Sun Bum Original SPF 70 Sunscreen Body Lotion - 8 oz | Broad Spectrum Moisturizing Sunscreen with Vitamin E, Hawaii 104 Act Compliant (Made without Octinoxate & Oxybenzone)

I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens over the years, and this one has become one of my favorites for everyday use. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling greasy or sticky. I also appreciate that it doesn’t leave a heavy white cast like some other sunscreens I’ve used. The scent is pleasant and beachy without being overpowering, which makes it nice to wear daily. I used it during a long afternoon outside and didn’t get burned, even in pretty strong sun. Overall, this feels like a sunscreen I actually want to wear consistently, which says a lot because I usually dislike the feel of SPF products.

I bought this a little skeptical that it’d work well with my skin type. I’m mixed and usually no matter what sunscreen I use, or how high the spf I always burn the first long, hot and sunny day I’m outdoors especially when I’m in the water. Used it for my first group paddle board meet up, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it works for me. I didn’t burn!!! The scent is amazing and no white cast or oily residue after application either!

Smells great, keeps my pale, melanoma-prone skin from burning, and allows me to enjoy the pool or beach with my family without worrying about burning. I buy this every summer.

This is my favorite sunscreen body lotion. I repurchased because it goes on my skin so silky and I don't feel super greasy with it either. I also like the smell, honestly the fragrance is very subtle. I have applied it to my face and did not notice any break outs, even when I apply it under my makeup.

I have always been pale and get the worst sunburn. this is the BEST sunscreen that I’ve tried. if i use this lotion as a base layer and then use the sunbum spray to reapply as needed, i never burn. plus it smells great!!

Claims that this white lotion can be rubbed into the skin and essentially disappear (other than your skin looking a tad moist, which is never a bad thing) are absolutely correct. You do need to rub it in for a bit (maybe 15 seconds) but it'll blend in nicely. Other modern sunscreens only truly blend in as your body heat thins them out, and if you are riding in a car with the A\C blasting, you can emerge from your ride looking like someone slapped a bunch of white paint on your face, legs, whatever. That's not the case here. In terms of aesthetics, this stuff is fantastic. And as for the comments about smelling like a pina colada, I'm not really getting that sort of vibe. To me, the scent is mild and not offensive. Given the fact that my preferred sunblock (Bullfrog SPF 36 Surfer Formula clear gel with 8 hours of waterproof protection) has gone the way of the flip phone, I'm very OK with the Sun Bum option even though it'll need reapplication about every hour and 15 minutes. I've deducted a star because of the big font announcements on the product page that this stuff is Hawai'i Act 104 reef-compliant because it doesn't contain oxybenzone or octinoxate. This is certainly true, but that simply gives the misleading impression that you can pack this stuff for your trip to Maui or wherever, confident in the knowledge that you are complying with both the the spirit and letter of the law. That is most certainly not true. The sunscreen industry really didn't mind Act 104, because there are many replacements for oxybenzone or octinoxate, such as homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. These last three ingredients are exactly what's in Sun Bum and just about every other sunblock on the market that creates a chemical "sponge" to absorb UV radiation. Those who pushed hardest for a complete ban on any chemical lotions that could possibly harm reefs were livid that those three ingredients (particularly octocrylene and homosalate) were still permitted, as they really wanted to shift over to mineral-based lotions that simply create a physical shield against the sun, which is what zinc oxide and titanium dioxide formulas do. Unfortunately, as everyone who has ever seen an early 1960s surfing movie knows, mineral-based sunblocks last for many hours in all their white goop glory. The upshot of all of this is that while Sun Bum can be legally brought to and bought in the state of Hawaii and is indeed Act 104 compliant, on some of the islands it's still illegal to use it in the water. That's the case for Maui, where Ordinance No. 5306 has prohibited ALL sunscreens and sunblocks since late 2022 UNLESS they are made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Same for the Big Island's Bill 167 which also went into effect in late 2022. And I'm not quite sure about this, but it is very possible that the allowed mineral-based lotions must be nano-particle free. Even in places around the world where none of the offending chemicals are officially banned, using even a Act 104-compliant sunscreen at a hippie-dippy eco-lodge or yoga retreat will get you a serious case of stink eye at a minimum, and potentially a ban on going in the local waters until you buy what they want you to. My recommendation: Buy Sun Bum 70 for your vacation and use it liberally as you go shopping, clubbing, sightseeing, whatever. It's great stuff for that sort of running around while trying to look decent. But in your backpack make sure you have a tube of non-nano zinc oxide or titanium dioxide formula to apply when you decide to hit the water. Better to buy a mineral-based screen at your local megastore rather than paying top dollar at your hotel gift shop.

I’d never heard of this brand and decided to try it and I’m glad I did. It smells great and applies to even better. It doesn’t leave a cast.

This sunscreen is very very good. I am an extremely pale person who burns in 5 minutes. I was in Miami Beach walking around for 6 hours without any cover or clouds and I was incredibly worried about being burned. I didn't have to reapply or anything and I did not get burned. It was like I hadn't been out in the sun at all. I'm very impressed with the quality of this product and I will be only purchasing this product from now on as a sunscreen. Oh and I almost forgot that I put it on one day about an hour before I went into the ocean and I did not get burned and I didn't reapply

Good sun protection, even when doing outdoor sports, smells great.

The texture is very rich, gives a dewy finish. Packagw size is just amazing for a whole family use. Highly recommended.

I come back to Sun Bum time and again, it smells heavenly, absorbs nicely and stays on. The only choice is UV level which depends on the day

Ich habe es in Thailand benutzt. Kein Sonnenbrand, daher klare Empfehlung.

Smells fab, depending on what holiday id be going on, id use spf 50 and still burn - with this i dont burn at all and get the best tan!
