BLUE LIZARD Kids Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+ — 5 fl oz, Zinc Oxide Mineral Protection, Water-Resistant 80 Min

Blue Lizard Kids Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+ is a gentle, zinc-oxide mineral sunscreen in a quick-spray format that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for children’s sensitive skin. Blue Lizard designed this spray to combine strong sun defense with kid-friendly application. The formula relies on non-nano zinc oxide for mineral protection, avoids common chemical actives like oxybenzone and octinoxate, and dries clear so you won’t see white residue on active kids. With 80 minutes of water resistance and a lightweight finish enriched with skin-conditioning Blue Algae, the spray was made for playtime at the pool, beach, or backyard.

How does this spray protect my child’s skin?

The product uses zinc oxide as the active mineral ingredient to block a wide range of UVA and UVB rays. That broad-spectrum barrier reflects and scatters sun radiation rather than absorbing it chemically, offering immediate defense once applied and rubbed in.

• SPF 50+ blocks about 98% of UVB rays.
• Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum physical protection.
• Formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate to support reef safety.

Is the spray easy and safe to use on children?

The aerosol delivery makes coverage quick for wiggly kids, but instructions recommend spraying onto hands for facial application and avoiding inhalation. The formula is free of parabens, fragrance, and drying alcohols, and the product is suitable for children older than six months when used as directed.

• Shake well and hold 4–6 inches from skin for even application.
• Do not spray directly on the face; apply via hands for safety.
• Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming, heavy sweating, towel drying, or at least every 2 hours.

Will it stay on during swimming and play?

This sunscreen offers 80 minutes of water resistance, which reduces how often you must reapply during water play. Regular reapplication after towel drying, extended exposure, or intense activity is still recommended to maintain the full SPF coverage.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes per label guidance.
• Reapply immediately after toweling off or vigorous activity.
• Complement with shade, protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.

What’s in the formula and what’s left out?

The spray is a vegan, zinc-oxide-based formula enhanced with Blue Algae to nourish skin without leaving a sticky feel. It intentionally excludes synthetic fragrances, parabens, drying alcohols, and chemical sunscreen actives that some families prefer to avoid.

• Includes non-nano zinc oxide and Blue Algae for conditioning.
• Free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, fragrance, and drying alcohols.
• Propellant chosen for ultra-low global warming potential (GWP).

Who is this for? Parents and caregivers seeking robust, reef-conscious sun protection for babies and children will find this product helpful. It’s best for families who prefer mineral sunscreen, need fast application for active kids, and want a formula that avoids common chemical actives and fragrances. Ideal for pool days, beach trips, sports, and everyday outdoor play when combined with other sun-safety measures like clothing and timing outdoor activities.
