I think we go through about a bottle of sunscreen a week in the summer. I find myself standing in the sunscreen aisle looking at every label for the safest ingredients, trying to find one at a reasonable price, and wondering what SPF number I should be using. Then it comes down to trying to decide if I should get the spray one that is convienent to put on them, or the rub-in one that I know I’m getting evenly on their skin, but takes forever to rub in.
A few weeks ago Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen reached out asking if I would try their sunscreen. I felt like I have tried out every sunscreen on the market, so I was eager to try out something new!
I was genuinely impressed with this sunscreen and here are 5 reasons why:
- Made in Australia. Australia has implemented some of the highest, most demanding sunscreen standards in the world. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen stays true to this by creating a formula that is clean & safe. It’s mineral-based and even doctor recommended.
- Perfect on Sensitive Skin. Emery has the most sensitive skin as she has dealt with Eczema since she was a baby. I have to be so careful about the soap, lotions, and sunscreens I use on her. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen is made just for sensitive skin and after using it on her, I can safely say that she hasn’t had any outbreaks due to this sunscreen!
- Easy to rub-in. I’m not going to lie, when I saw it was a rub-in sunscreen, I was a little bummed it wasn’t a spray. Every other time I have used a rub-in sunscreen it feels like I’m going to rub their skin raw just trying to get the white to not show. BUT, it actually took me about the same amount of time rubbing in Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen as it did to use a spray sunscreen. I was completely shocked at how quickly it rubbed in with no white-residue showing and I felt so much better knowing I got every inch of their skin covered.
- The ingredients. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen is paraben, chemical, and fragrance-free. It’s made mineral-based and not chemical-based. Did you know that chemical sunscreens soak into your skin and absorb the sun’s rays AFTER they’ve entered your body. Mineral-based sunscreens, like Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreens, act like millions of tiny mirrors on top of your skin and reflect most of the sun’s rays BEFORE they enter your body.
- I made a change this year in trying to only use and buy safe products for our home & bodies. I’m excited that this sunscreen is one I feel good about using on my family.
- The bottle turns colors! The girls thought it was so fun that the bottle was white when we were inside, and the moment we step outside in the sun, it turned bright pink! (the pink bottle is the baby formula and the blue is the kids formula) This is just a reminder to make sure to reapply throughout the day and cover up as the bottle turns to a colored bottle in the presence of harmful UV rays.
Here is a fun little video that we made with Liz Osban Photography showing why we are loving Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen this summer!
**Fun Fact: I sold Liz was on this sunscreen while we were shooting this video. Just by showing her how easy it rubbed in the girls skin and telling her it wasn’t full of chemicals like most sunscreens.
I can honestly say that this is the sunscreen our family will be using from here on out. AND it comes straight to my door through Amazon! I hope if you are like me in the sunscreen aisle wondering which to buy, that you will give Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen a try– you won’t be sorry!
