EltaMD Has Left Canada — Here Are the Sunscreens to Switch To
If you've tried to reorder your EltaMD sunscreen recently and found it sold out everywhere, you're not imagining it. As of mid-2026, EltaMD has paused its distribution in Canada, and the last of the stock is selling through quickly. If you want a proven medical-grade replacement, now's the time to grab one.

Every option below is medical-grade, dermatologist-recommended, broad-spectrum, and in stock right now — the same standard that made EltaMD a clinic staple. We've matched each one to the EltaMD product you were using, so the switch is easy. Quantities are limited, so don't wait too long.

Every product above is medical-grade, dermatologist-recommended, and broad-spectrum — the same standard that made EltaMD a clinic staple. The mineral options (Vivier Sheer SPF 30, Colorescience) sit gently on reactive skin, while the SPF 45 gives daily-wear devotees an easy one-for-one replacement. And because stock is limited, we'd suggest securing your replacement sooner rather than later — especially if you have a shade preference.
Still weighing where to buy remaining EltaMD stock versus switching now? Read our companion guide, Where to Buy EltaMD Sunscreen in Canada. And if you'd rather wait for EltaMD itself — we expect to carry it again down the road, we just don't have a date yet.
