Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen originated in Australia, where standards for sunscreen are the highest in the world. It delivers clinically proven, broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection in a mineral-based, water-resistant, SPF 30+ formulation. Its Australian Sunscreen Sensitive 5.0 oz uses only high-quality natural minerals, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, for broad spectrum UVA and UVB skin protection, is dermatologist-recommended and specially formulated for everyday protection on face and body, involving no potentially irritating chemicals

 

Additionally, the product’s patented BPA-free Smart Bottle changes colors in the presence of harmful UV rays, reminding users to cover up. The deeper blue the bottle becomes, the more UV rays are currently present.
