Sport Mineral-Based Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 50+, Cream, Unscented, 8.75 Fl Oz

Pros: - It WORKS. I have never gotten sunburned when using this sunscreen. I am fair and blond, and always burn at least twice before I tan. Or, I used to... I've tested it in Panama, Costa Rica, and Florida, and I love the water. It passed the test. - Goes on nicely, isn't too thick, and rubs in well. There may be a faint white trace visible, especially once you go into the water, but if so it is minimal. - It feels like you're wearing nothing. Non-sticky, non-greasy, lightweight. I feel like I should reapply it because it's so lightweight. - Very mild, non-offensive scent. - It's doesn't harm the sea life (or humans). - Non cancer-causing ingredients. - Its cool, color-changing bottle distracts kids so you can get them to hold still while you apply it. Cons: - It may leave a slight white cast to skin, more so if you don't rub it in properly, but much less than any other mineral sunscreen that I have tried, other than my tinted Elt* MD mineral sunscreen, but it costs a LOT less.

I loved this product! A little goes a long way with this sunscreen and you have to rub it in a lot to not look like Casper the ghost. I went on a 3-week trip to Ecuador and used only half of this bottle even though the sun was always blaring hot. The sun on the equator is no joke. I have really sensitive skin and suffer from eczema often and I had no bad reactions. I also love that it is reef safe since I used it when I was snorkeling in the deep ocean. Coming back from the trip, I had no burns while the rest of the group had pretty bad burns. I let them use my sunscreen and they never got burned afterward. I also love that the bottle turns pink when it's exposed to worsening UV rays. It reminded me to consistently put on sunscreen. All in all, I think this product is definitely worth the money.

It’s not a typical everyday sunscreen. It leaves a white cast so i’ve been using it only if i be under the sun for an extended period of time. The protection level is great and it don’t easily come off. I thought maybe i could use it while swimming too but it came off. Overall very strong protection.

I love this product not only because the bottle turns purple to remind me to put sunscreen on again but because it's a full coverage sunscreen. I'm fair skinned and this sunscreen kept me from getting burned in the ocean the pool and the beach. It can leave a whiteish color on the skin and needs to be rubbed in but it's incredibly effective. Used it on my kids as well with no complaints and it endured through lots of swimming.

My dermatologist recommended all Blue Lizard sunscreen products for their longevity in heat and water. He said even though the package says "water resistant to 80 minutes," it lasts even longer than that. The Sport mineral based sunscreen does not contain any of the carcinogenic ingredients (as of this date) that other sunscreens have. Additionally, this product is not harmful to coral reefs. It does stay ever so slightly light on your skin, but it's not bad, seriously. Important: check the expiration date as soon as you receive your order. This product will last you all summer, so you should be sure you are not getting one that expires in only a few months.

Of all the sunscreens we've tried (it's a lot), this one is my husband's favorite. My husband burns easily and has already had basal cell carcinoma (on his scalp) so he takes sunscreen application very seriously. He likes the coverage this sunscreen gives and how it protects him. My only complaint is the whitish cast it does leave. Also, if I use it on the kids and then they get in the car, I see little white smudges on the car interior where they happened to rub off. It's a physical sunscreen, so I understand this is standard, but it does bug me. I've lost track of how many bottles of this sunscreen we've used, so it's a clear winner for us. Also, the bottle that turns blue in sunlight is a pretty cool feature. I was amazed that even under beach umbrellas and in the shade, the bottle can still turn blue, which indicates that you're getting sun, even if you think you're not. I think seeing that for a lot of people helps them realize they need to protect themselves regardless of whether they're in the shade or not.

I'm guilty of getting burnt walking from the car to inside a store at 6am in Texas. My husband's favorite way of teasing me! I was very afraid to take a 2 week vacation to the Caribbean for just this reason. Reddit suggested Blue Lizard for tropical trips as it works and is reef safe. The lack of oxybenzone and octinoxate was a big selling point. I know the reefs are dying and any little step you can take to save them in worth it in my eyes. I'm glad that I get to see as much as I did. Imagine if everyone knew that sunscreen was killing the reefs. The Baby SPF50 stick is great to keep in your bag and apply to your face. Bought separately tho.

Goes on heavy but absorbs quickly. This is the only reef safe sunscreen that prevents me from burning.
