Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion SPF15 is a dual-action daytime facial moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF15 sun protection, formulated with a chemical-mineral hybrid sunscreen system (Octinoxate 6.0% + Zinc Oxide 3.0%) and a triple-vitamin antioxidant complex (Vitamins A, C, and E). Fragrance-free, PABA-free, and non-comedogenic, this 4 fl oz (118mL) lightweight lotion is designed for daily use on all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, as a combined moisturizer and sunscreen step.

Sun Safety Reminder: Apply generously to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours during prolonged outdoor activity or after swimming or sweating. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.

Active Sunscreen Ingredients and UV Protection

• Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) 6.0% — Chemical UVB Filter — One of the most widely used chemical sunscreen actives; absorbs UVB radiation (the primary cause of sunburn and DNA damage) and converts it to heat energy, preventing UV penetration into the skin. Effective, lightweight, and fast-absorbing.
• Zinc Oxide 3.0% — Mineral UVA/UVB Blocker — A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen that reflects and scatters both UVA and UVB rays across the full UV spectrum. Zinc Oxide is FDA-approved as a safe and effective sunscreen active and is particularly well-tolerated by sensitive and reactive skin types.
• Broad Spectrum SPF15 Coverage — SPF15 blocks approximately 93% of UVB rays. The hybrid chemical + mineral system provides complementary UVA and UVB protection, addressing both sunburn prevention (UVB) and photoaging/skin cancer risk reduction (UVA).

Key Inactive Ingredients and Skin Care Benefits

• Glycerin — A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, maintaining hydration throughout the day without heaviness or greasiness.
• Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) — A stable ester form of Vitamin A that supports skin cell turnover, improves skin texture, and helps maintain a healthy epidermal barrier over time.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) — A potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals generated by UV exposure, brightens uneven skin tone, and supports collagen synthesis.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) — A fat-soluble antioxidant that works synergistically with Vitamin C to enhance UV protection, reduce oxidative stress, and support skin repair.
• Allantoin — A skin-conditioning agent derived from comfrey root; soothes irritation, promotes skin healing, and softens rough skin texture — particularly beneficial for sensitive skin types.

Who This Product Is For

• All skin types seeking a simplified daytime routine — combines daily moisturizer and SPF into one step, reducing the number of products needed each morning.
• Sensitive and acne-prone skin — fragrance-free, PABA-free, and non-comedogenic formula minimizes irritation and pore-clogging risk.
• Photoaging prevention — daily broad-spectrum SPF use is the single most evidence-backed intervention for preventing premature skin aging caused by UV exposure.
• Makeup wearers — lightweight, non-greasy finish creates a smooth, even base for foundation and other makeup products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SPF15 enough for daily use?
SPF15 blocks ~93% of UVB rays and is recommended by dermatologists for everyday incidental sun exposure (commuting, indoor near windows, brief outdoor activity). For extended outdoor activity, beach, or high UV index days, SPF30+ is recommended.

What is the difference between Octinoxate and Zinc Oxide?
Octinoxate is a chemical filter that absorbs UVB rays; Zinc Oxide is a mineral blocker that physically reflects both UVA and UVB rays. Together they provide complementary broad-spectrum coverage that neither ingredient achieves alone.

Can I use this under makeup?
Yes. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and creates a smooth base for foundation. Apply 15 minutes before makeup for best results.

Is this product cruelty-free?
Yes. Trader Joe's Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion SPF15 is cruelty-free and has never been tested on animals.
