Common questions

Is Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ healthy?

Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ scores 0/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Lotion. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ lists 30 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, 1,2-hexanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder and Alumina. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Yes. Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ lists Peg-7 Hydrogenated Castor Oil in its ingredients.

How processed is Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+?

Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ has no NOVA group.
