Blue Lizard

Blue Lizard originated in Australia in 1995 and entered the US market in 1998, initially sold through dermatologist offices.

Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ in an orange squeeze bottle with SmartCap

Sensitive Skin SPF Champion

Blue Lizard sunscreen

Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

The sunscreen dermatologists reach for when nothing else works. Blue Lizard Sensitive is a no-frills, 100% mineral barrier that prioritizes absolute skin safety over cosmetic elegance — and for eczema-prone, rosacea-affected, or post-procedure skin, that's exactly the right priority. The white cast is real, the texture is thick, and none of that matters when your skin can't tolerate anything else.

Pediatrician's Top Pick

Blue Lizard sunscreen

Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

The mineral sunscreen that earned its reputation in Australian dermatologist offices before most 'clean' sunscreen brands existed. Blue Lizard Baby delivers uncompromising SPF 50+ protection with zero chemical actives and zero fragrance — the trade-off is a thick texture and visible white cast that prioritizes protection over cosmetic elegance.

Daily Mineral Face SPF

Blue Lizard sunscreen

Face Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

Blue Lizard finally made a mineral sunscreen you'd actually want to wear on your face every day. The Sheer Face formula trades the brand's signature thick paste for a lightweight, botanical-enriched lotion that layers beautifully under makeup — all while maintaining the 100% mineral protection philosophy that earned three decades of dermatologist trust.

Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

A practical hybrid sunscreen that prioritizes real-world wearability for active kids — the octisalate supplement makes it easier to apply than the purely mineral Baby formula, though parents should know this isn't a 100% mineral product despite the branding. At $15 for 5 ounces with SPF 50+ and 80-minute water resistance, the protection-to-value ratio is excellent.

Outdoor Athlete's SPF

Blue Lizard sunscreen

Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

Blue Lizard's most durable formula — engineered for athletes who need sunscreen that stays put through sweat, water, and friction. The hybrid mineral-chemical approach trades 100% mineral purity for real-world spreadability and enhanced film-forming technology that outperforms many chemical-only sport sunscreens on adhesion. At $15 for 5 ounces, the value is hard to beat for regular outdoor athletes.
