BLUE LIZARD Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 — 3 fl oz, Lightweight Zinc Oxide, Fragrance- & Paraben-Free

This sheer mineral formula blends zinc oxide with a hydrating mix of Australian Desert Lime and Peach to protect and nourish skin during everyday sun exposure. Developed without oxybenzone or octinoxate, the lotion is reef-friendly, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, it’s made for errands, outdoor chores, and beach days when reliable mineral protection is needed.

How does this sunscreen protect my skin outdoors?

The formula uses non-nano zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum physical protection, reflecting both UVA and UVB rays at an SPF 50 rating. Because it’s mineral-based, protection begins immediately on application and does not rely on chemical absorption into the skin.

• SPF 50 blocks about 98% of UVB rays.
• Broad-spectrum coverage helps defend against UVA and UVB.
• Mineral zinc oxide provides an immediate, physical barrier.
• Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate to reduce reef-impact concerns.

Will the lotion feel heavy or leave a white cast?

Blue Lizard Sheer Mineral is formulated to rub in smoothly and absorb without the thick, paste-like finish often associated with mineral sunscreens. The lightweight carrier and refined zinc dispersion minimize visible residue, making it suitable for everyday wear under makeup or alone.

• Sheer texture designed to blend into most skin tones.
• Lightweight feel that won’t weigh down skin.
• Suitable for daily use under cosmetics.
• Paraben- and fragrance-free, reducing irritation risks.

How should I apply and reapply this sunscreen for best results?

Shake the bottle well, then apply liberally to dry skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours during prolonged sun exposure to maintain protection.

• Apply generously to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun time.
• Reapply after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating.
• Also reapply after towel drying and every two hours as a routine.
• Keep out of reach of children; consult a physician for infants under six months.

What additional skin benefits does this formula offer?

Beyond sun protection, the lotion contains a moisturizing blend featuring Australian Desert Lime and Peach to help keep skin feeling soft and supple. The product is vegan and crafted without common irritants, making it a practical choice for sensitive skin types seeking mineral-based protection.

• Infused with Australian Desert Lime and Peach for hydration.
• Vegan, paraben-free, and fragrance-free formulation.
• Dermatologist-trusted brand with two decades of sunscreen experience.
• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes—good for swimming and sweat.
