Most Helpful Positive Review It's my favorite I am a budget buyer, but the Sun Bum products are just truly amazing I will pay a little extra for it. Plus I have really sensitive skin and their products leave my skin in better condition; moistured and soft. Also, you don't have to reply it all the time...trust the BUM! It's the only one I will buy. The rest of product line is great too, I love the face stick, spray sunscreen and chap sticks.
Most Helpful Critical Review Smells Great, Not Very Moisturizing It's advertised as a moisturizing sunscreen, but I found that it was not. I went out of town for two days and only brought this sunscreen for lotion because I knew I would be using it a ton of it and Id only need it for two days. My skin was so dry on the first afternoon, I used half the bottle on my legs and they still felt no relief. I don't like the texture of the lotion either, it feels grainy to me.
As for the sunscreen part, it's amazing. It works really well and smells wonderful. I wish all sunscreen smelled this great.

For a drugstore sunscreen this is actually really great. I'm a nc42 in MAC and this spf never gives me any cast even using the proper full tablespoon amount. It has a natural finish and it dries and sets quickly.

Paula from Boston, MA
Sunscreen absorbs quickly and is not greasy or overly smelly. My skin feels softer after using this
Great basic sunscreen 4
Slimespawn from Phoenix, AZ
Ultimately, I really like this sunscreen. It smells great and it is on the more lightweight side. However, it isn't as lightweight as I had hoped. However, I'm a little bias because I LOVE Shiseido's sunscreens which are very lightweight and matte. I use this as a base and use the Sun Bum SPF 30 spray to reapply. I have found that this combo is best for days spent in the water! However, it is a little thick for dry everyday SPF in my opinion. Again, I'm a little spoiled on Shiseido lol! Like every sunscreen, it is very important to wait for it to completely set (15 minutes) before sun exposure to ensure proper sun protection and to make sure it stays in place.
Banana coconut goodness 5

This sunscreen is the best and smells fantastic. I definitely feel like a beach babe.
Great sunscreen! 5
Kaelyn from Pennsylvania
Prefect for a beach trip! I used this sunscreen and it helped me so much for burning. I burn easily and bad, but this sunscreen protected me. Even when I went into the water I didn't burn.
I would buy this product again and again! 5
Kiki from Louisiana
Great smell and protection
The best sunscreen 5
Carol from Kalamazoo, MI
Sun Bum truly has great products and I can not recommend them enough! I recently switched from cheap drug store sunscreens full of chemicals and I have been so happy with Sun Bum! Their products work and they are worth the extra money- protecting your skin is so important and you SHOULD spend extra to take care of it!
No white cast!! 4
Mari from New York
I know sunscreen is important and a Black woman I'm finally started to take it seriously. My only concern was putting it on my face because of the white cast. I don't wanna look like a ghost everyday. Thankfully this sunscreen is Black girl friendly-no white cast left behind!! A small amount goes a long way. It has a coconut-y smell so if you're sensitive to fragrances, avoid.
Love this!! 5
Jay from Albuquerque NM
I highly recommend this product. I use it to tan and the first time I used it, I only went 15 minutes on each side and I already had tan lines and I do not get sunburnt!!
Great product 5
adeline from rochester ny
It rubs on well and smells very good! My skin doesn't feel dry and I only burn if I miss a spot
Not allergy friendly 3
Allergictosunscreen from Wisconsin
I am allergic to all sunscreens except for no-ad. This has the same active ingredients so I thought I would try it. Turns out this one gives me a rash too.
The smell is excellent and it's reasonably priced! Would definitely use if I could!
Great go to for protection from wrinkles 5
Tiffany from Hollywood florida
I put it on before makeup after shower, wait 15 min apply makeup and I'm good for the day!
Great! 5
Emily from Columbus, Ohio
The smell was obviously a big selling point for me, and it smells like bananas, coconuts, vanilla, and tropical beaches! This is much less greasy and not sticky at all and spreads over the skin easily. Definitely a winner!
Best sunscreen! 5
Lola from CT
Have been using Sun Bum for years. Great stuff. Ulta had a buy one get one 1/2 off plus $3.50 coupon. Really good deal.
Really good sunblock without the harsh chemicals. 5

I'm a red head and never burn with this stuff. I love it
Love Sun Bum Products! 5
K27 from Plainfield, IL
I love the Sun Bum products! This was great for protection against the harsh Florida sun, but was very moisturizing to my skin!
Worth the price 5
Katie from Columbia, SC
I'm pale and burn almost as soon as I go into the sun. I've tried every sunscreen on the market, nothing seemed to work. I came across SunBum, thought it was expensive for sunscreen, but I've had countless pool days and have spent a lot of time outside, have not gotten burnt once while using SunBum. It's expensive, but worth it! Smells like sunshine, absorbs nicely. I'm a fan
Very drying 2
Beach girl from Ocean City MD
Very drying, even reapplied during the day. Left a chalky feel
I broke out... 😞😞😞 1
H.Jebita from US
I know this sunscreen has a lot of good reviews but unfortunately I got red bumps all over my body. I wanted to make sure that it really was this product that broke me out so I stopped using it for a week and the bumps were gone. When I put it on again the bumps immediately came back. I have acne prone skin at the moment and this made my face and arms get little red bumps.
Best sunscreen ever! 5
Ali from Aston, PA
This sunscreen not only works great, but it smells good too! It applied very easily and a quarter-sized amount covered one leg entirely so I guess a little goes a long way. I tan very easily but occasionally get a little red if I miss a spot. I used this at the beach this past weekend, applied it one time and was good to go for 5 hours! I've used really inexpensive sunscreens, all the way up to expensive French sunscreens, and this honestly works the best out of them all. It works so well in fact that I almost regret getting the 30 SPF because I got absolutely no color! Also, the bottle shape is really nostalgic and reminds me of Coppertone sunscreens from when we were kids. Sun Bum is also reef-safe which is a plus!
This is a great product!.smells like the beach! 5
