It was good

I gave this sunscreen a try and overall, it does its job in terms of sun protection and the texture feels lightweight. But as someone with darker skin, I did notice a pretty noticeable white cast. It took a lot of blending to get it to look somewhat natural, and even then, there was still a slight grayish tone left on my face. I think it could work better for lighter skin tones, but for deeper complexions, it’s not the most user-friendly option. Hoping they improve the formula to be more inclusive!

all natural & fragrance-free

I love that Blue Lizard mineral sunscreen is not only fragrance-free, but also contains only two all-natural ingredients! Like many people, I don't wear sunscreen as often as I know I should. The greasy feel %26 heavy scents of most products leave me unwilling to reapply. This product may feel greasy when it's first put on (%26 it does take some effort to ensure that the whiteness is absorbed), but soon enough it fade into a nearly unnoticeable layer that offers simple protection w/out any added scents (though, if you're got a sensitive nose, you may still catch the odd whiff of "diaper cream"). All in all, I'd still rather not wear sunscreen, but this one is about as inoffensive as you can get while being responsible w/ your skin!

Goes on thick

Initially it had a strong smell, very unpleasant. It is a cream and goes on thick, it takes time to soak in. While I didn't get time to wear it outside due to cloudy weather, it did leave my skin soft. I wouldn't buy it for myself.

Good sunscreen

I find this sunscreen good and thick. The only problem I have is that it's very hard to remove, even after going in water.
I took a shower after spending my day out and the sunscreen was hard to remove.

Not as safe as it’s marketed

I received this to test and review for free from Butterly. This was initially appealing as it’s for sensitive skin and suppose to be better for u. I was feeling unwell for 3 days after using it (may be unrelated perhaps) but after reading up on some users, they’ve indicated there are toxic ingredients listed. I wouldn’t recommend

Goes on thick, leaves smudge-marks on car windows

I work daily in a motor vehicle so I regularly use sunscreen products in sunny weather. Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion goes on thick. I can attest that it is quite water-resistant given that I can feel it present on my skin, even an hour after application, protecting me even after getting water on my skin, and because of this, I feel confident that my skin is protected using Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion. Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion is free from parabens, phthalates and fragrances, which is worth noting given that Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion is perhaps the first sunscreen lotion that I've used where I do not smell like I am wearing sunscreen. Overall, given my dark complexion, Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion does not blend perfectly invisible, even after much rubbing and trying to work the product in, and thus it leaves a faint white/blue cast. Furthermore, using Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion on a daily basis caused minor irritation to my skin (an itchiness with infrequent spaced-out red marks) which I have not experienced using other brands of sunscreen products. Finally, Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion does leave a greasy layer on the skin, which I have noted will leave smudge-marks on vehicle's windows should I rest my arm near them.

Mixed Feelings

I have such mixed feelings about this sunscreen! I used it in multiple ways and liked it in some situations and not in others. I will summarize below:

Face - I liked it on my face but only when it is the first sunscreen I apply in the morning. When I applied over makeup later in the day, I found it was harder to get it to absorb/not leave a white cast and felt greasy and heavy on my skin versus when it was applied first I did not find it greasy or heavy. I do think the white cast goes away after a few moments on my face.

Body - I could NOT make the white cast go away on my legs! I don't know if it's because of the other body lotions and/or oils I had on earlier in the day or what, but it never went away.

The reason I have mixed feelings though is that despite the white cast and greasiness, I can say without a doubt that it is effective! I took it golfing with me on a sunny day with no cloud. I had a different sunscreen applied from when I left home and brought this one to do touch ups. About halfway through my day I noticed my shoulders were getting darker. I applied this and did not get any darker for the rest of my day! Same thing with my legs.

So overall, I like it but don't know if it would be my first choice when reaching for a sunscreen. I was sent this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Thick and shiny

I do love colour coordinating my beach bag with my sunscreen… but honestly, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to buy this one. I love that it’s spf 50, but I always prefer a spray to lotion- I find lotion slicks down my arm hair and it’s just unpleasant. I can almost see a “halo” of the product on my arm… which I guess could be indicative of its protection? I guess I just prefer less thick formulas. Glad I got to try this one for free!

Average Sunscreen good for sensitive skin

This sunscreen is standard. I like that it doesn't have much of a smell so I don't notice it as much when I'm wearing it. I think the UV colour changing cap is a neat and useful idea!
