Dermasport's Mineral Body SPF 30 Spray Sunscreen - Dermatologist Review

Final Verdict: Best Sunscreen Spray for Athletes with Sensitive Skin

If you're looking for a clean, mineral sunscreen spray that holds up to movement, sweat, and water, this product is an excellent choice. I use it myself, I recommend it to my patients, and I trust it for my family.

Dermasport's Spray Sunscreen is made for athletes who play outside.

What Sets Dermasport Apart from Conventional Sunscreen

Mineral-Only Broad-Spectrum UV Protection

This sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide (14%) as its sole active ingredient, providing broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide physically blocks UV rays at the surface of the skin and is far less likely to trigger irritation, making it a safer option for patients with eczema, rosacea, or other sensitivities.

SkinSafe 91% Allergen-Free Rating

This product received a 91% allergen-free rating from SkinSafe, an independent organization that evaluates products for safety in sensitive skin populations. It is free of fragrance, parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and other top allergens. I regularly recommend it to patients who have difficulty tolerating mainstream sunscreen brands.

Water and Sweat Resistance

Dermasport’s SPF 30 spray is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it an excellent choice for swimmers, runners, and other athletes. It applies easily, dries quickly, and does not sting the eyes—something I’ve found especially important for people who perspire heavily or spend time in the water.

Safe for All Ages

The formula is free of alcohol, dyes, and harsh preservatives, and it’s non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. It’s suitable for use on children and adults alike.

Supporting Ingredients That Benefit the Skin

• Aloe vera provides hydration and helps soothe post-sun exposure.

• Bisabolol, a chamomile-derived ingredient, helps reduce redness and irritation.

• Vitamin E offers antioxidant support and helps reinforce the skin’s barrier.

These additions make the formula more than just protective—it also supports skin recovery after environmental stress, which is especially important for those who are active outdoors.

Environmentally Responsible Formulation

This sunscreen is also reef-safe and uses a propellant-free spray can that relies on a bag-on-valve delivery system. This results in more even application without aerosol gases or harmful chemical propellants. As both a dermatologist and an ocean swimmer, I consider environmental impact an important part of responsible product development.

How to Use It

• Shake well before use.

• Apply generously to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure.

• Rub in thoroughly to ensure even coverage.

• Reapply at least every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

My Involvement with Dermasport

I helped develop Dermasport’s Mineral Body SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray after decades of treating sun damage in my patients—and struggling myself to find a sunscreen that works for active lifestyles and sensitive skin. This formula delivers broad-spectrum protection without the common irritants found in most over-the-counter options.
