Blue Lizard Sunscreen Spray, Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Spray, 5 oz

I’ve been using blue lizard sunscreen for about 7 years now. It’s great for all day sun exposure, lake days, beach days, river days and pool days. The thick lotion stays on and glides on smoothly. It does leave your skin with a white shin on your skin, but it works so well, I don’t mind it. It will leave white marks on your swimsuits. But it washes out. Great for sensitive skin, and light smell.

I love this sunscreen and use it daily. I first purchased the sunscreen for my granddaughter and her sensitive skin, but after using it my self I use it every day on my face and shoulders to combat uv Ray's damaging our skin. It is smooth, light, and non greasy. Once absorbed by my skin I cant even tell I'm wearing it, feels like nothing!! I also love that because it is a mineral formula and safe for reef animals, it is also better for creeks, lakes and even pool equipment. I will forever be a blue lizard girl and hope my family will continue to use it for years to come.

It goes on smoothly and provides good coverage. It does leave a white cast at first, but it blends in well with a little rubbing. I find the white cast helpful when applying it to a squirmy child because it makes it easy to see where I’ve applied sunscreen and spot any missed areas. Overall, a great choice for kids and outdoor activities.

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.

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.

Amazing Sunscreen! This sunscreen is seriously SO good! My very pale friends used it during our entire week in Aruba and didn’t get burnt once. It’s super water resistant and held up really well, even with all the swimming and being out in the sun. A little goes a VERY long way, so you don’t need much. Just make sure you really rub it in well because it can take a little effort to blend. Definitely one of my go-to sunscreens!

Leaves a little bit of a white overcast but works very well in protecting you against the sun. I went to Bermuda and used this. Every part of me that was covered with this lotion was protected. Any part that wasn't even if it was underwater got burned. This product is really great. I love that it is reef-safe. Works on all kinds of skin types. Feels clean!

easy to apply but too small, last one week only so not quite worth the value

Ha cumplido su función, es muy densa y cuesta extenderla pero es justamente lo que esperaba, iba de viaje a Cancún y son muy estrictos con los protectores solares que no son de origen mineral, aunque es incómodo creo que todos debemos concienciarnos y empezar a usar este tipo de protectores

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.

Good sunscreen. Does what it says, without added chemicals. Goes on white, rubs in colourless, stays on in water.
