Blue Lizard® Australian Sunscreen · Blue Lizard Sheer Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
Three independent Greenlens lenses read the same 29 ingredients and land 3 points apart. That gap is not an error. Each lens asks a different question, and this page shows every answer, ingredient by ingredient, blended into nothing.
Our sources have reference data on 26 of 29 listed ingredients; 3 are uncharacterized in our data — a gap, not a clean bill. Our sources can only speak to ingredients they recognize — either flagged by an authority or known to be a common, well-characterized ingredient. An uncharacterized ingredient is a gap in our data, not a clean bill of health: a quiet safety scan over ingredients we can’t place is a weaker signal than one over ingredients we can.
Uncharacterized in our data: Zinc Oxide 24.5, How to Use, Shake well prior to use.
Independent
The regulatory baseline. Follows EU cosmetic law: prohibited and restricted ingredients cost points, and allergen labelling is capped so it cannot tank a score on its own.
Flagged 2 of 29 ingredients: 1 regulated allergen.
Independent
The strict lens. Flags any ingredient with a listed hazard trait (SIN List, IARC, Prop 65), even when regulators still permit it.
No listed hazard traits recognized among 29 ingredients.
Independent
The lenient lens. Trusts dose and regulation: permitted ingredients kept within their legal caps are tolerated, and only genuinely prohibited substances take a big hit.
No prohibited or high-risk ingredients among 29; permitted ingredients tolerated.

The overall ring on the product page is the weighted mean of the four pillars using your weights, computed fresh on every visit and never stored. How each lens's reference lists were built, penalty by penalty, is on the methodology page.
