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

I originally picked this up with my kiddo in mind, but I’ve ended up using it just as much myself, haha! I’m usually not a big fan of sunscreens in general because I often find them greasy or overly fragrant, but this really surprised me. When I first used it, I actually thought it wasn’t dispensing properly because it was so dry and subtle, but it went on evenly and absorbed quickly with almost no scent, no sticky residue, and barely any rubbing needed. Despite how light it feels on the skin, it protected both of us perfectly during a few hours at the beach, even in the water, no sunburns at all, which is a great test. I also really like the locking top, you just twist it to lock, which gives peace of mind when tossing it in a beach bag or backpack. It’s compact, portable, and just plain works well. I’m definitely grabbing another bottle next time. Would recommend, parent and kiddo approved!

This spray is a great option for mineral-based products. Just make sure to rub it in well, otherwise it will be a bit streaky.

Prior to using this product, I have never had a reaction to any sunscreen or lotion. This may be reef safe but it definitely isn't hypoallergenic. We bought this because I was scuba diving and wanted something that didn't damage the ocean. I used it twice and exactly 72 hours after the first application I developed a severe and very itchy rash. I know it was from this product because I only got the rash in the exact places I applied this lotion. If you have any skin sensitivity don't buy this lotion. If I could, I'd give this negative stars.

We love blue lizard sunscreen! It works so well on our sensitive, pale skin!

I’m a big fan of of spray sunscreens but my favorite- NoAd - left the market years ago. The other brands I’ve tried tend to either be oily feeling with a long lasting residue or they show a white cast to the skin from the mineral sunscreen. This one goes on great and does neither. The spray goes on well, absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel oily or sticky. I also don’t detect any white residue such as you get from mineral sunscreen screams and lotions. If it wasn’t for the fairly high price, this would be perfect. Update 9/20/24 I took off one star for this issue. While I don’t intentionally get sunscreen in my eyes it does happen. With this product I find it irritates my eyes more than most and the problem can occur hours after application. For example, I put the sunscreen on my face almost 12 hours ago. I just put in eye drops and as I was wiping away the overflow I accidentally rubbed some of the residue sunscreen (which I can still feel on my face) into my eyes. It stung and impaired my vision for several minutes. This has happened several times and only occurs on those days when I have applied this sunscreen. My regular face care products from companies such as Aveeno and CereVe don’t cause the same problem.

As a native Floridian this is the absolute best sunscreen. Doesn’t burn, goes on easy and has a mild scent.

Title says it. I’m what one might say “good grief your skin looks sickly “ pale. Or if you pulled back the curtains in some dark castle, you’d find me there trying not burn in the meager sunlight. Seriously this worked really well. It lasted a very long time, wasn’t oily. Ocean, pool did the job just right. And I could swear it left my skin softer. I used it on my face (I forgot my fancy face cream). Yup. This was fabulous. I don’t think I will buy expensive face spf creams again.

Love the feel of this! The only problem is the sprayer stopped working and there was still over 50% product left that I couldn’t use. I tried everything to unclog/get sprayer working & had no luck. I think maybe because this sunscreen has a bit more volume to it- but I truly loved it- just sad I couldn’t use it all due to sprayer malfunctions.
