sustainability
score:
coming
details:
The brand is committed to protecting marine ecosystems by offering reef-safe products made without chemical UV filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate. They still use plastic packaging and lack comprehensive initiatives to reduce environmental impact, like zero-waste practices or carbon reduction efforts. Without more proactive sustainability measures, the brand’s negative environmental impact remains relatively high.
non-toxic
score:
coming
details:
Blue Lizard sunscreens use mineral-based active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are far less likely than chemical sunscreens to cause skin irritation. This makes Blue Lizard sunscreens especially suited for more sensitive skin types.
While their sunscreens are effective and safe for sensitive skin, they include some synthetic ingredients such as dimethicone and phenoxyethanol, which lowers their score slightly for this category.
social responsibility
score:
coming
details:
Blue Lizard emphasizes education on sun safety through partnerships and community outreach, which aligns with their mission to promote safe sun practices. However, we found little information regarding social responsibility initiatives such as labor practices or community engagement beyond sun safety education.
