BLUE LIZARD Sport Mineral-Based Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 50+ - 5 oz

I love this sunscreen. I was looking for a zinc only sunscreen option & found this. It does spray a white cast but that goes away when you rub it in. No chemical sunscreen smell.

We’ve been using Blue Lizard Mineral Lotion for years—ever since our pediatrician recommended it when our kids were toddlers. It quickly became our go-to sunscreen every summer. The coverage is amazing, and it truly lasts through long beach days, pool time, and outdoor play. Yes, it leaves a bit of white residue, but honestly, that's a small price to pay for protection that actually works and doesn’t wash off easily. We've always felt confident putting it on our kids' sensitive skin.Just recently, we stumbled upon the Blue Lizard spray, and we might be converts. It’s so light and airy, and my 7-year-old can reapply it by himself at camp—huge win. It still gives us the trusted protection we love, just in a much more convenient form. We’ll probably keep both on hand, but the spray is definitely a new favorite for busy summer days.Highly recommend both versions—Blue Lizard continues to impress us year after year.

After trying multiple brands of mineral based sunscreen, this is definitely the best one! I haven't had very good luck in the past with mineral based sunscreens working or not being super streaky and not rubbing into the skin evenly. This one worked just as well as a normal sunscreen and was light enough to easily rub into the skin. I used this on my honeymoon to the DR and didn't get burnt at all! Obviously reapplied multiple times but 10/10 recommended.

This sunscreen had such great reviews, but after using it myself I have no idea why. I used it on my 11yo daughter at the beach thinking it would be great for her, but she got so burned she could not move for days afterwards, she was in so much pain. I sprayed it on her skin, rubbed it in and had re-applied every hour, covering her from head to toe. But she may as well have not worn any sunscreen at all!! She had a dance photo shoot the next day and she was so burned she couldn’t put her costumes on, let alone do any poses. It hurt for her to move, plus she looked like a lobster. I used a generic spray sunscreen on myself and I did NOT get burned. I felt so bad. I thought I was using the best stuff for her but it was the worst. A month later, I used it on myself because that’s all I had on hand and I got burned to a crisp! What kind of sunscreen is this?!?!?! Not only that, but the nozzle broke right after I used it on myself so it couldn’t be used again (which was actually a good thing). This sunscreen caused so much pain. NEVER AGAIN!!!

This is the best spray on mineral sunscreen I've found. It rubs in clear and doesn't leave your skin looking white. It protects from the sun but it does need to be reapplied periodically. It's expensive but worth it in my opinion to keep my kid from being embarrassed from looking like a ghost and to avoid the chemicals in chemical sunscreen.

This brand is great! However, you really have to rub it in. Even the spray. Sprays on white and thick but I didn’t have to reapply being in the sun for 3 hours and fair skinned. I would give 5 stars if it didn’t leave a very white film.

Goes on heavy but absorbs quickly. This is the only reef safe sunscreen that prevents me from burning.

Pros:- It WORKS. I have never gotten sunburned when using this sunscreen. I am fair and blond, and always burn at least twice before I tan. Or, I used to... I've tested it in Panama, Costa Rica, and Florida, and I love the water. It passed the test.- Goes on nicely, isn't too thick, and rubs in well. There may be a faint white trace visible, especially once you go into the water, but if so it is minimal.- It feels like you're wearing nothing. Non-sticky, non-greasy, lightweight. I feel like I should reapply it because it's so lightweight.- Very mild, non-offensive scent.- It's doesn't harm the sea life (or humans).- Non cancer-causing ingredients.- Its cool, color-changing bottle distracts kids so you can get them to hold still while you apply it.Cons:- It may leave a slight white cast to skin, more so if you don't rub it in properly, but much less than any other mineral sunscreen that I have tried, other than my tinted Elt* MD mineral sunscreen, but it costs a LOT less.
