I've used other spray sunscreens from Banana Boat and similar brands and I can't use them inside unless I want to inhale a bunch of it. Not sure if the lack of fragrances is what makes this EltaMD sunscreen NOT do that, or if they've designed a better spray system that's more targeted and doesn't send up a plume of sunscreen particles.
It doesn't smell like anything/the scent is very mild, and since it's a physical sunscreen it leaves more of a dry feeling than a greasy coating sensation.
It rubs in pretty well. I'm white. Going by foundation colors I'm in the fair to light range. I have seborrheic dermatitis/eczema on my face and I can't use most sunscreens as a result. I'm not sure this sunscreen works for that but it does work for the rest of my body. Ideally I should be using higher SPF anyway since I've noticed I still tan when I use this sunscreen even when used as directed (reapplying every 2 hours, etc).

No white cast on my brown African skin
This sprays clear on my African skin. I am similar in complexion to Kelly Rowland, Naomi Campbell and Michelle Obama. There is no white cast. I use it on my face and body. I first spray it on my hands and then apply it to my face and body. Nobody could tell that I am wearing sunblock. The above photos show my left arm from driving for over 35 years without sunblock.

So I had this problem with the sprayer not working very good. so difficult to hold down and spray my body parts. I read the review and saw that there has to be a relative loud click when you first start out with the can of sun screen spray. So I went out on the grass and set the can on the sidewalk facing the grass[ ultimately i did not want to mess up the color of the cement and the grass gets cut per week! LOL! ]I pushed down really hard and a solid click happened when I did that and afterwards... wa la! The sprayer worked great like the first can did. Who knew! Hope this helps someone!!! because the PRODUCT IS GREAT!!!

Sunscreens are very tough to find one that works when you are riding a bicycle In the extreme heat and sun for many hours. Well this one works!!! I have not seen one that works this well. I purchased the spray on version. Sprayed it on, rubbed it in. It is not greasy, sticky, or leave you with white cream streaks. After seven hours and 75 miles in the sun. I was not sun burnt at all. I also realized I had been sweating and the sweat went into my eyes and it did not cause any stinging. And the best I did not smell like a mango or pineapple all day. I would definitely recommend this sunscreen. It is the best!!

This is a great product. Leaves my skin glowing. I am, however, having a problem with the current can. This is the 5th time I am using this sunscreen and have had no problems until now. The spray does not work and when it does, I have to press so hard I have no control over the direction of the spray and the product barely comes out. I am two days out of the return time frame. Will never buy something in advance again and am extremely unhappy that I have an expensive product that is not usable. UPDATE: I have been issued a full refund and was granted a 20% coupon to reorder as the price went up since my purchase. I am pleased and grateful

I searched high & low for a zinc based spray sunscreen that didn’t have a bunch of junk in the ingredients AND had good reviews - EltaMD UV Aero Sunscreen fit the bill.
Pro’s-
Used this for a week in Cabo in the middle of summer and neither my husband nor I got burned.
It has a slight white cast which helps you see where the product was applied & then you rub it in (doesn’t take much effort to rub it in). Once applied, you are good to go for 80 min in the water!
Con’s: It’s a bit pricey even in in comparison to others products in the mineral based sunscreen market.
Bottom line- It works, it’s easy to rub in, the ingredients don’t contain a bunch of crazy cancer causing chemicals and did I mention - it actually works???!!! Just make sure you remember to shake before applying!

I purchased six different clear zinc sunscreens to see if there might be any worth using as a substitute for “traditional” sunscreens given the FDA report citing only zinc as GRAS. I am happy to report to you, fellow consumer, that this product (and likely the entire EltaMD lineup) is the best zinc sunscreen available and essentially parity with other clear, shear, dry spray-on sunscreens. It goes on clear, feels great, and works great. It’s expensive but that only further suggests this company knows what they have - the best product on the market, period. As a liquid backup I recommend the Coppertone Defend & Care clear zinc cream. The others were not up to the task at all. Put your money where your values are and use this to protect your family.

I have extremely breakout-prone, sensitive skin. Overall I LOVE this product (and anything EltaMD) although I find that if I use this particular product on my face as a midday reapplication, which was initially what I bought it for, it melts my makeup.
It applies very easily, but I always warn people borrowing it that since it is a physical, they will need to "rub it in," but it absorbs really easily and does not feel greasy at all-- except on your hands.. it just feels like you have a light residue afterwards.
