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.

"I wasn't sure if this was gong to leave my skin white or not, but it rubs in well! Will definitely be buying again!"
"Super difficult to get the pump bottle to start working. All 3 of them I got. The stuff inside is great on the lake."
"The Mineral formula is light and frangrance free- worked great for my trip to Aruba, no sunburn for me!"
"The best mineral sunscreen. It blends in well and doesn't leave a white residue. Also recommend the tinted mineral face cream. I frequently visit the Caribbean and have tried various mineral sunscreens and Sun Bum out performs all."
"This sunscreen is amazing. It feels GREAT on, does the job, and is a small enough bottle to take on trips. I've tried many sunbum sunscreens (and love them all) but I think this one is my favorite."
"Used on surf trip in Costa Rica"
"First time buyer, applies well and absorbent."
"The best I’ve ever used! Besides, in being such a great product, their customer service is exceptional."
"So far so good. Easy peasy ordering, haven’t left on vacation yet to use the product. Going to Hawaii so we can’t wait to use to enjoy the sunshine."
"I am so disappointed the coconut smell has been taken out of the Sun Bum mineral version. It used to be a very subtle but pleasant smell, but the new formulation smells rancid - I bought two bottles and am shocked at how terrible it smells. Used to be hands down my go to mineral sunscreen, but without the coconut smell, it's just the "Baby Bum" version."
