Sport Mineral-Based Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 50+, Cream, Unscented, 8.75 Fl Oz

Pros: - It WORKS. I have never gotten sunburned when using this sunscreen. I am fair and blond, and always burn at least twice before I tan. Or, I used to... I've tested it in Panama, Costa Rica, and Florida, and I love the water. It passed the test. - Goes on nicely, isn't too thick, and rubs in well. There may be a faint white trace visible, especially once you go into the water, but if so it is minimal. - It feels like you're wearing nothing. Non-sticky, non-greasy, lightweight. I feel like I should reapply it because it's so lightweight. - Very mild, non-offensive scent. - It's doesn't harm the sea life (or humans). - Non cancer-causing ingredients. - Its cool, color-changing bottle distracts kids so you can get them to hold still while you apply it. Cons: - It may leave a slight white cast to skin, more so if you don't rub it in properly, but much less than any other mineral sunscreen that I have tried, other than my tinted Elt* MD mineral sunscreen, but it costs a LOT less.

Of all the sunscreens we've tried (it's a lot), this one is my husband's favorite. My husband burns easily and has already had basal cell carcinoma (on his scalp) so he takes sunscreen application very seriously. He likes the coverage this sunscreen gives and how it protects him. My only complaint is the whitish cast it does leave. Also, if I use it on the kids and then they get in the car, I see little white smudges on the car interior where they happened to rub off. It's a physical sunscreen, so I understand this is standard, but it does bug me. I've lost track of how many bottles of this sunscreen we've used, so it's a clear winner for us. Also, the bottle that turns blue in sunlight is a pretty cool feature. I was amazed that even under beach umbrellas and in the shade, the bottle can still turn blue, which indicates that you're getting sun, even if you think you're not. I think seeing that for a lot of people helps them realize they need to protect themselves regardless of whether they're in the shade or not.

This is one of the few sunscreens my family can use due to allergies plus it plain works. It is a physical sunscreen, so yes you have to rub it in, or there will be white streaks. But it does rub in pretty easily and I don’t look like a ghost. The “active” version really holds up at the beach- we are in the water a lot and playing hard and the sun protection holds. For us this sunscreen is worth every penny.

My son went to an all-day two-day outdoor music festival and came home with zero sunburn even after being on the beach literally all day for two blazing hot sunny days. My sister in law recommended this (she's a doctor and uses this on her own kids). Best recommendation ever. I even use this myself when I know I'm going to be spending extended time outside, it's not greasy, does not break out my face at all and while it takes a bit to rub it all in, you know you're covered everywhere you rub it in. Great Sunblock lotion, really the best I've used in my 40+ years.

This product does its job… while on a cruise to Mexico I applied this (not as often as I should) and never got burnt. It is more difficult than spray on sunscreen to apply as it does not spread easily, however it is extremely waterproof and even with soap in the shower, did not want to budge. As happy as I was with it’s effectiveness I took off one star for the extent of white streaking of the skin even after rubbing in.

I loved this product! A little goes a long way with this sunscreen and you have to rub it in a lot to not look like Casper the ghost. I went on a 3-week trip to Ecuador and used only half of this bottle even though the sun was always blaring hot. The sun on the equator is no joke. I have really sensitive skin and suffer from eczema often and I had no bad reactions. I also love that it is reef safe since I used it when I was snorkeling in the deep ocean. Coming back from the trip, I had no burns while the rest of the group had pretty bad burns. I let them use my sunscreen and they never got burned afterward. I also love that the bottle turns pink when it's exposed to worsening UV rays. It reminded me to consistently put on sunscreen. All in all, I think this product is definitely worth the money.

I’ve became skeptical of many sunscreen brands due to my kids burning after continuously applying sunscreen every 80 minutes and following directions given. Blue Lizard hasn’t let us down yet! Also, my youngest got it in her eyes last weekend and said it’s the first sunscreen that didn’t burn her eyes. It’s a trusted, tried and true family favorite!

It’s not a typical everyday sunscreen. It leaves a white cast so i’ve been using it only if i be under the sun for an extended period of time. The protection level is great and it don’t easily come off. I thought maybe i could use it while swimming too but it came off. Overall very strong protection.
