Guide Review - Blue Lizard Sunscreen Products
Although a little more pricier than most sunscreens, Blue Lizard sunscreen products really do measure up. They have several products to choose from:

  • Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - Regular
  • Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - Sport
  • Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - Face
  • Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - Sensitive
  • Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - Baby
One of the best aspects of the Blue Lizard sunscreen line is that the bottles of sunscreen turn color when exposed to UV light. It made my children want to learn more about sun safety!

Blue Lizard products also measure up to the Australian sunscreen standards, which are more strict than FDA standards. The products are chemical-free and contain 5% of zinc oxide, compared to only 1% to 2% content in competitor brands.

Blue Lizard products also stay on for 240 minutes in the water, making it one of the most water resistant products on the market. The average time for Blue Lizard's competitor brands is only 80 minutes. Keep in mind that you should always reapply sunscreen after going in the water, though.
