Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First lets get the EWG rating out of the way. Blue lizard SPF 30 sensitive has a rating of 1. 1!!!! Does it work? Ya. Better than any other sunscreen I have used. This includes all the brand names like coppertone or banana boat. But do you have to reapply it every other minute? No. I am Caucasian but I have skin that tans easily. I will still burn though with prolonged exposure. I recently purchased blue lizard for a Florida vacation. I put the sunblock on about 10 minutes before going out. I go out and plop down on a lounge chair from 10-1. Get in and out of the pool a few times. Sweat like crazy in the 90+ degree sun. Go inside and take a nap. Reapply sunblock and go back out from 4-8 and sweat, swim, and lay in the sun. Do you look like a ghost or does this stuff rub in? I did not have a problem with it leaving a white tint on my skin. It won't completely rub in like a spray on sunscreen or regular lotion. But it won't be a white streaky mess. I tried a badger sunscreen before blue lizard and stopped using it because not only did it not work but it was a thick and messy and made me look like Casper the chubby ghost. How does it feel on your skin? I will tell you that I don't like wearing anything on my skin. I don't wear makeup. I rarely use lotion on my body. I tolerate the sunblock because I don't want to burn. Blue lizard feels like any other sun product I have used except that it has a bit of a waxy feel to it. So it doesn't feel like bare skin, but it's not much different than regular sunscreen. So you have to spread it on with a putty knife? NO! This is the biggest difference between blue lizard and other mineral sunblocks. It goes on really well. It spreads evenly and quickly. Even my husband commented that is went on really well compared to the Badger. Some people complain that mineral sunblock is hard to remove. I just soaped up as usual and scrubbed with a washcloth and my skin was clear with not a lot of effort. Does it smell like hippies? No. It doesn't smell like anything. Odor free. According to blue lizard's website this product is NOT tested on animals. Yay! Last words on blue lizard. I still got a tan but didn't burn. I didn't run around looking like a streaky ghost. I didn't have to soak my body in chemicals in order to keep from burning. Will buy this again. I am in no way associated with blue lizard and was not asked to review this product. I do this out of the goodness of my heart so other people who like to research products before they buy have a true understanding of how a product works.
