Frequently Asked Questions
Does this sunscreen stay waterproof during a full day of beach swimming and water sports?
Yes. Sun Bum Original features 80-minute water resistance, meaning it maintains protection during extended swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and other water activities. We recommend reapplying after towel-drying or after the 80-minute window closes for continuous protection.
Will this sunscreen work for high-altitude hiking and intense outdoor activities?
Absolutely. The SPF 70 option provides very high protection for prolonged sun exposure at altitude, where UV rays are stronger. The lotion's non-comedogenic, oil-free formula won't clog pores during sweating, making it ideal for active outdoor pursuits like hiking, trail running, and mountain sports.
What size should I buy for a camping trip or extended outdoor vacation?
For weekend trips, the 3 oz travel size fits TSA carry-on luggage. For week-long vacations or family camping, consider the 8 oz or 16 oz bottles. Multi-packs are perfect for families or group outdoor adventures, ensuring everyone stays protected without running out mid-trip.
Can I use this sunscreen for both beach and patio/backyard activities?
Yes, this is ideal for any outdoor setting—beaches, pools, patios, gardens, or backyards. The versatile lotion formula works in various temperatures and conditions, making it the single sun protection product you need for all your open-air activities year-round.
Does the sunscreen leave a greasy residue that interferes with outdoor activities?
No. Sun Bum Original is formulated as a lightweight, non-greasy lotion. The oil-free composition absorbs quickly into skin without leaving a slick film, so you can enjoy camping, hiking, sports, or any outdoor activity without feeling uncomfortable or slippery.
How much sunscreen should I apply for effective sun protection?
Apply approximately one ounce (shot glass full) to your entire body, or one-quarter teaspoon to your face and neck. Rub in thoroughly until evenly distributed. Most people apply too little sunscreen, reducing effectiveness. For best results, apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming or heavy sweating.
How often should I reapply this sunscreen during water activities?
Sun Bum Original offers 80-minute water resistance, so reapply after 80 minutes of continuous water exposure or immediately after towel-drying. If you're in and out of the water frequently, reapply each time you dry off. For non-water activities, reapply every 2 hours or after heavy sweating.
What's in the box when I order, and do I need to buy anything else?
Your order includes the Sun Bum sunscreen in your chosen size (1 oz, 3 oz, 8 oz, or 16 oz) and SPF level (15, 30, 50, or 70). No assembly or additional purchases are needed. If ordering the 1 oz or 3 oz travel sizes, they're TSA-compliant and ready to pack; larger sizes are ready to use immediately.
Is this sunscreen safe for people with sensitive skin conditions like eczema or rosacea?
Yes. The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula is gentle and unlikely to trigger flare-ups. However, if you have diagnosed eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions, patch-test on a small area first or consult your dermatologist before full-body application to ensure compatibility with your specific condition.
Will this sunscreen work on all skin tones and skin types?
Yes. Sun Bum Original is designed for all skin types—dry, oily, combination, and sensitive—and all skin tones. The lightweight lotion formula absorbs evenly without leaving white cast or residue on any skin tone, making it universally suitable for families and diverse user groups.
What's the difference between SPF 30, SPF 50, and SPF 70 options?
SPF indicates the level of UVB protection: SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocks 98%, and SPF 70 blocks 99.3%. For casual daily outdoor use, SPF 30 is sufficient. For prolonged sun exposure, beach days, or intense outdoor activities, SPF 50 or 70 provides higher protection. Choose based on your sun exposure duration and intensity.
