Blue Lizard Kids Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Stick, Zinc Oxide, 100% Mineral Actives, Developed for Kids’ Sensitive Skin, TSA-Friendly, Vegan, Paraben-free, Fragrance-Free, 0.5 oz

I have sensitive and dry skin so most common to find products are just way too harsh for my skin. I didn't want to go the chemical route as my face would feel like it was on fire if I was in the sun with those chemical sunscreens. I also didn't like that the chemical sunscreens were not reef friendly and endocrine disrupters. Since our skin is the biggest organ, whatever you slather on is going to get absorbed into the body and system--I try to minimize the risk. I knew I had to go the physical sunblock route and avoiding titanium oxide which isn't as safe as zinc oxide. Once you get all your requirements of what you want to avoid to stay healthy and safe (what's the point of sun protection to avoid burning and skin cancer but you end up getting other health issues by what you put on your skin anyways....defeats the purpose). I was looking for a sunblock that had at least 20% non-nano zinc oxide, small ingredient list, and water resistant. This sunblock checked all the boxes. Sure it is small but it makes it easier to keep in your purse so you can reapply it as needed. You definitely will look quite white but I solved that by mixing it with a tinted sunblock or you can put in some foundation as others do to reduce the mime/clown/dead person look. It lasted well and I was not burnt in full Florida sun-even with some sweat it didn't burn or go in my eyes and the little stick made it easy to apply when I did smear some off my face on accident. When it came time to wash my face off, even with my mild cleanser, I just needed to make sure I really got my soap frothy and gently massaged my face to get it all off. My face was not red or irritated and no burns so it's a win! There are a lot of sunscreens out there but with the chemicals that they use to 'absorb' the UVA/UVB rays...you are trading off for other health issues. So I know a lot of people prefer the chemical ones because they absorb better and blend in sheer but just remember that it is absorbing straight into your body and will give you other issues. There are enough additives and junk in everything else, let's be careful about what we put on our skin.

Love this brand for my one year old. We have used it several times at the beach and for everyday use and it works great. I love the stick to use on the face, it makes it so easy, and with ingredients I trust. Happy mama

I bought this in the face stick, the regular cream, and the lip spf stick (ONLY one I could find without all the poison stuff in it). I am loving this brand! Not super white (it has to be somewhat if you want it to work without all the chemicals in it) and stays well. My kids didn’t burn at all with this on our recent trip to the beach and pool. It’s worth it.

I did a lot of research before choosing a sunscreen stick for my kids, and this one consistently came up as a safe option for children. The mineral‑only formula and zinc oxide base were exactly what I was looking for. My kids actually like putting this one on themselves, which is a huge win. The stick format makes it easy for them to swipe across their cheeks, nose, and forehead without making a mess, and it goes on smoothly without that chalky, hard‑to‑blend texture some mineral sunscreens have. It feels gentle on their skin, doesn’t have a strong smell, and holds up well for everyday outdoor play. For parents who want something safe, simple, and kid‑approved, this is a solid choice.

The stick’s shape makes it easy to apply on kids’ faces and provides solid sun protection. Like most zinc-based sunscreens, it leaves a noticeable white cast on the skin, which becomes less visible when rubbed in but doesn’t fully disappear.

My go to sunscreen. Applies great. Lasts longer than advertised and does great even with water and sand mixed in. I have no reason to ever try anything else.

This stick sunscreen is the best for kids! No more chasing kids with goopy liquid sunscreen dripping everywhere. This stick simply glides onto skin with no messy hands to clean up after No mess, no fuss, boom the kids are protected from sunburns for hours. The Blue Lizard formula truly is the best mineral sunscreen on the market. (We’ve tried them all) And another perk is when using this at the beach, you don’t have to worry about sandy hands trying to rub in liquid sunscreen. Ouch! You can reapply without sand scratching any time you need during a long day at the beach.

My daughter has a sunscreen allergy..everytime I put on sunscreen on her she gets rashes on her face..I tried most of the sunscreens but nothing suited my daughter..then my brother advised me blue lizard sunscreen because of the active ingredients titanium oxide and zinc oxide which do not get absorbed in the skin thereby reducing the chances of getting any allergy..and thankfully this sunscreen suited my daughter..extremely happy with the purchase 😀

Our little one does not mind having this put on and there seems to be no irritation to skin or eyes. It can be spread on thick and is easy to rub in. The UV cap is a great idea and we save the caps to use when out and about.

Bought expensive lotion type sunscreen but my 2 -3 year old toddler hated it. With this, he is willing to use it, even on his face!

It's a very good sunscreen, has clean ingredients, and doesn't leave a white or greasy residue. It suited my baby's sensitive skin.

Best suncream I've ever bought. Kids' skin is protected and it doesn't seem to interfere with eczema and dry skin. My go-to.
