Blue Lizard SENSITIVE Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 50+, Water Resistant, UVA/UVB Protection with Smart Bottle Technology - Fragrance Free, 8.75 oz.

I have a lot of allergies, including fragrance and acrylates, so have to wear mineral sunscreens whether I like it or not. So far this one has been my favorite for efficacy and how it feels to wear. I accept that mineral sunscreens are likely going to need lots of rubbing in and leave a kind of oily and/or white film on skin, so I give myself a lot of time to rub this sunscreen in and let it "dry" while getting ready. As the day goes on, it soaks into my skin and the mild filmy feeling goes away, which does not happen with other mineral sunscreens I have tried. No noticeable white cast after initial rubbing in (I am very fair though). No weird smell which I love, and doesn't make my skin break out. Have not worn in the pool yet but when my skin gets wet while wearing this, water beads up and rolls off which makes me feel like it's pretty water resistant. Would probably be hard to get kids to wear as it takes a long time and some pressure to rub in, can't even get my husband to try it lol

I have been using BLUE LIZARD SPF50 Australian Mineral Sunscreen since 2018 when we first went to Mexico. The resort we were going to in 2018 suggested that we use mineral sunscreen for their beach and expeditions. I started doing research and found Blue Lizard. I am not a tanner. I was in my 30’s but when I started to see the damage that it was doing to my skin I decided that my days in the sun were over. I am now in my 60’s and regret the damage the I have done to my skin by exposing it to sun. When we go to Mexico I always bring 2 or 3 8.75oz bottles of Blue Lizard SPF50 for our 2 week trips to protect my skin. It has done an AMAZING job of protecting me. Whether in the pool, on a bali bed or walking to our next destination the sun is always present. We try to stay in the shade but it is not always possible. By using this sunscreen I do not burn and I get minimum colour, which is exactly what I want, even with the Mexican sun beating down on us. It is best to apply a good 15 minutes before going out in the sun. Since it has zinc it does go on with a sheen but when rubbed in the sheen dissipates. I do not apply a thick layer. As a matter of fact on our last trip I purchased a sponge applicator which worked beautifully and I did not have to use my hands to rub it in. A thin layer went on, the sponge worked it in and no more lotion on my hands! If you haven’t tried it yet know that it is a great protection for your skin from the sun. And if you have tried it I am not surprised that you are coming back for more.

Got this to protect my tattoos and it works perfectly

This is a good sunscreen and works. Buttttt I absolutely hate the feeling of it on my skin. I used it once but probably won’t use it again. If you’re not sensitive to textures it’s a really good sunscreen. I just personally did not like it.

Great stuff!. Miss this size container, though.

We purchased this reef-safe sunscreen for a trip to Hawaii, and it worked really well. It provided great protection from sunburn, even with extended time outdoors. Because of the mineral-based ingredients, it does leave a slight white tint on the skin, but it wasn’t very noticeable and didn’t bother us. We also appreciated that it was approved for use in all the protected coral reef areas we visited. Overall, a great choice if you want effective sun protection while being mindful of the environment.

I love blue lizard products and have been using their sunscreen products for many years.

I can only use mineral sunscreens on my very sensitive skin since all of the other typical active ingredients causes a rash for me. This mineral sunscreen is the only one I found that doesn't leave white streaks and make me look like a complete ghost. A little goes a long way and it is thick out of the bottle but it rubs in smooth, unlike so many others. It leaves an ever so slight cast on my skin but once applied everywhere and rubbed in well, you can barely tell and is completely acceptable for a mineral sunscreen. This is the only one that I have found that I am comfortable using in public and at the beach. Very happy with it!

Great sun cream and is the legitimate stuff (not fake). This product is great.

beautiful

Excellent sun protection, we used it in Florida in May. None of us burned, we hardly reapplied either. So good, I’ll only use this from now on!

So for a long time ive been trying different mineral sunscreens as theyre more effective and less potentially harmful than chemical sunscreens. Having brown skin, the problem ive had with most of them is that they give too much of a white cast. But blue lizard is amazing! White cast is barely there and it doesnt leave my skin feeling greasy or dry. Added plus is that is it reef safe so its an all round good sunscreen. Of course the price is a little higher than drugstore sunscreens but the ingredients in this one is much safer. Theres no homosalate, oxybenzone or octinoxate so its safe for you, and for the ocean.
