BLUE LIZARD Kids Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion — 5 fl oz, 100% Mineral, Water-Resistant

Blue Lizard Kids Mineral SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, reef-friendly sunscreen lotion designed for children's sensitive skin, offering broad-spectrum protection and up to 80 minutes of water resistance.

This kid-focused sunscreen uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to block harmful UVA and UVB rays while avoiding common irritants like parabens and fragrances. The updated formula adds antioxidant-rich Blue Algae and is vegan, making it a gentle option for everyday play at the park, pool, or beach. The bottle also features the Smart Cap® that changes color in sunlight to remind caregivers when sun protection is needed.

How does Blue Lizard Kids protect my child's skin?

It relies on mineral actives—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—that sit on the skin surface to reflect and scatter UV radiation instead of being absorbed. This broad-spectrum approach helps block both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, with SPF 50 reducing the majority of UVB exposure.

• 100% mineral active ingredients for physical sun-blocking
• SPF 50 provides high-level protection against UVB rays
• Broad-spectrum coverage helps guard against UVA and UVB

Is it safe for sensitive or younger skin?

The formula is created with children's delicate skin in mind: it’s fragrance-free, paraben-free, and now vegan with soothing Blue Algae antioxidants. For infants under 6 months, follow pediatric guidance before use; otherwise, this lotion is designed to minimize irritation common with chemical sunscreens.

• No parabens or added fragrance to reduce irritation risk
• Mineral actives are generally well tolerated on sensitive skin
• New antioxidant blend to support skin comfort during sun exposure

How long does the water resistance last and how should I reapply?

The lotion provides up to 80 minutes of water resistance, making it suitable for swimming or heavy sweating. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after 80 minutes of water activity, after towel drying, or at least every two hours for continuous protection.

• Up to 80 minutes water resistance for pool or ocean play
• Reapply immediately after towel drying or extended exposure
• Shake well before use and apply generously to achieve labeled SPF

Does this sunscreen protect the environment and reefs?

Blue Lizard Kids is formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals linked to coral damage, making it a safer choice for reef areas. The reef-friendlier formulation helps reduce impact on fragile marine ecosystems when used as directed.

• Free from oxybenzone and octinoxate to support reef health
• Vegan-friendly and designed with environmental considerations
• Smart Cap® indicates UV presence to encourage protective behavior

Who is this for? Parents and caregivers looking for a high-SPF, mineral-based sunscreen formulated specifically for children will find this lotion suitable for everyday outdoor activities. It's ideal for families who prefer fragrance- and paraben-free products, want water-resistant coverage for swimming, and care about choosing reef-friendlier sun care. Consult your pediatrician before using on babies under 6 months.
