Blue Lizard Kids Mineral Sunscreen vs. Banana Boat Sport Sensitive Mineral Based Sunscreen SPF 50+

Position 1

#1Zinc Oxide (20%)

Origin: natural

Role: Bulking agent, Colorant

UV Protection

Antiseptic

Comedogenic rating [ 1 ]

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Good for oily skin

Zinc Oxide is a great physical sunscreen, meaning it deflects the UV rays. It’s the only natural mineral sun protector recommended by the FDA for babies. It’s good for sensitive skin because it’s less irritating than chemical sunscreens.

It has very nice spectrum protection. It helps to protect from UVA I, UVA II, and UVB and nowadays it’s the broadest range of sunscreen used in cosmetics. In other words, it’s brilliant in its league.

The negative side is that it can feel heavy on the skin. It can leave a slight whitish tint on the surface of the skin and some people may not like this. Keep in mind that it’s relatively easy to wash off, so it’s better to use water-resistant sunscreens if you are swimming.

#1Water

Origin: natural

Role: Solvent

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.
