Blue Lizard SENSITIVE Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 50+, Water Resistant, UVA/UVB Protection with Smart Cap Technology - Fragrance Free, 3 oz. Tube

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.

Used this for a holiday in Singapore, where the UV is very high. Worked perfectly, I didn't get burnt or pink at all. Goes on a little white, but rubs in well after a while. I'd recommend having lotion on first for a more smooth application.

Bottle has lasted me well over a year (I use it on my face and neck daily). It definitely leaves a white cast on your face and I need to use a moisturiser underneath it because it’s quite drying. But it doesn’t aggravate my very sensitive skin and it really does protect from the sun. The colour changing bottle is a fun but also useful feature! Edited in July 2026 to add that the formulation of this has now changed and it’s no longer as friendly for sensitive skin.

This has been a great item! My son is protected for longer even when he just doesn't really want to get out of the water Healthy skin color, gradually tanned Recommended 20 out of 10!

Definitely protects skin from the sun, used it in Greece in June. Quite thick consistency that needs rubbing in well but a much safer and kinder cream than standard sun cream. Would buy again.

I really want to like this product, because I want to use reef proof sunscreen and my husband refuses "normal" sunscreen. However... it dyes everything yellow. Bikinis, beach covers, towels. Everything turns yellow, and it doesn't come out in the wash. I think most sunscreens will dye white clothes yellow, but this is next level yellow. It definitely leaves a white cast on the skin - it shows up even more in photos. It also leaves white flakes in the pool, which makes me doubt how "reef safe" it really is. The flakes look like just the sort of thing fish would try to eat, and they don't dissolve after a few days. On day 4, our pool was more flakes than water, and we didn't even put on sunscreen before the pool. It was just what was left over after beach + quick shower before pool. Having said that, it DOES protect against the sun - I burn very easily, and I have sensitive skin prone to rashes, but this sunscreen gave me no problems. It is pretty expensive, and the bottle is messy so you waste a fair bit. Make sure to tape it shut before packing.

Bought this with high hopes since it's reasonably priced and has clean ingredients, but it disappointed me on every front. Most notably, even though this is much higher protection than I normally use, I STILL BURNED. Regular SPF30 is fine for me, and I have used other zinc oxide sunscreens that were SPF25 or SPF15 with no issues. So I say from experience, I don't think this can possibly be SPF50. I reapplied it during the day, and I just feel lucky it was only a minor sunburn that faded quickly and wasn't too painful. Plus, somehow my feet were fine, even though they had zero sun protection and were getting full sun all afternoon, similar to the other areas which burned. So, in full sun the areas I applied this to actually fared worse than areas with nothing! No idea what happened, and I thought I would give it another chance in case I'd done something wrong the first time. A few days after the sunburn incident, I put it on my arms to use while I was out in the garden, being careful to fully paint it on all skin and not miss any areas before rubbing it in. I was out for less than 2 hours in the late afternoon - I TANNED SIGNIFICANTLY AND HAD PINK ARMS AGAIN. Absolutely NO way is this the SPF it claims. Application is fairly straightforward if you're careful, but if you're not gentle with the stick you'll be breaking bits off, and end up with an uneven application and the tube covered in it. It also does not have a good texture on the skin, it is in fact greasy and sticky. On my face it was so greasy I had to apply my regular powder sunscreen over the top. Given its poor sun protection, I'm glad I did that, or I'd have had a burnt face too. Outdoors and in the garden I had bits of plant and dirt sticking to me. Couldn't wait to get home to wash it off. It does rub in to be practically invisible, but only on my pale skin. On my partner, who is a medium skin tone (like a light brown caramel colour) it was quite visible and left white streaks that took a lot of rubbing to blur out. It never fully disappeared on his skin, so no, it doesn't rub in "clear" and it is not suitable for darker skin. Even on me, it would collect into obvious white lines in the skin creases at places like the elbows. It also doesn't have the water resistance claimed: When applied to the backs of the hands, it didn't survive a simple rinse under the tap during hand washing (no soap or rubbing, gentle pat dry). The backs of my hands were rather tan (for me), dry, and sore from sun exposure. It also rubs off very easily on fabrics and clothes. The worst burn was on my shoulders where it had completely rubbed off on my bag straps. It will leave white marks on your clothes too, but at least these wash out easily. Overall, a complete waste of money, as it doesn't fulfill anything it claims. After only a few uses (covering the arms once, and whole upper body twice) the tube is about halfway gone, so it won't even last you for a week's holiday. Would give zero if I could.

Bought as contains zinc which is the only thing that works to protect my many tattoos from the heat of the sun. Bonus points for being marine safe (apparently)

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 but causes little white cast and also a bit heavy on skin n with oily feel.

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.

Actually I had doubt about it that it might have been copy of original product but I have been received original product,i glad for bought it.
