*This is a sponsored post for Blue Lizard® Australian Sunscreen, but all opinions are 100% my own. You are going to love this safe sunscreen for kids!
We are moms. We have been counting down the days until the weather is warm enough for the kids to start spending more time OUTDOORS than IN! Summer is always something to look forward to, however we also know how harsh the sun can be on our kids’ sensitive skin. Having a mother in law who has had a skin cancer scare has put me on high alert when it comes to protecting not only my child’s skin, but mine as well. I have always been pretty good at slathering on the sunscreen, however I started reading up on some of the harmful chemicals in many of the sunscreens for sale, and I started freaking out about that, too! Does it really have to be so confusing when trying to keep the family safe in the sun this summer – both from the sun and from chemicals?
That’s why I was so happy to discover a sunscreen brand that was not only safe to use, but actually WORKS, too! Enter: . Okay, first thing’s first – the word “Australian” in the title itself is a big sign that this stuff is amazing. Why? This full spectrum sunscreen was originally created in Australia where sunscreen standards are the strictest in the WORLD. Thankfully you won’t have to go there to get yourself some because it’s available all over the USA. Not only that, it’s actually made in Tennessee now! Doesn’t it feel good to support a product made in the good ol’ US of A?
The best part is, they are offering us HDS readers 20% off our orders of $35 or more! WAHOO! Visit their website at: and use the coupon code P20HDS to get your discount!
You can find in a variety of different formulas so there really is something for everyone. They have formulas for Baby, Sensitive, Face, Sport, and Regular. Like I said – something for everyone.
I love the fact that it is the brand recommended most by pediatricians, dermatologists, pharmacists, and (naturally) moms like me! It’s good stuff, too – it has a broad UV coverage and is. That makes a mom’s heart feel pretty good about using it to protect the ones she loves most.
I would say that the kids are pretty fond of it, too!
As you can see, the sport formula is extremely water resistant. Like, extremely!
Oh, and this is SO COOL – Blue Lizard’s patented PBA-free smart bottle CHANGES COLOR (I know, right?) from white to blue (or pink to blue if you’re using the baby formula) when it is exposed to harmful UV rays which reminds you to apply sunscreen. I mean, seriously? I’m in love.
You are about to be in love, too – because there is a giveaway!!!

I’m allergic to so many sunscreens (and bugsprays), that I’m leery to try anything new. If it is safe for kids though, maybe it would be a winner for me too.

I have to try this! My daughter has very sensitive skin and I would love to see how this works.
Sherri Durham says
I absolutely love the fact that Blue Lizard is a safe alternative in our chemically laden world! In the past, the only way to assure you weren’t covering yourself in chemicals that might be just as bad as the sun exposure, you were have to try to concoct your own mix for safe sunscreen.
Erin says
LOVE non chemical sunscreens!!
Raynella Fontenot says
I love knowing its chemical free!!! But everything else about it is completely awesome anyway!!
Jenalyn says
I love that it has less chemicals in it than other brands. We’ll be visiting some national parks and going camping this summer.

This would be perfect to use with our passes at Sea World! Last year my 4 yr old son with autism kept rubbing his sunscreen on his eyes and causing himself a lot of pain : ( I bet this stuff would be much better for him!
Laura H says
Oh thank you so much! I have survived cancer twice now and have noticed that my skin is ultra sensitive. I can’t wait to try this out to keep everyone safe from the harmful sun and chemicals!

I am excited that this product is made of natural ingredients.
