BLUE LIZARD Sheer Mineral SPF 50 is a 100% mineral sunscreen lotion with zinc oxide that provides broad-spectrum protection while rubbing in sheer and nourishing skin with Australian Desert Lime and Peach.

This lightweight, reef-friendly sunscreen is formulated to deliver SPF 50 protection using mineral active ingredients and a moisturizing blend that helps skin feel softer after application. The lotion is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, free of parabens and fragrance, and designed for everyday sun exposure whether you're running errands or spending time outdoors.

How well does this sunscreen protect from UV rays?

BLUE LIZARD Sheer Mineral SPF 50 uses zinc oxide as its active mineral blocker to shield skin from UVB and UVA rays. The SPF 50 rating indicates strong protection against sunburn while the broad-spectrum formula addresses a range of solar radiation.

• SPF 50 strength—helps block the majority of UVB rays.
• 100% mineral actives—mineral-based protection with zinc oxide.
• Broad-spectrum coverage—formulated to cover both UVA and UVB exposure.

Will it feel heavy or leave a white cast on skin?

The sheer mineral formula is designed to rub in smoothly and minimize the chalky finish commonly associated with mineral sunscreens. Its lightweight texture absorbs into skin for a more natural appearance while still delivering mineral protection.

• Sheer finish—formulated to blend with most skin tones more easily than traditional zinc-only creams.
• Lightweight lotion—intended for comfortable everyday wear.
• No added fragrance—helps reduce sensory irritation for sensitive skin.

How do I use it during water activities or sweating?

This sunscreen is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it supports protection during swimming and active outdoor time. Reapply after water exposure, heavy sweating, or towel drying to maintain the labeled level of protection.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes—suitable for swimming and exercise.
• Reapply after 80 minutes in water, after towel drying, or at least every two hours.
• Apply liberally to dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure for best results.

Is this formula suitable for sensitive skin and the environment?

The lotion is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and vegan, which can make it gentler on sensitive skin types. It is also formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate to reduce risk to delicate reef ecosystems.

• Fragrance- and paraben-free—minimizes common irritants.
• Vegan formulation—no animal-derived ingredients.
• Reef-friendly—free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Who is this for? BLUE LIZARD Sheer Mineral SPF 50 is aimed at people seeking mineral-based, high-SPF daily protection that blends more easily than traditional zinc creams. It fits well for those with sensitive skin, shoppers looking for vegan and paraben-free options, and outdoor enthusiasts who need water-resistant coverage for short swims or active days. As with all sunscreens, follow application directions, reapply as instructed, and consult a pediatrician for infants under six months.
