EltaMD recently launched a new sun care product in the form of the UV Replenish Broad-Spectrum SPF 44, an [oil-free sunscreen for the face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nongreasy-sunscreens) that's both protective and moisturizing.

The chemical-free facial sunscreen for all skin types is touted as one that's beneficial for restoring moisture to skin that is dry and stressed. A key component in the product's efficacy is the inclusion of a high volume of hyaluronic acid. The product also offers antioxidant protection, as well as a formula that's [free from dyes, fragrances, parabens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-faceguard-spf-30), gluten and other additions that are likely to cause sensitivity.

The newest wave of [sun protection products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-product) have helped to reshape the way consumers perceive and use sunscreen, as many innovative formulas offer similar benefits to targeted skincare.
