Heritage and History
EltaMD was founded with a focus on the medical skincare market, developing sunscreens and skin care products that met the specifications that dermatologists and plastic surgeons needed for their patients. The brand's initial distribution through medical practices rather than retail stores established its clinical credibility before the products became available to consumers.
The UV Clear SPF 46 became the most-recommended sunscreen by dermatologists in America, achieving that status by solving the specific problem that acne-prone patients face — most mineral sunscreens leave a white cast and feel heavy on oily skin, while UV Clear uses fine-particle zinc oxide in a lightweight, oil-free formulation that works for the skin types that most need daily sun protection.
Made in Fenton, Missouri
EltaMD formulates and manufactures all sunscreens and skincare products in Fenton, Missouri. The precision required for effective sunscreen manufacturing — consistent UV filter distribution, stable emulsion that doesn't separate, correct SPF throughout the product's shelf life — demands the kind of pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing quality that the company maintains at its Missouri facility.
For consumers who take daily sun protection seriously and want dermatologist-formulated products made in the USA, EltaMD provides the combination of clinical validation and American manufacturing that distinguishes it from the crowded sunscreen market. The Fenton facility's quality control ensures that the SPF rating and skin compatibility that drive dermatologist recommendation are consistently delivered in every tube.
