Sport

Blue Lizard is a quality sunscreen. While in Florida I used this sunscreen every day at the beach & never got sunburnt. It really protects your skin from the sun. Highly recommend.

I have been buying this brand for 12 years, since having to research sun blocks for a child with skin problems and coming across stellar dermatological reviews for this. It's fantastic. I know they wouldn't endorse this, but I can put it on myself and the kids in the morning and it lasts all day, even through sweat and the pool. Yes, it's thick and leaves you a little whiter than before, and yes, it can stain of you immediately touch fabric after applying, but if you just give it 5 min to dry, it's no longer greasy, doesn't rub off, looks less white, and will totally protect you. Plus, it's better for the environment.

I like this for cycling and I have not burned with it. For regular daily use I like the Tizo or Cetaphil Sheer zinc. It is thicker and protects on long days in the sun. I love the bottle, when it changes colors it convinces my kids to put on their sunscreen.

After reading reviews and consulting the environmental working group guide, I choose three different sunscreens to take on a recent 7 day Caribbean cruise and the Blue Lizard Sport Mineral-based sunscreen (no oxybenzone, no octinoxate) SPF 30+ UVA/UVB protection (8.75 oz) was the clear winner. All three shipped and arrived in good shape well within their expiration dates. The Blue Lizard sunscreen is white, thick and creamy, but not too difficult to spread on your skin. There was no odor and it protected my skin from sunburn when snorkeling - no small feat as I have fair skin and no sun exposure on the back of my legs coming from a northern climate in winter. It does have a noticeable white cast when you first apply, but I found that helpful so as not to miss any spots. the white does diminish after it has been on a few minutes. It did not rub or peel off. The change in the bottle color with sun exposure was a great reminder to reapply. I also tried Beyond Coastal Active SPF 34 sunscreen and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk Body & Face Sunscreen Lotion Broad spectrum SPF 60, Oxbenzone free, oil free, water resistant. The Beyond Coastal was just OK - it was very thick and difficult to apply, so I would not buy again. I had used their old formula for another trip in the past and liked it but their new formula is not as good. The La Roche-Posay, by far the most EXPENSIVE, was the WORST of the bunch. I has a distinct chemical odor. I applied it 30 minutes before changing into my swim suit and and cover-up, it started to peel off before I even left my room. I had to reapply a different sunscreen all over again. I will buy the Blue Lizard again.

This sunscreen is the best! When I was searching for products for my family this kept getting mentioned and I’m so glad we tried it. It easily beat out the others, easy to apply, never had any sunburns, stays on when sweaty. I don’t buy any other sunscreen anymore!

I use a lot of sun protection for swimming and biking. Due to covid I didn't get to use this as expected, but for the training I have done it eorked well. I put it to the ultimate test while at the beach for a week. Being in Salt water all day, and direct sunlight, with a bald head... no burn! My friends looked like lobsters and I was great. Yes, it's expensive. It is a bit thick(ish), but not bad. I'm very satisfied.

The sun protection is amazing. Week in hawaii without getting burned. Little thicker then sunblock I'm used too so there was some trial and error on applying. O ly downside was when I went to reapply after being in the water, didn't spread as well or rub in on wet legs. The bottle changing color depending on uv rays was super helpful. Bit of overcast and a breeze can be deceiving.

I used Blue Lizard on a trip to Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. We visited the Great Barrier Reef in a bright, sunny day in the tropical sun of Carins,AU. I have red hair and did not burn. Also used it in Hobart, AU which has a ozone hole in summer. The bottle would immediately turn blue in the sun but I did not burn. Love this stuff and it is reef safe. It disappears when you put it on as well.
