galderma | | Manufacturer | Galderma | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0299.412200 | | Material Type Free | Chemical Free | | Model Number | 0299.412200 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Size Name | 3 oz | | Product Benefits | Antioxidant, Hydrating, Moisturizing, Nourishing, Soothing | | Product Dimensions | 6.4 x 2.35 x 1.3 inches; 3.84 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor activities, sun exposure | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | Sensitive | | Sun Protection Factor | 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF) | | Target Use Body Part | Face | | UPC | 302994122004 | | UPC | 302994122004 | | Unit Count | 3 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Benefits:** Antioxidant, Hydrating, Moisturizing, Nourishing, Soothing - **Scent:** Unscented - **Sun Protection Factor:** 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF) - **Unit Count:** 3 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion for Face & Body 3 fl oz 100% Mineral UVA/UVB Filters: Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 For Sensitive Skin Dermatologist Recommended Brand - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xq-I8BqTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it cruelty free?** A: "Cruelty free" is a marketing term with little backing it up. All ingredients in products are required to be safety tested before they can be sold to humans. Historically, lab animals have been a part of those safety studies. (As someone who has worked with lab animals in the past, I can tell you that safety studies are not done in a cruel manner and those animals are pampered.) A brand can use the term "cruelty free" if they are all using all ingredients that have already been safety tested by another, third-party company for that concentration/formulation. The product was still tested on animals at some point and by someone, even if it wasn't the company you are buying the product from directly. **Q: Is the lotion non-comedogenic?** A: Our Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is made with sensitive skin friendly ingredients, such as Zinc Oxide (10%), Titanium Dioxide (3%), and Antioxidant Vitamin E to help protect skin from surface free radicals and other environmental stressors. It also has skin softeners to lock in moisture while you’re soaking up rays. Hope that helps! **Q: I purchased on amazon from the cetaphil store. how do i get the new formula? "hi there! our sheer mineral line was reformulated last year . . .** A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out! Although our packaging has changed our formula has stayed the same. Hope this helps! **Q: Is this reef friendly?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Moisturizing Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin! *by M***H on March 15, 2024* Yes, this leaves a white cast - that's what mineral sunscreens do!

The texture is lightweight, not greasy, and it blends fairly well compared to a lot of other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. I have sensitive skin and this one doesn’t sting or cause any irritation, which is a big plus. That said, it does leave a slight white cast, especially if I apply a bit more on my face, so it may be more noticeable on medium to darker skin tones. It also takes a minute or two to rub in completely. Still, the protection feels solid, and I like that it’s fragrance-free and dermatologist recommended. Overall, a very good everyday sunscreen if you don’t mind a little extra blending. ## Frequently Bought Together - CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion for Face & Body 3 fl oz 100% Mineral UVA/UVB Filters: Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 For Sensitive Skin Dermatologist Recommended Brand - CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50, Broad Spectrum SPF + Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramides, Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide, 100% Mineral Face Sunscreen Stick, Fragrance Free & Oil Free --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/415134992-cetaphil-sheer-mineral-sunscreen-lotion-for-face-and-body-3](https://www.desertcart.us/products/415134992-cetaphil-sheer-mineral-sunscreen-lotion-for-face-and-body-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
