BLUE LIZARD Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 — 3 fl oz, Water-Resistant 80 min, Fragrance-Free

Blue Lizard Kids Mineral SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, water-resistant sunscreen lotion designed for children's sensitive skin, offering broad-spectrum protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

This lightweight lotion combines mineral sun filters and antioxidant-rich blue algae in a pediatrician-trusted formula that’s free from parabens and fragrance. The formulation blocks UV rays, provides up to 80 minutes of water resistance, and is reef-safe by avoiding oxybenzone and octinoxate. It also features the brand’s Smart Cap® that changes color in sunlight as a visual reminder to reapply or seek shade.

How does this sunscreen protect my child from the sun?

The product uses 100% mineral active ingredients—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—that sit on the skin to reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays. Its SPF 50 rating reduces the amount of UVB reaching skin, while the broad-spectrum blend addresses a range of ultraviolet wavelengths. Reapplication and other protective measures are recommended to maintain effective coverage.

• Active ingredients: zinc oxide + titanium dioxide for mineral barrier protection.
• SPF 50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB exposure under test conditions.
• Broad-spectrum formula to address both UVA and UVB rays.
• Smart Cap® changes color in sunlight to signal UV exposure.

Is this safe for sensitive or young skin, and what was removed from the formula?

Formulated with children in mind, this lotion excludes parabens and fragrances that can irritate delicate skin. The new and improved version is vegan and enriched with antioxidant blue algae to help support skin health without introducing common sensitizers. For infants under 6 months, consult a doctor before use.

• Paraben-free and fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk.
• Vegan formula with antioxidant-rich blue algae for gentle care.
• Recommended pediatrician-trusted brand practices and testing.

This lotion is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it suitable for swimming or active play. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply immediately after towel drying, after 80 minutes of water activity, or at least every two hours. Remember to cover commonly missed zones when applying.

Does this sunscreen protect the environment and how does the Smart Cap® work?

The formula avoids oxybenzone and octinoxate to reduce impact on fragile reef ecosystems, aligning with reef-safe recommendations. The Smart Cap® is a visual tool: it changes color in direct sunlight to alert caregivers that UV exposure is present and sunscreen coverage may be needed or renewed. Keep the product out of extreme heat and sun when storing to preserve quality.

• Reef-friendly formulation without oxybenzone or octinoxate.
• Smart Cap® color change signals UV presence for timely reapplication.
• Store away from extreme heat and direct sunlight to protect the lotion.
• May stain some fabrics—apply carefully on clothing and towels.
