About eltaMD

Trusted by Dermatologists. Loved by Skin.

For over 30 years, eltaMD has been the gold standard in professional sun and skincare — recommended by dermatologists and trusted by millions. What started as a healing ointment passed down through Swiss farming families has evolved into the most-used sunscreen brand by U.S. dermatologists themselves.eltaMD’s journey began with science-backed healing. In 1988, that same Swiss formulation became the foundation for a line of wound care products adopted by hospitals, burn centers, and rehabilitation clinics worldwide. By 2007, eltaMD transformed this medical heritage into a full line of daily-use skincare essentials. The mission? Simple — make advanced skin protection accessible for every body under the sun.

Medical-Grade Protection, Everyday Simplicity

From first-time skincare users to patients recovering from procedures, eltaMD delivers clinical-grade results without the clinical feel. Every product is thoughtfully formulated — weightless, blendable, and kind to all skin tones and types. Whether you're stepping out for a morning jog or prepping skin for a medical-grade treatment, eltaMD has you covered.

The Zinc Standard

At the core of every eltaMD sunscreen is zinc oxide — a mineral powerhouse that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Unlike chemical filters, zinc creates a physical barrier that’s both gentle and powerful. That’s why eltaMD sunscreens are silky-smooth, non-comedogenic, and a staple in skincare routines everywhere.

Healing, Renewing, Protecting

eltaMD’s product families span far beyond sun protection. From self-foaming cleansers to barrier-repair serums and post-procedure formulas, eltaMD is a comprehensive solution for skin that’s healing, renewing, or simply thriving.

At Nouve Skincare, we proudly carry eltaMD because it aligns with our promise to deliver only the best. Science-led. Dermatologist-trusted. Skin-approved.
