Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen — an award-winning mineral sunscreen brand under the Revance umbrella — has been designated as the first-ever official sunscreen partner of the prestigious Manning Passing Academy, a notable football camp that draws young athletes from across the nation. As part of this venture, Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen will supply its dermatologist-trusted mineral formulas to all athletes, coaches, staff, and attendees.
The core of Blue Lizard's offering lies in its reliance on Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, physical blockers that create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface to defend against both UVA and UVB rays. The brand has further tailored its Sport collection to meet the demands of athlete consumers, specifically the sunscreen remaining effective during heavy perspiration and constant movement.
