Our Baby Sunscreen formula was designed with sensitive skin in mind and made without using synthetic fragrances, dyes, or parabens.
Non-nano zinc reflects UVA and UVB rays from the surface of our skin.
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.
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.”
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).
Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating and toweling off.
Yup, 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means you can still get fried.
We know it’s tough, but try to limit sun exposure when the sun’s rays are most intense (10am to 4pm).
Yep. Reflections off water and snow can increase sun exposure by up to 50%. Keep that in mind when you’re surfing or on the slopes.
Keep newborns out of direct sunlight and always cover them with shade. Check with your pediatrician, before applying sunscreen to children under 6 months.

"It feels comfortable on my skin and is easy to apply"
"Works! Reef Safe! Feels great! This stick is only slightly white for a few minutes while applying, which is helpful so you know you didn’t miss a spot. Turns clear. My kids didn’t mind the application and I enjoyed not putting germs and sand on my kids faces with my hands. No burns after a week long Hawaii vacation!!! Used the baby bum Mineral 50 lotion as well for the body. Both felt great on the skin compared to ALL other mineral sunscreens I have used in the past. Will be using Baby Bum sunscreens only from now on."
"I have 2 small children (3 and 1/5), our youngest has severe eczema and we've struggled to find him a sunscreen that doesn't cause him to have flare ups. After a ton of research I found this product at a local store and decided to try it. It worked fantastic! I was so happy to find a clean product that works for my children for all our future Disney trips!"
"Works great stays on great in the water. Also I used it on a three-year-old."
"Bought for baby’s first vacation in Florida. This was great for the ears and face. Our girl wasn’t a fan of having to rub it in a little after using, but it was great for travel and quick mess free use."
"the product is fine, but it said delivered and didn’t get here until 1-2 weeks later. i basically waited 2-3 weeks and had to go to the store and buy a different brand in the meantime, while ordering a competitor who delivered within a week"
"Only sun lotion I've used on my son (now 2yo). Never burnt once using the baby bum stick and he LIVES outdoors! Couldn't recommend more!"
"I love this product. Great for forehead and no sweat dripping in my eyes."
"I do like the gentleness of the ingredients in this formula, I'll give it that. No fragrance is also a plus. However, the wax content requires this be removed with soap; and when applied appropriately (1/8-1/4 tsp product every 2 hrs during sun exposure) I've found I need to wash twice to fully remove it. That much washing is super irritating, and drying, on top of the formulation being drying itself. Another huge downside is the white cast. I'll let the title speak for itself."
"It stinks! Baby Bum lied about it being “fragrance free”! Liar, liar, pants on fire! It also stains my 11-year old face white! It’s stinky, stainy, and sticky!!! Absolutely disgusting. Absolutely appalling. So beware!!! Don’t buy this junk."
