Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+
Blue Lizard is a top choice for those seeking a purely mineral, reef-safe option that adheres to strict Australian testing standards. It is free from fragrance and parabens, making it ideal for the most reactive skin types.
Quality & Materials
10% Zinc Oxide and 8% Titanium Dioxide. No oxybenzone, octinoxate, or fragrances. Includes Vitamin E and Aloe for skin conditioning.
Evidence & Testing
Meets Australian standards for water resistance and broad-spectrum protection, which are historically more stringent than US FDA requirements.
Brand Transparency
The bottle features 'Smart Bottle' technology that turns blue in harmful UV light, serving as a functional transparency tool for consumers to know when to apply.
Value Assessment
Highly affordable for a high-zinc mineral formula, especially in the 5oz bottle size.
Why Not Alternatives?
While many 'mineral' sunscreens actually contain chemical boosters like butyloctyl salicylate to inflate SPF, Blue Lizard focuses on a high-concentration Zinc and Titanium mix without hidden chemical filters.
