Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion, 100% Mineral Sunscreen, UVA/UVB Protection, Infused with organic Aloe Vera, Soothes and Hydrates, 5 fl oz

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.

This sunscreen is really nice. It's creamy and soft and it rubs in really easily. It's ewg approved which is important to me, so no yucky chemicals. The sunscreen itself worked well. We used it on vacation and we are very happy with it. The price is not too expensive and the bottle was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be so I was happy about that!

It’s a great sunscreen. It does leave a white cast on my pale skin. I use it on my neck, arms, legs and hands. It’s a serious mineral based sunscreen so I don’t expect it to go on thin and clear. I use it as a way to prevent sunburn thus preventing skin cancer and premature aging. It may not look “cute” on my skin but skin cancer, wrinkles and age spots are by far worse! I have sensitive skin and have not had any reaction to it. If you are serious about protecting your skin use this.

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.

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.

What's not to love? This is a great product (so great, we ordered three). This stick is broad enough for getting sunscreen on the face quickly and easily, but small enough to be portable practically anywhere. My daughter is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South America for the next 18 months, so she's going to be outside most days, in the sun and heat, trying to keep her fair skin from burning and blistering. This is my mom moment of trying to protect her from afar - a simple and easy stick that goes on white, but then rubs in clear and easy to protect her from the sun. She can carry it most anywhere in her bag and reapply all day long. It rolls up easily like a chapstick or a gluestick and just makes sense. Would definitely order again. No fragrance, no greasiness. Just simple protection that works.

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!

This worked better then other water resistant sunscreens for a day in the ocean. It does leave a white cast. Comes off with soap and water. Ideal when high sunscreen protection needed while swimming.

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.

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

Me gustó mucho tarda en desvanecer pero asi son los protectores minerales. En cuanto me lo aplico no siento que el sol quema mi piel.
