How To Use

Dispense SPF 30 sunscreen in hand and apply to body. We recommend working from head to toe so you don't accidentally miss a limb. If you need help reaching your back, ask a friend — that's what they're for. Apply SPF 30 lotion liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and allow it to absorb. Reapply at least every two hours. Apply more sunscreen frequently after swimming/sweating, or after an aggressive towel dry. Always offer to share.

How often should I reapply?

Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating and toweling off.

Yellow clouds icon
Do I need sunscreen when it’s cloudy?

Yup, 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means you can still get fried.

Yellow sun icon
When should I avoid sun?

We know it’s tough, but try to limit sun exposure when the sun’s rays are most intense (10am to 4pm).

yellow wave icon
Do I need SPF in the snow and water?

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.

Does my newborn need protection too?

Keep newborns out of direct sunlight and always cover them with shade. Check with your pediatrician, before applying sunscreen to children under 6 months.
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.

We've Got Answers

How Often Should You Apply Sunscreen Lotion?

Every 80 minutes is the sweet spot. Sunscreen breaks down over time (especially if you're swimming, sweating, or drying off), so reapplying every two hours keeps your skin protected and happy. Keep a bottle nearby—beach bag, car, backpack, whatever—so you can take your skincare and suncare to-go. Your skin will thank you.

Which Is Better, Sunscreen Lotion or Cream?

It depends on what your skin’s into. Sunscreen lotion is usually lighter, so it spreads easier and feels less sticky—great for everyday use or when you're on the go. Creams are thicker and more moisturizing, which makes them a solid pick for dry or sensitive skin. Both get the job done, so it really comes down to how your skin vibes with the texture.

How Do You Choose Sunscreen Lotion?

First up: check that it’s broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or higher. That’s your baseline. If you’ve got dry skin, look for hydrating ingredients. Sensitive? Go fragrance-free. And if you’re headed into the water, make sure it’s water-resistant. The best sunscreen is the one you’llactually want to wear—so find one that feels good on your skin and fits seamlessly into your daily scene.

Q&A

can you ship to Perth in WA, Australia
Hey there, thanks so much for reaching out! At the moment we are not set up to ship outside of the U.S. We hope to be available to everyone one day, but we just aren't ready yet. We're still growing, and we're stoked that you want to grow with us! Though we aren't ready to ship that far just yet, we've got your information on file, and will be in touch in the future if this changes! Have a great day! With love, Sun Bum
Does this sweat and drip in eyes like the other known sunscreens do
Hi Sue, thanks so much for reaching out! This product has a fragrance which can be an irritant for the sensitive areas of the face. Some tricks that we use to avoid this is to try a non-chemical sunscreen such as our Mineral line or by using our water-resistant Signature line. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com :) xo, SB
Our there any nut oils in your products? I had an allergic reaction to the 30 proof face lotion, and I am trying to figure it out.
Hi Crista, thanks so much for reaching out! Outside of Coconuts, Kukui Nuts, and Argan oil, which some consider a tree nut, we don’t use nuts in any of our Baby Bum or Sun Bum products. But we don’t currently have a program in place to certify our manufacturing facilities as nut-free so cannot guarantee zero traces. For any allergy concerns, consult your doctor before you use any of our stuff just to be safe. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com :) xo, SB
I noticed the bottle no longer says non-comedogenic like my previous bottle did. Is it non-comedogenic.
Hi Tom, thanks so much for reaching out! Our Original Line of sun care products and our Mineral line are all non-comedogenic so they are oil free and won't clog pores! xo, SB
Does this clog pores or cause acne?
Hi Ali, thanks so much for reaching out! Our Original Line of sun care products and our Mineral line are all non-comedogenic so they are oil free and won't clog pores! xo, SB
