Kept Me Safe From the Hawaii Sun!

My husband and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. Few things to note: 1. I am a PASTY white girl who freckles and burns before ultimately having a tan. The sun is my mortal enemy. 2. I HATE sunscreen that isn’t a spray (normally). 3. I have VERY sensitive skin that hates most sunscreens. This. Sunscreen. Is. The. Best. Easy to apply, easy to rub in and doesn’t feel greasy, and I actually really like the smell. My husband, who tans in 5 minutes, also really liked it. We would apply consistently during the days at the beach and neither of us burned at all! Best decision I ever made. Note: DO RE-APPLY. This ain’t a sunscreen you can just rub and go. It needs to settle into your skin, and you need to reapply every 2 hours. New favorite sunscreen!

My Must Have/Go To Sunscreen

I love the smell of this lotion! Also it's a little bit thicker than most which I prefer as it actually feels like I'm coated and protected with a nice layer of sunscreen verse the sunscreens out there that have the consistency of water almost. Also love that this brand is vegan and cruelty free and doesn't contain a ton of harmful ingredients. And as a Floridian I'm sopporting a homegrown company when I use Sun Bum! A++

The best sunscreen ever made!

I absolutely love this sunscreen!! I am very pale and burn easily, so I have to put a ton on before I go out in the sun. It isnt greasy, or heavy. It goes on smooth and smells amazing!!! It's perfect coverage without feeling like you're wearing any. I love putting it on, even if I'm not going out in the sun because I love the smell of it. You will not be disappointed with this product. I leave one in my purse and in my house so I always have it with me. Its worth the price! I have never been this excited about sunscreen.

Like "Summer in a Bottle!" Great product.

I can safely say that this sunscreen has way exceeded my expectations. Normally I wouldn't write a rave review about such a product, but I am quite impressed for the following reasons: Scent- I was a bit skeptical at first about as to whether or not I'd like the scent just from reading its description. The best descriptor is a combination of banana and coconut. Might sound gross, but the scent gets an A+ in my book. This is saying quite a bit coming from someone like me, who is generally sensitive to certain fragrances. Also, the smell isn't too overpowering - it is definitely noticeable, but in a good way. It creates a nice, summery vibe, while not having a bad chemical smell. Consistency- Not oily/greasy! It does have a bit of a "lotion-like" feel (duh!) when putting it on, compared to some of the "dry" sunscreens out there. Nonetheless, it rubs in quite well, and the feel isn't even noticeable when fully rubbed in. The water resistance is a plus, and one thing that stood out to me was despite being water resistant, this sunscreen isn't one that almost creates a "film" or causes water to "bead." -All in all, very satisfied, and the high SPF is nice as well.

This is the best sunscreen I have ever used. Seriously.

I am a pale, pale lady with majorly sensitive skin who has used probably every sunscreen product on the planet, because I love the outdoors. I've done cheap (Target, Neutrogena, Coppertone, Bullfrog), expensive (Shiseido, La Roche-Posay, MD Solarsciences, Obagi), chemical sunscreens, physical sunscreens, natural/organic sunscreens, gels, creams, sprays- you name it. Before I found this my go-to had been Banana Boat Kid SPF 50, which works really well, but leaves some major white residue on your skin and everywhere else. But it worked, so I stuck with it. Until now. This is the best. I bought it for a trip to Mexico and managed, for the first time in my life, to come back from vacation without a burn. It worked all day from one application during a completely cloudless week on the beach, even after multiple trips into the ocean. It smells pretty decent (though my one wish would be that there was a fragrance-free option). It's not too greasy and there is very minimal skin to clothing transfer. And the best part- I didn't end up looking like I was signing up for kabuki theater. It's pretty hard when you're super-pale to find a sunscreen that you can apply and forget about all day, not having to constantly worry about reapplication, trying to find a shady spot, or looking like you've just brushed white paint all over your body. I think I just found a secret weapon.

I LOVE This Sunscreen! :D

I don't burn easily. I am one of those people who tan but don't burn. However, moving to a place where it's on fire pretty much all the time, I was told that most people in their right mind get sunscreen. I'm out in the sun for half of the day so the chances of getting burned have now tripled. So, after being told numerous times from friends, family, and even an authority that I should get sunscreen, I searched the beauty that is Amazon for the sunscreen perfectly suited for me. I wanted a sunscreen that doesn't just sit there on the skin; where I basically feel like a walking moist trap for any bugs passing by. This Sun Bum sunscreen absorbs RIGHT into my skin, within minutes! My skin feels so smooth and even hours after the sunscreen has dissolved and evaporated, it left my skin feeling waaay smoother than usual. That in my book is a job well done. But on top of it all, this sunscreen smells fluffing amazing! It smells like basic sunscreen mixed with honey, vanilla, and just a hint of baby; yes, a baby. Babies smell good, okay? LOL. I love this sunscreen, every time I've used it, I've never gotten burned or tanned. I feel super protected from the sun's burning desire to provoke skin cancer to all the weak and innocent! Thank you Sun Bum. I look forward to buying you again. PS: If anything bad happens with the sunscreen, I will update this post to let any passing Amazon viewers know. Hope this helps!

Overall, I really like this sunscreen!

Pros: - Seems to work very well - when I reapply properly I haven’t gotten burned! - Broad Spectrum - I like the banana-ish smell - Blends in well with skin - no white cast - Vegan and cruelty-free - Bottle design looks nice - Not drying - hydrating! Possible cons: - I’ve heard some dermatologists worry about fragrance in sunscreens being irritating. However, this fragrance has not irritated my skin and I’ve recommended this sunscreen to several people. Hasn’t irritated their skin either. If you have sensitive skin though, maybe try applying on a small spot first. - Has Avobenzone for UVA protection, which is good for UVA protection but by itself degrades somewhat quickly over time when exposed to light. However, this sunscreen also has octocrylene, which is supposed to stabilize Avobenzone to some degree. In the USA, we have no rating for UVA protection like we have for UVB protection (SPF). UVB is what causes a sun burn, but UVA can still cause bad skin damage. However, because this sunscreen is labelled as broad spectrum and because it has octocrylene with Avobenzone, it’s probably about as good UVA protection as you’ll get in American chemical sunscreens. Just make sure you reapply if you’re going to be outside a lot! - The bottle’s paint started peeling somewhat after a few months. Not a big deal, but something I noticed. Overall, I do really like this as a chemical American sunscreen and would recommend it!

Winner, Winner!

Okay so, all I can I say is that this stuff is a great sunscreen. It smells great (my youngest son says it smells like summer :) like Banana's), doesn't leave a white film, doesn't sting mine or my families eyes, no rashes, no splotchy stuff. I feel protected and don't come home sun burned. My skin feels great and looks great. Most of the sun screens that are 30 or more SPF that I have tried... I end up with this white filmy, residue stuff that I can't rub in and that annoying factor is gone with this! It rubs in great and protects great. I have sensitive skin as does my husband. Heavy lotions and sunscreens leaves my skin feeling greasy all day and leaves behind clogged pores. Not so with Sun Bum... It's a winner!

Aloe-free! Dry skin friendly

This product is great! I am allergic to aloe and gluten, and do my best to purchase cruelty free and vegan products. There's a faint fragrance of banana and coconut in it (but no actual banana; I'm allergic and I'd get hives if it were), but it's not overpowering at all and goes away fairly quickly. I get migraines from fragrance typically, but not this one. It's also decently hydrating for a sunscreen, and I don't get a white cast like I do with others. I'm very pale, so I can't say for certain if this will be friendly on darker skin tones, but I'm a tentative yes on that. For the quality and price, it's worth trying!

Our new go-to

We have 4 people in our family. Two of them have fair skin and 1 of them had melanoma. We pay very close attention to skin care in the summer, escpecially since we spend most days in a pool, on a boat, or at the beach. Our daughter is the fairest skinned and we struggle every year with sunburns with her. We’ve tried every product out there and some are very good, but until now, none have been GREAT. Sun Bum is GREAT. We started using Sun Bum products this summer based on a friends recommendation. We are all in on Sun Bum products now...hair care, sunblock, etc. all of them are fantastic products. All other sunblocks will promptly be discarded. Safer than many others, great coverage & feel on your skin, smells amazing. If it’s trusted my lifeguards in Hawaii, that’s telling you something. And we can vouch for that. I’d also highly recommend the face 50...that has been a godsend for our daughter as she’s always in the water and rubbing the water away from her eyes...the sun bum 50 really stays on longest and provides the best protection we’ve found.
