Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Sun Bum - Original SPF50 Lotion" can offer reliable sun protection. 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).
Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: avobenzone 2.50% - 3.10%, butyloctyl salicylate 1.60% - 2.00%, octisalate 3.20% - 3.90%, homosalate 3.60% - 4.40% and octocrylene 5.20% - 6.40%.
