Say hello to Daily, the sunscreen that thinks it’s a moisturizer. We think it’s just the thing to keep you covered for all the weird (and cool!) stuff you’ll get into today.

All-day hydration, cuz our skin needs it with everything we put it through.

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).

"Love this product … it’s so silky soft. I wear u see my make up"
"Worked well for sun protection and was a good matte feeling on the skin. I didn’t like the smell or feeling of it though, just my personal preference. I prefer the oiliness of the regular daily lotion. I have normal/combo skin so it can handle the extra oil, however; I can see how this would be a better choice for those with oily skin."
"Great sunscreen gel, no cast or sheen after applying. SPF gels are pricey in general, but this one is much more reasonably priced than the other ones out there. And I find it worth it to not have that feeling of heaviness and greasiness on my face from regular spf creams. I switched over to this from unseen and it is the same quality for about half the price! I have noticed that it can get kind of watery if I don’t shake it up before use, but that’s not a problem for me. I also have sensitive skin and have done well with this for several months now."
"It is so good I don’t even know how to describe it I love sun bum so much and this one is js like the second best"
"Love this product it’s very lightweight not heavy"
"I have skin cancer and have tried lots of sun screens but I love Sun bum"
"It is a good sized package to try for the summer"
"Daily Gel packets were a customer service bonus that was appreciated. I called Sun Bum when our almost full SPF 30 spray can malfunctioned and stopped working. We had a FREE new replacement within a week. If you want a company that stands behind their products, I would highly suggest the Sun Bum company."
"I've been teaching sailing for a living for over 41 years and depend on Original SPF Face Cream to stay in business. It keeps me going."
"This stuff is the absolute best! I received a sample from Sun Bum when I ordered something else and I had to order the full size right away. I spend a lot of time outside and wearing SPF daily is a must. I have oily skin. I was using a different gel-like moisturizer before that worked well, but still left my skin shiny and oily. This gel has a matte finish and it also helps my pores to appear smaller. My skin feels great all day, even under make-up and sweat."
