Product Information
Full details
This Sun Bum Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 30 is designed for individuals seeking reliable sun protection derived from mineral ingredients. Its key benefit is providing broad-spectrum defense using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, while being reef-friendly and water-resistant. A potential consideration is that mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a white cast, though this formula aims to be lightweight and non-greasy. It's ideal for everyday use, enriched with vitamin E, and suitable for those who spend time in intense sun.

Troubleshooting
White cast is visible on skin
Apply a smaller amount and blend thoroughly. Try applying to slightly damp skin or allow previous skincare layers to fully absorb. Mineral sunscreens are more prone to leaving a cast; ensure even application.
Product feels sticky or greasy
Ensure you are applying to clean, dry skin. Use a thinner layer and allow it to absorb fully before applying other products or clothing. Shake well before each use.
Sunscreen washes off easily
Reapply more frequently, especially after swimming or sweating, and after towel drying. Ensure you are applying the recommended amount to create an adequate protective layer.
