What's an SPF?

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) on a bottle of sunscreen indicates the level of protection we're getting from the sun's UVB rays—which are the sun rays most commonly responsible for sunburns and skin cancer.

How SPF Is Calculated and Why Does It Matter?

SPF, which stands for Sun Protection Factor, has been used for decades to determine the level of protection someone can expect from the sunscreen they use. It can often vary from person to person given multiple factors such as testing methods and environmental factors. In addition, everyone’s skin is different, which can also affect what kind of SPF is best suited to fit their individual needs.

A common misperception is that the SPF number on a bottle signifies the amount of time you can spend in the sun without getting burned (30 minutes for SPF 30, 50 minutes for SPF 50 etc.) This is not accurate. In fact, the SPF rating system is far more complex and based on the degree to which a certain formula protects against the sun’s harmful UVB rays over a certain period of time. For example, a sunscreen with a rating of SPF 30 allows only 3 photons per 100 to penetrate the skin, meaning it shields approximately 97% of the sun’s harmful UVB rays. This roughly translates to 30 times the protection you’d have versus using no sunscreen at all. This extends to SPF 50 (98% or 50 times the protection) and SPF 70 (98.5% or 70 times the protection). The length of time that a sunscreen will protect you from sunburn will vary based on the UV index at the time as well as other factors.

At Sun Bum, we like to think we make sun care products for everyone. So, whether your SPF preference is 30 or 50, mineral or non-mineral, lotion or spray, you can stay protected from the sun’s harmful rays. As noted by the Skin Cancer Foundation, “The best sunscreen is the one you’ll use.”

How Do Global Standards to Assess SPF Differ?

Global SPF assessment standards have been updated several times over the years, with the most recent update in 2019. The purpose of these updates—which were led by regional regulators and groups such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—was to reduce the variability of SPF assessments. Currently, even the globally recognized “gold standard” SPF test — the in-vivo test known as SPF ISO-24444 — is subject to considerable variability due to the inherent human biases built into the testing process (Ruvolo, Yousefian,International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Dec. 2025). Because of this, there is an increasing call for governments and regulators to update the testing protocols and standards they recommend for manufacturers to follow — for example, using the HDRS-ISO 23698 test: an in vivo/in vitro hybrid that addresses some of the more subjective factors common with in-vivo only testing. (Ruvolo, Yousefian,International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Dec. 2025).

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 1 in 5 Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. We wanna change that.

We've Got Answers

What is hazmat? Why can't it be shipped to Hawaii, Alaska, or a PO Box?

Some of our products (made with compressed air or containing alcohol) are regulated as hazardous materials (i.e. “Hazmat”) when shipping. You don’t need to worry about what’s inside the products—those are made with good stuff.

How Do You Take Care of Your Skin After a Sunburn?

So, you overdid it. Been there. The good news? You can help your skin bounce back. Start with a cool (but not freezing) shower to wash off any salt, sweat, or sunscreen buildup. Then, slather on a hydrating lotion with ingredients like aloe or soy to help calm and replenish your skin. If you’re feeling extra sensitive, wear loose, breathable clothing to keep things comfortable. And whatever you do, hands off the peeling skin. Let your body do its thing, stay moisturized, and give your skin the time it needs to heal up.

Does After Sun Care Work?

Yep, but let’s keep it real—after sun care won’t magically erase sun damage. What it can do is help calm redness, reduce inflammation, and keep your skin from drying out and peeling. Ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin E, and coconut oil work together to cool, hydrate, and nourish sun-exposed skin. And if you did get a little too much sun, using after sun products can make the recovery process way more comfortable.

What Is the Best Thing to Do After the Sun?

First thing's first—hydrate. Inside and out. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover from any moisture loss, and slather on a soothing after sun lotion or gel (bonus points if it’s packed with aloe or coconut oil). If you’re feeling extra toasty, a cool shower or bath can help take the heat out of your skin. And don’t forget to moisturize—keeping your skin hydrated helps prevent peeling and your skin feeling fresh—so you’re ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Reviews

Highly recommend after sun care products from Sun Bum

"This is another absolute must! This one is great when I am out and about with family and friends and don't have time to lather anything on my skin. I just need to spray and go. Smells great and it does the job of soothing and cooling that I need."

Jennifer C. (5/5)

Feels nice and smells sooo

"Feels nice and smells sooo good! And it doesn’t leave that sticky feeling"

Jenifer S. (5/5)

Cool Down

"I don't use it that often, I tan more than I burn. If I do slightly burn on my arms or shoulders, it definitely provides relief. I will keep it in my cooler while on the river and spray it on if I happen to start getting hot."

Aly V. (5/5)

oil based but DOES WORK WONDERS

"Got burned to a crisp and the rub on one's obviously wasn't going to work when you can't touch your skin. This is oil based so yes it is (greasy) but serious relief and quick recovery if continue use. Give it a few tries and you'll see a huge difference!!"

lss (5/5)

Future of sun crisp

"Love it. Spray it on in the shower to avoid it getting on floor, quick rub on and good to go, from the fridge it’s cooling and being really fair skinned it has saved my bacon . Will be a dedicated brand buyer after using it as it is so good. Lovely glow off skin and not a bit greasy after a few mins. Skin feels hydrated all night"

Annette (5/5)

big disappointment

"way too greasy, no cooling effect. can't understand how this formula even makes it to the shelves."

bert (1/5)

Way to Oily

"This is the worst product. It sits on top of your skin so theres no way you can possibly get dressed after. Its worse than the consistency of baby oil."

April S. (1/5)

Not great

"This spray seems to be very oily every time I apply. I would probably stick with aloe if you need an after sun product."

Nick (2/5)

Very greasy, not cooling.

"Nothing about it is cooling. It’s extremely greasy and doesn’t let your skin breathe at all once applied. The scent is also very strong and cleaner-like. You have to push the trigger pretty hard to get the spray to make a mist rather than a tiny jet."

Alessandra (1/5)

Good
