  • Lightweight, non-greasy formulas
  • Even, ultra-fine spray mist

Bask Suncare earns strong reviews for effective UV protection that doesn’t feel greasy, with a sheer, lightweight finish, a fine non‑aerosol mist, and a nostalgic coconut‑vanilla scent; many report no burning during intense sun exposure. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the fragrance can be strong or lingering, occasional stickiness or runny texture, sporadic skin irritation, uneven spray/pressure and fast‑emptying cans, plus a lotion that may feel heavy on oily skin or show slight white cast on deeper tones.

  • It feels like the sunscreen runs out fairly fast. That being said, the actual spray was a nice consistency and coverage was good, did not burn. The packaging is a bit cheap which does not match the price.

  • The bane of my existence is an oily lotion or sunscreen (okay okay, maybe a little dramatic), but I really cannot stand that greasy feeling on my skin. I've been looking for a sunscreen that's both cooling and doesn't leave an oily residue, and Bask is definitely in my new top 3.

  • I was so happy when bask announced a mineral sunscreen in their non aerosol bottle. I’ve tried it and absolutely love it! It leaves no white cast, which is very hard to achieve with mineral sunscreens, and it does not leave a greasy finish on your skin. The ingredients are clean. It’s a win for me! Highly recommend.

  • I have purchase both the spray and lotion version of their original sunscreen. It’s less oily than a lot of the options on the market, but it’s far from the best option out there. I like my Banana Boat dry touch sunscreen infinitely more than this.

  • I recently stocked up on Bask Suncare for an upcoming trip, and I’m so glad I did. The formulas are lightweight, non-oily, and super easy to apply, which is exactly what I want when I’m reapplying throughout the day. I love that it feels good on my skin and doesn’t leave a greasy residue or that heavy sunscreen smell. Plus, knowing it’s made with clean ingredients and is reef-safe makes me feel even better about using it. It’s become my go-to for sun protection.

  • Is this my new favorite body sunscreen?! I will totally buy this again! PROS: Feels amazing.It absorbs well and doesn’t feel sticky, heavy, or tacky at all. I would have thought this was a chemical formula vs a mineral formula if I didn’t know better! Ingredient choices & the business ethics: Love that they are Reef Safe and Leaping Bunny Certified! Yay! CONS: I have no idea how much is left in the bottle. After a week of use, I have NO clue how much is left in the bottle! This is probably more of an issue with spray cans vs lotion bottles, but still... The spray nozzle isn’t great. This is probably the biggest negative for me (but not a deal breaker) - because there isn’t a propellant chemical, it requires you to press the top very hard to get it to spray. I found that I could get it to spray well using my right (stronger) hand but struggled with my left (weaker) hand. Sometimes it came out as a mist, sometimes more in a stream.

  • One of my favorite sunscreen brands. No weird SPF smell, no white cast and it definitely protects my skin from the sun. It’s gentle enough too to use on my face and I haven’t had any issue with it burning my eyes or running.

  • I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens that make me regret trying to be responsible — heavy, greasy, smelling like a chemical beach… no thanks. But BASK? Totally different story. It’s lightweight, blends in without that chalky white cast, and actually feels nice on the skin. Even my husband uses it — and he hates putting on sunscreen. That’s how you know it’s good. It doesn’t feel sticky, doesn’t smell like SPF, and disappears into your skin like a moisturizer. Verdict: If you hate the feeling (and smell) of sunscreen but still want protection, BASK is your new best friend. Easy, breezy, and zero “ugh” factor.

  • This sunscreen really irritated my skin and made it bright red when I first put it on (before even stepping out into the sun). After that initial reaction, once I stepped out into the sun, it worked fine. However I stopped using it after 2-3 times just based on how enflamed my skin looked.

  • I got the Bask Suncare SPF 30 in a FabFitFun box, so I honestly didn’t have any expectations — but it quickly became my absolute favorite sunscreen. It’s incredibly lightweight and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all, more like a soft, hydrating lotion than a typical SPF. It’s gentle enough for my face, absorbs beautifully, and provides great sun protection without any greasiness, heaviness, or white cast. Such an unexpected gem — I’m definitely repurchasing!

  • I got the sheer moisturizing sunscreen and have tried it for a couple days. I think the price is very reasonable compared to other similar sunscreens. The consistency is light and not oily. I don't notice it when it's on my face. It also easily rubs in to be completely sheer. It has a slight chemically scent that they seemed to try covering with coconut. I think it could bother some people, but I'm ok with it. The chemically scent disappears fast and leaves behind a very light sweet coconutty scent. It reminds me of going to the water park as a kid. They offered a free hat with qualifying purchase which is cute, but I don't wear hats. I definitely want to try their other sunscreens! --- Edit: After using the sunscreen for about a week I realized the scent is actually less subtle than I initially thought. It lingers for several hours and I smell whiffs of it as I go about my day. I like wearing perfume occasionally and I noticed I have to plan accordingly if I don't want the scents to clash.

  • I've used this before and the sunscreen is really lightweight, it's not oily, and it stayed on for a really long time which I really appreciated. I will be using this sun screen from now on. It's great.

  • I live on the beach so I go through quite a bit of sunscreen, and I really prefer a spray container. I've bought Bask, Sun Bum and Vacation this summer and Bask has been my favorite. It's not greasy or filmy at all, it's a subtle scent, super cute bottle, and sprays on really nicely. 10/10, will be buying again!

  • Sunscreen is something I will never pass up testing, as while I do not really care for makeup, I am all about skincare. I've heard many times that the most important thing you can do for your skin is to wear sunscreen every day. What intrigued me about Bask is their dedication to stopping skin cancer and how their lotion smells good and leaves no white cast. Trying the SPF 50 lotion out, I was pretty pleased with the results. It disappeared into my skin quickly and definitely worked to protect me from the sun. I will say that while it smells fine, it is not my favorite-smelling sunscreen. I also felt that the sunscreen gushes out of the bottle a bit too fast for my liking, as it could lead to me using too much at once. This sunscreen is a bit more expensive compared to similar brands, so I definitely did not want to waste any! If you are looking for a new brand of sunscreen to try out, I say give Bask a go. They have a great mission and make a high-quality product.

  • I have the classic spf 50 sunscreen and I really like it, but it’s not insanely better than other sunscreens I’ve tried or anything. Blends in nicely and smells good. The branding is super cute. It’s pretty basic so I probably wouldn’t repurchase it but would be open to trying their other products

  • This is our go-to sunscreen for playing sand volleyball every weekend…in Atlanta…in July…at noon. That’s how good it is! Goes on smooth, great spray nozzle, very light, sweat proof, and non-greasy. I’m excited about using it and love the look of it too.

  • I got the spray and the lotion via Thingdrop and both have been great so far! The lotion rubs in so easily and doesn’t leave any white cast or residue, and the spray also goes on very cleanly. It also has a very subtle sunscreen scent which I appreciate. Overall, I’m definitely a Bask fan now!

  • Bask is one of those new brands that just got it right!!!! Their spray sunscreen became my holy grail last summer! I live in the desert area of SoCal and the sun is soooo intense even my hands would get burnt! I used this all summer and love how quickly it settles into my skin!

  • This sunscreen is no sticky, applies thinly, and honestly worked better than anything else I have used this summer. It also smells really good. Their packaging is a cute bonus.

  • Love the light feel but protective coverage of this sunscreen. Spray is a really nice mist and smells amazing. But the biggest game changer for me has been the invisible face gel. It has made my previously daily struggle with putting sunscreen on my kids a total breeze - I used to have to chase my kids around the house to put sunscreen on their faces and now they love it and literally GIGGLE when I put it on them! Can't recommend it enough!
