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

Having tried many spray mineral sunscreens, I would rate this one at the top in terms of sun protection against UVA and UVB rays given its high percentage of zinc oxide, the ease of applying to the skin, as well as applying to my beard, and washing off after use. I have used the sensitive version in lotion form, which I also rate highly, but it can be difficult to apply to my beard and be difficult to wash off. This spray version does leave a white cast similar to its lotion version. The nozzle is similar to other sunscreens out on the market. This sunscreen does have a scent to it, despite indicating it does not. For 5 fl. oz., the sunscreen is priced high.UPDATE 05/19/2022: I still recommend this sunscreen, as it received an excellent rating from the EPA in terms of UVA/UVB protection. The downsides to this sunscreen is that it goes on VERY WHITE, much whiter than the lotion form, it also is runny which means that the sunscreen will begin to run down wherever you have applied it and will seep into your eyes, including when you wash it off your face in the shower/sink. Because of this, it is not ideal to use this sunscreen if going into the water.

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!

We used to order these all the time and they were great. We have now ordered them twice this summer and with multiple bottles the nozzle stops spraying after about one use. Not only is this a waste of money but I use this on my kids and I have ended up being out without having sunscreen to apply because I expect it to work.

Spent the whole day in a Florida theme park in hot, humid weather, and I didn't burn ( I applied as needed). Easy to spray on, but you will have to make sure you get it off in the shower because it sticks! Waterproof for sure. I have super sensitive skin and am always hesitant to try new products, and a lot of the ones I use are very expensive. I found this to be a reasonable alternative that honestly works.

This was pretty decently rated on Yuka so I got it. I don't love that you have to rub it, but you have to because it sprays really narrow and thick so otherwise you would have large white blobs all over you. It worked really well which I was happy about and I only reapplied once in a 6 hour day so that was great!

We are always in the water scuba diving or ocean swimming. This is our favorite sunscreen now and we use a lot of sunscreen. It applies very easily, even the spray bottle. It definitely protects. This formulation is the kind we know does not harm our ocean. It checks all the boxes.

Bought 2 Bottles. 1 Bottle worked, second DIDNT. Top defective. And from other reviews in reading, this seems to be a thing. This product is not cheap. I want my money back for second bottle or it replaced.

I have been using Blue lizard sunscreen for over 15 years and was so excited to see that they came out with a spray version of this sunscreen. I am allergic to most chemical sunscreens and was recommended this brand by my dermatologist when my allergy was discovered. I have never had a bad reaction to this sunscreen brand and it is my go too! It provides excellent SPF protection and does not break out my skin or cause my eyes to sting, water, or burn!
