where to buy Blue Lizard sunscreen in Kihei?

Question

On our last trip to Maui we ordered ThinkSport reef-safe sunscreen from Amazon but didn't like the consistency; also, the tube is 6 oz so can't go in a carryon. For our upcoming trip later this month we're hoping to bring only carry-on luggage and want to find a reef-safe sunscreen that is easier to rub in and doesn't make us look as white. In a Trip Advisor thread from October I saw that a couple of people liked the Blue Lizard Sensitive lotion, and it gets pretty good reviews on Amazon. I can order a 3-oz tube from Amazon for the carryon, but we may need more than that. Does anyone know where we can buy Blue Lizard Sensitive lotion in or near Kihei? I searched for it on the Longs/CVS website but got no results.

Answer

It's great that you're looking for a reef-safe sunscreen like Blue Lizard, and I understand your need for a product that's easy to apply, won't leave you looking white, and fits within the carry-on restrictions. While I couldn't find specific listings for Blue Lizard on Longs/CVS' website, there are a few other places you can try in or near Kihei to purchase it.

Here are some options where you might be able to find Blue Lizard Sensitive Lotion in Kihei or nearby areas:

Safeway (Kihei or other Maui locations): Safeway stores often carry a variety of sunscreens, including reef-safe options like Blue Lizard. They may have the Sensitive Lotion in stock, so it’s worth checking there when you arrive on the island.
Whole Foods Market (Kahului): If you don’t mind driving to Kahului, Whole Foods is another store that tends to carry a wide selection of natural and reef-safe sunscreens, including Blue Lizard. You can call ahead to check availability.
Island Natural (Kihei): This health food store is known for carrying eco-friendly and reef-safe products, and they often stock Blue Lizard and other sunscreen brands. It's a great option to check for availability before you head out.
Maui Health & Natural Foods (Kihei): Another great spot for natural and sustainable products. They carry a variety of reef-safe sunscreens, so they may have Blue Lizard or a comparable alternative in stock.
Local Pharmacies: While you didn't find Blue Lizard on Longs/CVS' website, it's still worth visiting in person. Sometimes not all products are listed online, but stores may carry them in-store. There are Longs Drugs in Kihei and other nearby locations.

If you're not able to find Blue Lizard in stores, another option is to check the local independent shops that specialize in outdoor gear and health products. Sometimes, specialty surf or dive shops carry sunscreens that are safe for both people and the environment.

Lastly, if you’re looking for something quick, ordering the 3 oz tube from Amazon before your trip is still a great backup plan to ensure you have what you need without worrying about size limitations for your carry-on. However, you may be able to find it on the island if you prefer to shop locally.

Safe travels and happy sunscreen hunting!
