BLUE LIZARD Kids Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, Untinted 5 fl oz — Zinc Oxide, Water-Resistant, Sensitive Skin Safe

BLUE LIZARD Kids Mineral-Based Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ is a zinc-oxide mineral sunscreen in an untinted, quick-absorbing cream designed to protect children's skin from UVA and UVB rays while being water- and sweat-resistant. Blue Lizard’s Kids formula brings pediatrician-endorsed mineral protection in a 5 fl oz tube that rubs in smoothly and dries clear. The lotion relies on zinc oxide as the active ingredient for broad-spectrum coverage, avoids oxybenzone and octinoxate to be reef-conscious, and is free of parabens and fragrances—making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its Smart Bottle Technology gives a visual cue by changing color in the sunlight, reminding caregivers to reapply when UV exposure is present.

How does this sunscreen protect my child’s skin?

The product uses zinc oxide, a mineral blocker, to scatter and reflect both UVA and UVB rays for broad-spectrum protection at SPF 50+. It’s formulated to sit on the skin and provide physical protection without leaving a noticeable white cast on application.

• Zinc oxide active ingredient for mineral-based broad-spectrum protection
• SPF 50+ rating to reduce UVB exposure
• Untinted cream that rubs in smoothly and dries clear

Is this sunscreen safe for reef environments and sensitive skin?

This Kids sunscreen omits oxybenzone and octinoxate, two ingredients linked to coral damage, and also avoids parabens and added fragrances—choices that reduce irritation risk. While reef-conscious, it remains a sunscreen meant to protect skin first; always follow local guidance for reef-safe practices.

• No oxybenzone and no octinoxate to support delicate reef areas
• Paraben-free and fragrance-free to minimize irritation
• Untinted, mineral formula suited for sensitive skin types

How long does the water and sweat resistance last?

The lotion is formulated for durable protection during swimming and play, with up to 80 minutes of water resistance to help maintain coverage while in water or during heavy activity. Reapplication is still important after toweling off, extended time in water, or heavy sweating.

• Water-resistant and sweat-resistant performance up to 80 minutes
• Reapply after swimming, towel-drying, or prolonged sun exposure
• Designed for head-to-toe use during family outdoor activities

What is Smart Bottle Technology and how does it help?

Smart Bottle Technology provides a visual UV reminder: the bottle changes color in sunlight to signal elevated UV levels. It’s a practical cue to check coverage and reapply sunscreen, especially helpful for caregivers supervising active children outdoors.

• Color-changing bottle indicates when UV exposure is present
• Visible reminder to re-evaluate sun protection and reapply
• Helps families stay mindful during outdoor play and beach days
