Product summary

We assess that "Sun Bum - Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion & SPF 50 Clear Face Lotion" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

This moisturizer should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: oxybenzone 3.00% (declared), avobenzone 2.00% (declared), butyloctyl salicylate 4.50% - 6.70%, octisalate 2.00% (declared), homosalate 5.00% (declared) and octocrylene 1.85% (declared).
