NO NEGATIVES COME TO MIND. BLUE LIZARD SUN SCREEN, BABY FORMULA, IS THE BEST SUN SCREEN I HAVE EVER USED. NO GREASE, NO TACKINESS, NO OBNOXIOUS ODOR; A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, AS IT SREADS VERY EVENLY. IT LASTS THROUGH EVERY LONG WALK IN THE SUN THAT I TAKE.

Allow to dry before going out into the sun. Stays on until you wash it off.

This review is solely about the packaging and expiration date of the item I received.

I've used Baby Lizard in the past and love the product itself. It has much safer ingredients for the price and is effective without leaving the usual ghost-face that zinc based sunscreens tend to do. The product itself would receive 5 stars.

However:
Being familiar with the product, I ordered the gallon size for the economy price of ~$2/oz expecting to get a couple years of use out of it. What I instead got was a bottle that was obviously sitting on a shelf for a very very long time. The first clue was the shape of the bottle itself - the plastic was sunken in and deformed, as plastics get after sitting on a shelf too long. Second clue was the faded label. Third clue was the expiration date that ends in 9 months. Sunscreen only lasts about 3 years max before losing is efficacy, so this was cause for some extreme irritation after spending nearly $300 on the bottle.

I've had bottles of this brand that have gone past their expiration before, and they quickly separate and must be tossed.

This is my second time to purchase this product. It sits at my patio door all summer, it comes on day trips, weekend trip, family BBQ's.Its used constantly by everybody. We slather it on easily. Some of our teenage family members complain because it goes on thick and white but within 3 minutes its unnoticeable and it still is effective after swimming and sports.

We used to use Blue Lizard products, then decided to try something else (significantly more expensive). Despite the other brand being marketed as 'hypoallergenic', it caused my daughter to break out in a rash . . . so we're back. And I'm glad we are.

Was a little leery of buying such a large size but (1) with a family of three kids, we go through a LOT of sunscreen, so we'll use it and the per ounce price is great and (2) the pump dispenser is a huge, unexpected plus. Much easier to get out the amount you need without fumbling with caps, trying to keep the bottle upside down, etc.

Great product!

This product was highly recommended by our dermatologist. Although the natural mineral ingredients give a little whiteness to the skin, this product spreads well and is long-lasting. It is excellent for small children and all ages, and we find it gives the best sun protection, better even than products rated at SPF 50 or 60. It is also excellent for people who might have allergies to other sunscreen products.

Comments about Blue Lizard Baby, Australian Suncream, SPF 30+, 128 fl oz:

I use this every day and it is thin enough to apply generously without having to rub it in hard or for a long time. It has no chemicals like the typical sunblocks and isn't as much of a chore to put on as other comparable dermatologist recommended brands. I don't like the fact that it is fairly expensive and it would be nice if there were tints available to help blend the color into the skin.

This is for my child and it provides excellent protection. I highly recommend this product to all children especially the ones who are under the sun a lot!

Don't let the initial heavy white appearance scare you. Just put it all over, wait about 1 minute and continue to rub in. It WILL absorb into your skin and give you excellent long lasting UVA/UVB protection. You must also be sure to put it on DRY skin or you will be rubbing forever. It feels sort of greasy at first, but give it a little time (5 minutes at the most ) and it will give your skin a lovely supple feel.
