Most Helpful Positive Review Yay for sun Bum Love it! It so nice in this stick form to swipe on your face! I just wish it came in SPF 50. It has the best coconut/doublebubble smell! Will definitely repurchase.
Most Helpful Critical Review Thick formula & heavy on skin I like the lotion formulas of sunscreen by Sun Bum, so thought I'd try this convenient looking stick. I've used similar products in the past, but this one is my least favorite by far. Using the wide stick size allows for faster coverage - very nice. However this product made my face feel like it could not breathe. It didn't feel like it was ever actually getting into my skin, but more coating a heavy, thick, sticky, glaze. Also makes my face pour sweat; not to mention feeling like you're going to overheat. This happened each time I tried using the product on my face - no issue anywhere else (but it IS product geared toward the face). Have never had a product work so poorly. Needless to say I'll definitely not purchase this ever again, but will continue to use the Sun Bum bottled lotion formulas.

I love it! Works amazing for my skin. It is a bit waxy but I don't mind.
Smells great but melted at the beach in like 2 minutes. 2
Hobby S from Miami
Brought to the beach in case I needed to apply more on my face. Opened it up and it all dropped out.
I swear by Sun Bum lotion but I would pass on this 2
Kenna from Portland
I feel like this sunscreen, like most sticks, would work well for constant reapplication on picky kids or on tattoos but I find the formula to be really inferior to their normal lotion. The consistency is more waxy than I'm comfortable with for the face and the convenience factor for me is negated by the fact that you can't leave this out in the sun or even fairly mild heat it will melt. I absolutely would not recommend keeping this in your car if it's warmer than 60 outside. Half of mine melted all over my center console. It functions to keep you from burning but you can find better sunscreen.
Favorite Face Sunscreen!! 5
E from San Ysidro, California
I needed to get a sunscreen for my face so I chose sun bum because I heard that they very eco-friendly. I got this one and I will be buying again! The smell is absolutely amazing!! I love how slick and compact it is. Only down side is that it is kinda greasy but that's only if you put too much on. Just wish it was slightly cheaper.
I would buy this over and over again 5

I use this as the last item of my skincare routine

Smaller then expected 3

The sunscreen smells really nice (kind of like vanilla) and works really well. However, it was a lotttt smaller then expected to be. Overall happy w product not the size.
Summer Necessity 5
Julz from Jersey Shore
I love this stuff! Bought it since I usually get burned and I hate putting lotion sunscreen on my face, and I'm definitely not gonna spray myself in the face. It doesn't make my face look or feel greasy as some people said. You can kind of feel it at first but it is meant to be thick so that it stays on through sweating and swimming. The product lasts a super long time and I've never had it melt from the heat! I've used it many times on sunny days, but really put it to the test this past 4th of July weekend. Three days straight of sun, heat, and humidity. Put this on once in a while and it did a great job! I'm superrrr white and my face got tan but not burned! Only place even slightly red was my nose, but that's honestly pretty expected for me since nothing ever really manages to stay on my nose, such as foundation or concealer since it's the oiliest and most porey part of my face. This is a must have for the summer!
i would not buy this agoin 2
bubba from TX
First off i want to say that the sunscreen is extremely small, kind of like an Elmer's glue stick but flattened. I did not like the feeling it left on my face. It was very greasy and left my face feeling sticky ALL day. It does have a pleasing smell, kind of like coconut, and i felt it worked a little bit. But i will not buy again, its just not for me.
I would purchase this product again. Smells Amazing! 5

Use this product on your face/lips for great smelling sun screen.
Love it 5

Use this for my tattoos!
Seriously... just try it 5
Layla from California
I feel like I've tried it all when it comes to face sunscreen. Everything either makes me break out, it's too thick, leaves a white cast, stings my skin and eyes, constantly needs reapplication... but not this one. Yes, it does feel kind of thick and greasy, but it doesn't make me look oily. I love the stick application because I try to touch my face as little as possible and it's way easier to pack more on this way. This doesn't make me break out and it's totally sweatproof/waterproof.
The biggest con for me is that smell! I can't stand it, someone said it smells like banana laffy taffy and it's completely true. I wish there was an unscented version of this because it honestly makes me a little nauseous, but it's totally worth it for how well it worked for me.
Good for the whole family 5
Gina from Prince George, VA
My whole family loves this product, especially my kids who hate getting all lathered up, and my husband who hates the feel of sunscrren.
Wanted to love this.. 2
Jenny from Milwaukee
This little stick is so handy to throw in a bag and reapply with ease.. but every time I've used this product, I look like a greasy mess. I have normal to dry skin, but I've never looked more oily. Im going to try the regular face sunscreen lotion from sun bum instead
The only facial sunscreen my daughter uses 5
Victoria from Chaska, MN
My young daughter will only use this on her face. At summer care the caregivers aren't allowed to help her put on her sunscreen so this makes it so easy for her to get her face. It smells like bubblegum. She wore it on her cruise and was able to protect her face better than others.
Best face product ever! 5
Disney Runner from Fredericksburg, VA
I love this product! I have worn it while in Disney, at the pool, when running and it works. I love that it isn't greasy and that you don't have to rub it in because you just apply it straight from the stick. My favorite thing is that when I am running it doesn't get in my sweat and burn my eyes like lotions do. Everyone needs this. I use the 30 spf, but they have a 50 spf for people with more sensitive skin.
Smells like banana!!! 🍌 5
Moe from Kansas
This is amazing! I'm obsessed with the banana laffy taffy smell 🍌🥰 it isn't greasy and is soooo easy to use. For someone who doesn't like putting on sunscreen this is a perfect product:)
If you're active in the water! 5
Kelsey from Minnesota
I absolutely love this stuff, but I use it on my lips. It leaves your lips hydrated but with a matte finish. I would recommend this as a lip balm for if you're outside and want spf for the lips. I also enjoy that it doesn't come off in water if you're swimming.
Smells amazing but.. 3
Beth from Fresno
Every skin type is different and personally when I used this product for my skin it did not work well. Even though it smelled amazing but i try this product for about 2 weeks to see how my skin would react but it was greasy texture when applied to my face which would cause me to break outs to occur. Personally I wouldn't use this product for myself.
Love it! 5
Laurelgrace11 from Illinois
Smells like a yellow laffy taffy. My 7 year old hates rub in sunscreens on her face and this was the perfect solution to getting her evenly covered before going out in the sun. Easy to use, not afraid to get in the eyes and the kids love it and it seems to work.
Smells good and it's amazing 5
Emily from California
Amazing for traveling and I use this to reapply all the time in the summer. Really protects skin against sunburn and it smells soooo good like bananas.

Aimtrain from NY
I bought this before a trip to Mexico. I wanted something quick and easy to apply before and while in the sun all day. The banana smell is awesome and it goes on smooth. My skin is very dry, so I am OK with it being a little oily on my face. It makes it feel more moisturized. I used this under the Tinted SPF and I didn't burn at all and was in the sun for 4-5 hours a day.
Can't live without this 5
MiaF from Nh
This mini face stick is my #1 favorite for when I'm out and about. It doesn't feel sticky or oily and it has a really nice banana scent to it.
Best one for my little one 5
Tori from Palm Springs, California
