Good sun protection but leaves white streaks after sweating
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like this sunscreen after seeing it make a lot of lists for best sunscreen for runners. But for whatever reason, about 15-20 minutes into my runs and I've started really sweating, I see white streaks in my elbow crease. I've started developing weird tan lines in my elbow crease if I don't consciously try to re-rub and re-spread the sunscreen in my elbows periodically during my runs. If I only use the sunscreen for lower impact activities, I don't get the white streaks. It's as if from the sweat it pools the minerals from the sunscreen into my elbow crease. But yet I don't have that problem with the sweat mix with my sunscreen on other parts of my body. I've also switched to Australian Gold Botanical Mineral sunscreen which ironically isn't meant for sports, but I don't have the elbow crease white streaks issue with that sunscreen. I will say, this Blue Lizard sunscreen does rub and spread easily and doesn't leave a white cast after rubbing it into my skin. Although it does feel mildly greasy after I'm done applying it everywhere. I've switch to Australian Gold Botanical Mineral sunscreen which doesn't feel greasy but it does leave a slight white cast on my tan skin, but I'll rather have that than deal with frequently needing to re-rub/re-spread the sunscreen in my elbow creases when white streaks form.

Go to sunscreen!
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Mineral based sunscreen was recommended to me after second degree burns. I love how the bottle changes color when UV is bad.

Superb Hidden Treasure of a Sunblock
Color: White, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Baby
If you're spending 100's of dollars on top of the line SPF serums etc. that are just an ounce in size forget about that. This is sublime. The stuff is like magic. It makes my mid aged skin glow and stay moisturized AND blocks the pigment causing UV rays. I've had plenty of photofacials to treat dark spots and without mineral protection I find they just come back over and over. This works great for the times I can't have a hat on or areas of my face (or hands!) that are difficult to keep covered. No smell and for me the best part is NO IRRITATION WHATSOEVER to my eyes when even things that say they won't irritate eyes do. This stuff is GREAT!

Great for little ones
Color: White, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Baby
Works wonders for the little ones. I like that it’s a spray even though I have to rub it in. You can see when you spray it, it’s white in color, not clear, so you know your applying product. There is so much on the bottle. You do have to apply frequently to ensure coverage, but so much easier than the goopy liquid stuff.
