Product Information

HOW TO USE. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating and every 2 hours. Sonny’s Tip: A white tint is normal, as this rad screen sits on top of your skin as opposed to absorbing into your skin!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 80-minute water resistance rating mean I can wear this during swimming or water sports?
Yes! The 80-minute water resistance means you can confidently wear this sunscreen while swimming, kayaking, or during water activities. For extended water exposure, reapply after exiting the water and toweling off. The lightweight 1.7 oz travel size makes it easy to pack a reapplication in your beach or outdoor bag.
Will the matte finish stay put during hiking or outdoor activities with sweat?
Absolutely. The matte finish is designed to resist shine and sweat buildup during active outdoor use. The Vitamin E enriched formula helps it adhere to skin even during physical activity. For all-day outdoor adventures, reapply every 2 hours or after sweating heavily for best protection and appearance.
Is this sunscreen portable enough for backpacking or camping trips?
Perfect for camping and backpacking. The travel size 1.7 oz format is compact, TSA-compliant for carry-on luggage, and lightweight—ideal for minimizing pack weight. The 2-pack variant is great for extended trips or sharing with hiking buddies. Store in a cool, dry place in your gear to maintain formula integrity.
Can I use this during outdoor dining or casual patio time without reapplying constantly?
Yes, especially if you're in partial shade. For direct sun exposure during extended outdoor dining, plan to reapply every 2 hours. The primer function means you can reapply without disrupting your makeup, making touch-ups seamless during outdoor meals or patio hangouts.
Will this work for outdoor activities in hot, humid climates like tropical destinations?
Designed for it. The mineral formula with Vitamin E performs well in heat and humidity. The 80-minute water resistance protects during tropical activities, and it's Hawaii 104 Act compliant—specifically formulated for reef-safe use in environmentally protected waters. The travel size fits perfectly in beach vacation carry-ons too.
How do I apply this mineral sunscreen for best results as both sun protection and primer?
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin and gently massage upward until fully blended. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying makeup (optional). The formula works as a standalone primer, so if you're skipping makeup, apply and let dry for a smooth, protected base. Reapply every 2 hours for prolonged outdoor exposure, or after water activities despite the 80-minute water resistance.
Can I use this on other areas of my face besides my T-zone, like around the eyes or jawline?
Absolutely. This is designed as a full-face sunscreen. Apply to all sun-exposed areas: forehead, cheeks, nose, T-zone, jawline, and ears. Avoid direct eye contact. If you have very sensitive eye areas, test a small amount first. The hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula is gentle for all face zones, but individual sensitivity varies.
Is this sunscreen compatible with makeup, or will it pill or cause makeup to separate?
It's formulated to work beautifully under makeup thanks to its primer function. Wait 1-2 minutes for the sunscreen to set before applying foundation or concealer. The matte finish reduces pilling and separation issues. Many users find they need less foundation since this provides light tinted coverage. Test your specific makeup brand for best compatibility.
Will this work under makeup primers I already own, or should I replace my primer entirely?
This works as a primer replacement, so you typically don't need a separate primer. However, if you prefer an additional primer layer for extra smoothness or specific skin concerns, apply this first, let it dry, then use your preferred primer. The order is: sunscreen (this product) → optional additional primer → makeup.
What's included in the box, and do I need to buy anything separately?
Each purchase includes the 1.7 oz Sun Bum Mineral Face Sunscreen. For single units, you get one bottle. The 2-pack includes two bottles. No additional purchases are required to use the product. You may want to store it in a cool place and use it as part of your existing skincare routine with whatever moisturizer or makeup you already own.
How long does the 1.7 oz bottle last with daily use?
With daily facial application (pea-sized amount), a 1.7 oz bottle typically lasts 2-3 months depending on application frequency and whether you reapply during the day. For frequent outdoor activities or all-day use with reapplication, it may last 4-6 weeks. The 2-pack provides extended supply for regular users or household sharing.
Is there a difference between 'mineral sunscreen' and 'chemical sunscreen' I should know about?
Yes—significant differences. Mineral (physical) sunscreens like this one use zinc oxide to deflect UV rays and sit on top of skin. Chemical sunscreens absorb into skin and convert UV rays into heat. Mineral sunscreens are generally safer for sensitive skin, reef-safe, and suitable for daily use without bioaccumulation concerns. This product uses the mineral approach for maximum safety.
Will this mineral sunscreen leave a white cast on my skin like other zinc oxide products?
This formula is designed to minimize white cast with a neutral tint that blends across skin tones. However, all zinc oxide products can leave slight cast depending on your undertone and application technique. Blend thoroughly and use a pea-sized amount. Results vary—if white cast is a concern, test first or look for reviews from similar skin tones to yours.
Is this product safe to use if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide are generally considered safe during pregnancy and nursing since they don't absorb into the body systemically. However, always consult your OB-GYN or healthcare provider about any skincare products during pregnancy/nursing, as individual health circumstances vary. The fragrance-free, chemical-free formula supports a safer choice during these periods.
