Too thick for my liking

It’s hard enough getting a kid to stand still for 2.5 seconds to apply sunscreen, but this product is pretty thick and takes some time to rub in. While I believe it’s effective; I would go for other brands that’s are faster to apply.

Must read and follow directions

We’ve loved blue lizard sunscreen since it won allure best of beauty ! ( we especially liked SPF 50 sensitive mineral lotion) Our children , like most have sensitive skin and don’t love being slathered with sunscreen , especially when bikes , pools and friends are calling their name ! The new aerosol SPF 50 (!!) was a hit with mom and the kids for its quick application without irritation. We sprayed and then were sure to rub it in and as promised it dried completely clear. PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! This needs to be shaken WELL BEFORE AND DURING APPLICATION. SKIN NEEDS TO BE SATURATED TO ASSURE EFFICIENT SPF COVERAGE BEFORE RUBBING IT IN. it’s slightly greasy , like any sunscreen. To be fair we haven’t tested in high uva/uvb but we will be. The times we’ve tried,it did provide skin protection.

works well

I got this as a sample, while going to write my reviews other people were also sampling and they noticed there is concerns with some of their ingredients. we have all tried both the spay and the lotion versions and didn’t have any poor reactions to it, it worked effectively and i like that the smell isn’t overwhelming

Not a fan

Ok, so the sunscreen works, yes. But it sprays terrible, it's so hard to tell where it has covered. Rubbing it doesn't really work either. I ended up using he whole bottle on my three kids in one day just because I wasn't sure if it had good coverage.

It actually comes out blue believe it or not. The kids thought that was neat.

Overall It seemed to work but I probably wouldn't buy again. I do love that it's a mineral sunscreen, so I may look for a lotion of this brand rather than a spray.

A lot of shaking required

This is a good sunscreen, it absorbed quickly, and worked effectively for my fair skinned kiddo. The only problem I found was that you needed to shake it a lot, in between each spray, and sometimes after the first burst again. This then made it hard to use on my five year old as she lost interest of standing still quickly.

Good Protection, But Not the Best Choice for Toddl

I tested the Blue Lizard Kids Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 on my children, and while it delivers solid sun protection and water resistance, it’s not the most convenient option for younger kids.

Pros:
• Offers strong SPF 50 UVA/UVB protection — my kids didn’t get any sunburns even after long playtime outdoors.
• Water-resistant for 80 minutes, which is great for swimming or sweaty summer days.
• Mineral-based and reef-friendly — no Oxybenzone or Octinoxate, and safe for sensitive skin.
• Dries clear, no white cast.

Cons:
• The spray format isn’t ideal for toddlers — it’s hard to apply it directly on squirmy little ones without getting it in their eyes or nose.
• I didn’t like the smell — it has a noticeable scent that lingered longer than I’d prefer.
• The feeling on my hands after rubbing it in (especially on the face) was unpleasant — kind of greasy and hard to wash off.

Final thoughts:
This sunscreen works well and is gentle on kids’ skin, but I’d personally opt for a cream or stick format for better control and less mess with younger children.

Great Sun Protection for Kids, But Scary Packaging

I tried the Blue Lizard Kids Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 for my child, and overall, it’s a good sunscreen that does its job well. It gives strong protection from the sun and is very gentle on sensitive skin. My child didn’t have any irritation or rashes, even after using it several times during outdoor activities like swimming and playing in the sun. The spray is also easy to use, especially when kids don’t stay still for long. It’s not sticky or greasy, and it dries pretty quickly. However, the only thing I really don’t like is the packaging, the lizard on the bottle looks scary, and it doesn’t feel very kid-friendly. I think the brand could make the design more fun and appealing for children. Also, the spray nozzle doesn’t always work smoothly, which can be annoying. It sometimes sprays unevenly or stops working halfway. Other than that, it’s a solid sunscreen that I would still recommend for kids, especially those with sensitive skin.

Great product

The consistency and packaging is good but I cannot risk spaying directly on the face. It’s perfect for the body due to easy application and non-sticky consistency. My only disappointment is that if I use my hands to apply it on my son’s face, it is never enough
