Most Helpful Positive Review AMAZING!! I love Sun Bum!! It's the only sunscreen I use on my children and myself. After being out in the California sun on a 100 degree day at an air show for 8 hours you can not even tell! Protection was AMAZING! It rubs in with no problem. Once applied you don't even realize you have it on and there is virtually no smell! I am never with out my Sun Bum sunscreen!
Most Helpful Critical Review Doesn't work! Burn in the sun or shade This is my 1st time buying & using this product. My husband and I applied this product 3 days ago at Assateague Island. It was a super sunny day and very hot with an ocean breeze that just didn't quit. My husband only applied once, and was in the shade 95% of the day, but he STILL got burned on his feet and face. Like I said, he got burned. Oddly you can see where he WIPED it on in a couple of sections. As for me, I did as directions indicated and applied often as I wanted to sunbathe most of the day. I was in and out of the sun about 6 hours and the sunblock was applied about 4x. I STILL BURNED but not everywhere, which again is odd. Before you judge, yes it's where I applied and I even was turning my beach chair so the sun would hit me from different directions.
I don't know if we just needed a higher SPF or if it was just a really high UV day, or a combination of both because this sunblock was definitely applied and we are both definitely BURNED in multiple places. He was in the shade, I was in the sun. For the price, I think that's pretty poor sunblock. On the areas it did block the sun, it did well but I'd love to know why those areas.

Decent Daily Sunscreen 4
SensitiveGal from Boise, ID
Great for everyday use, can be a little greasy if applied in a heavy layer. Haven't had any burning or pealing while using this, but it can dry out the skin, as it soaks in slash faded through the day, if you don't moisturize before putting this on. Sunscreen should be reapplied through the day, but even just applying this to my arms and legs in the morning is enough to give me coverage for a full 8 hour work shift. Haven't used this on my face, but it's hasn't broken out my neck or back, where I also get some acne. Its budget friendly and doesn't leave a white cast, but if you have super sensitive skin or burn easily then try a patch test before wearing this outside.
We need you in the Netherlands 5
Khadija from Undisclosed
I bought some baby bum care for my son when we visited Cali in 2019. Now visiting Curacao and found your sunscreen. Bought three bottles and planning to buy more so we have some stock when going back home. Smells very nice, leaves no stains and is heavenly on the skin. We need you in Europe! Cross the ocean friends!
NOT reef friendly 2
Anon from Undisclosed
I just wanted to say that this product is not reef friendly as it contains Avobenzone, homosalate, etc. Just wanted to let people know.
Awesome! 5
Lynn from Undisclosed
The sunblock is amazing. It doesn‚'t irritate eyes and it isn‚'t think like others I‚'ve tried. The kids love it, and I was delighted by my delivery from Sun Bum. I will always order direct! Great product and great company!!

If I could give less stars I would 1
Emmy from CO
I use lots of different sunscreens and I'm not a person who has a lot of allergies. None actually. This has to be the worst product I've ever used and believe everyone should avoid it at all costs. Actually all their products. I use to use their lip balms/Chapsticks and I got the worst blister and sun burns on my lips. My lips dried, cracked, bled, blistered. They were sunburns as well as chemical burns. I decided years later to give them an other chance and try their 50 spf sunscreen. My entire face broke out in hives, my fired, eyes, and neck cracked bled and peeled. I haven't aged since I was 21(I'm 29 now) and after a couple uses of this product all the years have aging have caught up with me in a matter of weeks. I've been left with large pores, creases, crow's feet, and premature advanced aging. Once the symptoms subdued I was left with two black eyes and bags under my eyes. Never use sunbum in your life.
Very confused 1
Sophia from N/A
I don't burn super easily and when I do it's pretty mild. The burn I typically get will be gone the next day, and I don't peel. I used this sunscreen, and I don't know if I didn't wait long enough before going out in the sun, or if I'm allergic to it.. but after using it I got the worst sunburn I ever had in my life! I have scars on my shoulders because the burn got so deep and it was extremely painful. I have no idea what happened or if the product caused that. Super confused and disappointed.
Unsafe ingredients 1
RL from Undisclosed
Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, and Octocrylene are not safe on the skin. Mineral sunblock is 100% better. Plus this has tons of nasties. Why put it on your body when you can‚'t pronounce the words and put a picture to it?
Covered in a rash 1
K. from Undisclosed
For a sunscreen that claims they're all natural; don't use if you have sensitive skin. I broke out in a rash covering every part of my body the sunscreen was on. Now I'm an itchy mess. Who wants to be on the beach when you're covered in a rash? Be careful if you too have sensitive skin. This sunscreen isn't for you.
PERFECT 5

Love your products. They keep me protected from the sun, as well as moisturized and smelling so good :blush:
Worst sunburn 1
Mike from New Jersey
I have never wrote a review before , but needed to after using this. I reapplied every 30 minutes after being in the sun (UV 10) for 3 hours. I've never had such bad sunburn after the beach. My whole body is painfully red and broken out in blisters. I'm going on 4 days of pain. Everyone's body is different and reacts to things differently but definitely still wanted to share my experience. I used the face stick and my face is perfectly fine. This sunscreen is just by far the worst.
SoCal girl approved!! 5

Been using SB for years now and this is the real deal! Non toxic for my whole family and reef safe. They have so many amazing products apart from just this one. The smell reminds me of my childhood growing up in San Diego which is a bonus!
Best sunscreen I've ever found for my fair, sensitive skin 5
Dee from Michigan
When it gets in the upper 80's, low 90's, of course I spend as much time as I can in our pool. I've tried NUMEROUS products throughout the years and honestly, SunBum 30 SPF is the only one that I have never had a sunburn after application. Six hours straight in the pool, a few extra applications of the spray, I was not burnt a bit. I would highly recommend this product.
Beautiful scent lightweight 5
FragranceFreakazoid from South Carolina
Use it every day and I swim every day, always on the Lake in addition to the pool. I tan easy but still need protection. This applies a little thick at first but is not greasy and then feels lightweight. Is not leaving a trail of film in the pool which is wonderful. I wish however the scent was stronger for that beach pool smell. It is lightly scented. I will continue to purchase the product,
stings my eyes 2
Ren from Flint, MI
I did half 30 and half 50 of the same brand and 30 won out easy. 50 stung my face, my eyes, and the white was a bit tougher to rub in. I want my sunscreen to be like a moisturizer, I don't wanna "make" it work for me. So yeah I'll be using this on my chest and neck for sure. 30 is perfect for face.
