What the gurus are saying

The gurus split on this one. Dermatologists praise it as a reliable, affordable mineral-only option with a smart color-changing label that signals when UV protection matters most, and they note it works well for kids and pool days. However, others found it leaves a thick white cast and greasy feel that doesn't fade even after extended wear, which means anyone with oily skin or those sensitive to occlusive textures may want to test it on a small area first before committing.

"Blue Lizard Sensitive SPF 50 is a great one for kiddos and for myself when we go to the pool. That one is purely mineral. If you want a mineral-based only sunscreen, use Blue Lizard Sensitive SPF 50. Costco now carries that sunscreen so I'm so happy to see it. They did change their look and their labeling. It's very affordable and great to use for the face and body. They're very famous for their packaging because the label will change color when UV light hits it to remind you, just like those bracelets, that the UV index is high enough you should be wearing sunscreen right now."

"This is a white thick lotion. It goes on feeling super heavy, super greasy, and it has a really strong white cast that doesn't dissipate even after 20 to 30 minutes of dryback. And I'm putting dry back in air quotes because this never dries back. It stays greasy feeling. I gave it a zero out of five as a sunscreen."
