Blue Lizard - Meltheskinslayer review for Sport SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Spray

I think in order for consumers to be a fan of this product, it's important they know what to expect before they purchase it. You hear about the benefits of mineral sunscreen all the time, but most don't realize the aesthetic characteristics that come along with these ingredients. This is not the type of product that goes on clear and is easy to blend in with your skin tone. If that's your priority, then you're going to have to go for a chemical sunscreen. Blue Lizard's Sport Mineral SPF Spray spray contains 24% zinc oxide as it's sole form of sunscreen protection. That's quite a high percentage. Most mineral SPF 30-50s have a lower percentage combo of both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which can make them a little less opaque. Some brands will also use nano technology to micronize the large zinc molecules, decreasing their particle size. This makes the product have less of a white cast, but it's going to be much more expensive. Since that's not the case here, you're going to have to compromise a bit on the aesthetics if you're wanting to go with pure zinc oxide. I like it for the following reasons: it's hard finding mineral sunscreen in aerosol spray cans, the formula has enough glide to spread easily, doesn't smell bad, the nozzle doesn't clog, and it protects me well in times of long sun exposure. One of the photos show how it appears on the skin when you first apply it, the other shows how it looked after working it into the skin a little more. Not too noticeable on fair complexions!
