Blue Lizard SENSITIVE Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 50+, Water Resistant, UVA/UVB Protection with Smart Cap Technology - Fragrance Free, 3 oz. Tube

Why it's worth it

A fragrance-free zinc oxide lotion at SPF 50+ with serious water resistance and a cap that turns blue in UV light. It's the tube to keep in a beach bag for the whole family, cast and all.

It's made for the day you'll sweat it off. Blue Lizard Sensitive carries the FDA's maximum 80-minute water-resistance rating, which is what you want for swimming, surfing or anything that involves a towel. Daily face sunscreens tend to slide off in that setting. This one is built to stay put, and it holds SPF 50+ broad-spectrum protection while doing it.

The cap is a better reminder than your phone. Smart Cap technology turns the lid blue when UV is present, which is a small, silly-sounding feature that solves the biggest real-world failure in sunscreen: nobody reapplies. Sitting on a picnic blanket, a blue cap in your line of sight does more than an alarm you'll swipe away.
