Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Spray, Dermatologist-Recommended Brand, Broad-Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection, Water-Resistant, Zinc Oxide Formula, 5 oz

This stuff is great. I am blonde/blue, very pale skin, burn very easily. We went to the Caribbean for a week and used this for protection. Even with hours of beach and snorkeling - zero sunburn! Zero. I was very impressed. Reasonable price, and one bottle can last. My family of 4 just used 2 bottles during that week. Granted, two of us wear swim shirts so there was less to cover, and we generally spend half-days at the beach, not full. It says reapply after 80 minutes, but I think that's conservative. It does go on thick, leaves a bit of white cast, and doesn't come off easily in the shower, but to me those are good things. It's easy to see where you have covered, protects well, and doesn't come off easily in the ocean or light toweling. Well worth it! Will definitely use again.

As someone who spends hours standing out in the Richmond summer sun doing event coverage, finding a reliable sunscreen is absolute necessity. This Blue Lizard Sensitive SPF 50 is easily the best I've used. Because it's a 100% mineral sunscreen, it doesn't irritate my skin or sting my eyes when I inevitably start sweating on a hot shoot day. One of the biggest benefits for my workflow is how well it rubs in. It doesn't leave my hands feeling overly slick or greasy, which is a massive deal when I need a secure grip on my DJI gimbal or when I'm adjusting settings on my Lumix. It offers fantastic, long-lasting protection, and the bottle changing color in UV light is actually a really helpful, quick visual reminder to reapply when I'm distracted on set. If you work outdoors or just need serious, sensitive-skin-friendly sun protection that won't mess up your gear handling, this is an absolute must-have for the equipment bag. Highly recommend!

I’ve been really happy with this mineral SPF 50 spray. The formula feels gentle on my skin, and I like that it doesn’t have the strong sunscreen smell that some other products have. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply, and it’s convenient to keep in my bag for outdoor activities. I use it for walks, gardening, pool days, and anytime I’m spending a lot of time outside. It spreads nicely when rubbed in and gives me peace of mind knowing my skin has strong sun protection. I also like that it feels lightweight and comfortable instead of sticky or greasy. The packaging is well designed, and the spray format makes reapplying much easier. It has become a regular part of my outdoor routine because it’s simple, effective, and comfortable to wear.

This mineral based sunscreen is good stuff. It isn't super thick coming out of the tube, and applies easily with minimal white cast. Keep in mind that you do have to rub it in well to avoid a cast. Mineral sunscreen is bright white by nature, and will always leave a cast if not blended into the skin thoroughly. That being said, it's a great alternative to chemical sunscreens. A little goes a long way, and is therefore economical. It also seems to provide good sun protection, as it should with a rating as high as SPF 50.

Love this brand of sunscreen, been using it for years now. My kids and myself have very sensitive skin so we started using this and it works wonders! Really protects skin, doesn’t feel gross and love that the cap changes color to show the need to apply. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because half way through the can, the sprayer stopped working. Super annoying because of how expensive it is!

I’ve been really happy with this sunscreen. It’s a healthy mineral formula with fewer chemicals than a lot of other options, which makes me feel good using it on myself and on the kids. It goes on smooth, blends in nicely, and doesn’t leave that heavy, oily, or greasy feeling some sunscreens do. Easy to apply and comfortable to wear. Protected us for hours in the hot sun, also in and out of the water. Solid, reliable choice we’re glad we bought.

this is hands down the best one I've found. Even though the formula is thicker when you first dispense it, it spreads effortlessly and feels surprisingly lightweight once applied. It absorbs beautifully without leaving my skin feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy. What really sets this sunscreen apart is how well it works for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Nearly every sunscreen I've tried has caused breakouts, but this is the only one that consistently keeps my skin clear. It also doesn't have a strong fragrance, which is a huge plus since scented products tend to irritate my skin. I wear sunscreen every single day because I have rosacea, and UV exposure is one of my biggest triggers. This has become an essential part of my routine because it helps protect my skin from sun-induced flare-ups while feeling comfortable enough to wear all day. It layers well under makeup and doesn't leave a shiny finish, so my skin looks natural instead of oily. Pros: Thick formula that blends in easily. Feels lightweight once applied. Doesn't leave a greasy or oily finish. Perfect for sensitive skin. The only sunscreen that hasn't caused me to break out. Fragrance-free (or virtually no noticeable scent). Comfortable enough for everyday wear. Helps protect against UV-triggered rosacea flare-ups. Works well under makeup. Cons: The thicker consistency may surprise people who prefer very fluid sunscreens, though it blends in quickly.

3.5 stars. This is an excellent sunscreen, but the branding is misleading on four points - first, the listed active ingredients are "100% mineral", but the new formulation includes Butyloctyl Salicylate as an 'inactive ingredient', which is functionally a chemical booster of SPF. Second, this ingredient is very similar chemically to Octisalate, which is FDA approved, but causes allergies in a small number of people who may be mislead by the 'Sensitive' label right front and center. Third, while Blue Lizard was "born in Australia," it is not sold there and is not subject to Australian standards for sunscreen, so the "Australian Sunscreen" branding across the top is problematic. And finally, Butyloctyl Salicylate is classified as a potential long-term hazard to aquatic life including reefs. Australia limits it to 5% concentration and recommends less than 1% for those pregnant or under 4. (This is due to an abundance of caution over endocrine disruption that is currently backed by very little research.) That said, it is a very solid sunscreen, no scent to attract bees, goes on smoothly, minimal white cast, excellent protection. You can't get this quality AND SPF rating without chemical boosters. I have no concerns over Butyloctyl Salicylate and feel safe using this sunscreen on my toddler, but it does feel hypocritical to promote mineral sunscreen as superior to that unfairly dirty word, 'chemical', and then use an ingredient that performs with all the advantages of a chemical UV filter but does not need to be listed as such. (I will note this is a common practice, and the formula change could have come from the manufacturing provider without input from a brand chemist.) As for reef safety, use sun-protecting clothing as the first line of defense - this sunscreen should not be allowed in enclosed touristy spots where chemical toxicity is already a concern, but frankly minerals have their own aquatic toxicity concerns. This review is accurate to the best of my knowledge as of June 2026.

Good. for some reason air trapped inside because of it takes forever to come out

My kids are often impatient and would Like to run away as soon as possible in the water. This stick worked well for them, we used it daily , multiple times per day, and it’s particularly easy to apply on their tiny faces , as opposed to the usual creamy texture.

This sunscreen delivers great wear & coverage. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing stuff. It doesn’t have a distinct smell from the bottle but when I covered my self it smelt of a nostalgic jelly shoes x hint of berry (in my opinion) which I quite like. It ‘white washes’ in a sense so u can see where you’ve placed it and then soaks in better. The lid colour change is handy I suppose but it states it only works for like 8 hrs of uv exposure to the lid so it’s more of ‘it’s a lil cloudy lemme check if I should apply more since it’s been a few hours’ and then you get it out and reapply if necessary.you wouldn’t want to just say leave it out on the sand or grass all day as it changes colour instantly so you will still want to keep in mind how long it’s been since applied. I found it’s great for those not necessarily direct sunlight days when u may b unaware of the harmful rays still hitting you. As im quite a pale girl, the white wash looks purple ish on my body and then it settles, im not sure if it would make a longer lasting white wash on other skin tones but I’d assume once it’s soaked and settled (usually about five minutes I found) it’d just look slightly glossy as it does with me.

Me agrado bastante cumple su función perfecto y no queda blanca la cara
