Sun Bum reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Reliable broad-spectrum sun protection
- Distinctive tropical fragrance profile
- User-friendly spray and lotion formats
- Attractive, iconic packaging design
- Occasionally greasy spray texture
- Potential eye-stinging aerosol mist
- Strong fragrance irritates sensitivities
- Mineral formulas blend less elegantly
Sun Bum earns praise in reviews for effective, reliable sun protection—from SPF 30 to SPF 70 body and face formulas, scalp sunscreen, and zinc options—with beachy coconut/banana scents and easy application across sprays, lotions, sticks, and roll-ons. However, reviewers flag greasy or oily feel in certain sprays, occasional eye sting and transfer, strong fragrance that irritates some and causes lip balm issues, and sporadic reactions on sensitive skin or with mineral blending challenges.

If you are sensitive to perfumed smells, Sun Bum might not be suitable for you. Whereas I love the Curl Styling Cream due to its light-weight consistency whilst giving defined curls (I have dry hair), the lip balm smelled a bit too strongly for a lip product. Also, it dried out my lips immediately.
Sun Bum products smell AMAZING and their package design is super cute. They've been launching more and more types of products over the years, I'm happy to see them expanding. The brand is very well known at this point, but if you haven't tried it yet, then try it! Products are reef safe & cruelty free. They also offer a variety of application methods from lotions to sprays to roll ons. I dig the variety of options. For reference, I regularly use their sunscreens both body and face, lip balm with SPF, and purple shampoo.
I love me some Sun Bum Original sunscreen. My fair-skinned BF and I recently spent a week on the beach with Sun Bum 30SPF in tow and neither of us burned. The light coconut scent is synonymous with relaxation and the lotion is light and not oily. Highly reccomend.
I love the packaging of all their products. So fun but neutral also. I haven't ever had any bad experience with their sunscreen and the kids love it. The hair products have all been nice and smell amazing.

Our "go to brand" for sunscreen! Extra bonus it is also reef safe!
The one positive about this product is that it taste really good, which is surprising for a lip balm with SPF. Besides that, it's complete inability to absorb into my skin made it uncomfortable to use because it just stayed as an oily layer on my lips.
