Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sensitive SPF 30+
Baby sunscreen
- Provides broad-spectrum protection
- Chemical- and fragrance-free
- Water-resistant
- Thick and heavy
- Difficult to apply
- Leaves white film on skin
For those with babies and those with sensitive skin, or for those who prefer fragrance-free sunscreen, we found excellent reviews for Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sensitive SPF 30+. Instead of chemical sunscreen ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin, Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sensitive SPF 30+ (and the identical Blue Lizard Baby) contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which act as a physical barrier against broad-spectrum UVA and UVB rays. Blue Lizard sunscreen is water-resistant. Because this sunscreen is thicker and creamier than others, it can take time to apply, and as with all zinc/titanium sunscreens, it can leave a whitish film on the skin. Reviewers note that the bottle or tube cap changes color in ultraviolet light to indicate that sunscreen is necessary. If you don't have sensitive skin, reviews also recommend No-Ad Sunblock Lotion SPF 45 (*Est. $8 for 16 oz.), which costs less.

Paula Begoun calls Blue Lizard sunscreen a "very good pure mineral sunscreen," but she says that the chemical-free claim is "without merit" because all of the ingredients it contains are chemicals. Still, Begoun recommends the sunscreen to anyone with sensitive skin, including babies and children.
