FAQs

What does SPF 30 mean?

SPF 30 means the sunscreen will allow approximately 1/30th of the sun's UVB rays to reach your skin, providing about 30 times your skin's natural protection against sunburn.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

You should reapply at least every two hours, and more frequently after 80 minutes of swimming or strenuous exercise, or after towel-drying vigorously.

Is this sunscreen safe for children?

While formulated for broad use, Sun Bum offers specific kids' formulations. Always test on a small area first and follow application guidelines.

What are the main active ingredients?

The active ingredients are Avobenzone (3%), Octisalate (5%), and Octocrylene (7%).

Does this sunscreen feel sticky?

The formula is designed to be moisturizing. While it may feel hydrating, it should absorb well when rubbed in properly, minimizing a sticky sensation.

Is this product vegan?

Yes, the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Moisturizing Sunscreen is vegan.

What is the size of this product?

This specific product variant is 88ml.

Troubleshooting

Sunscreen feels greasy or heavy

Ensure you are applying the correct amount. For very oily skin, consider a lighter formulation or applying a mattifying primer underneath. Rub the sunscreen in thoroughly.

Sunscreen leaves a white cast

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply a thinner layer and rub it in completely. For darker skin tones, ensuring it's fully absorbed is key.

Product is difficult to dispense

Ensure the cap is properly sealed after use. If the nozzle appears blocked, gently clean it with a damp cloth.

Skin feels sensitive or irritated after application

Discontinue use if irritation persists. Check the ingredient list for any known allergens. Consider performing a patch test on a small area of skin before full application.
