Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Body Spray

Been using this product for years. I have one child that is allergic to sunscreen. I like the spray bottle for application. Does leave a mildly white hue on skin. But it is not as bad as mineral sunscreens. Protection from Sun is as expected. It is a little pricey.

Covers well and stays put in the water! Be aware that because it is a mineral based sunscreen it is white and will take some effort to rub it in YET it does a fantastic job-no sunburn on this girl!!

This doesn't spray nicely like the other non-mineral Sun Bum sunscreen sprays. It creates large, white blotches on the skin that are hard to spread. I suggest spraying some in your hand first, dabbing it in small amounts on the face and body, and then spreading it around. Great sun protection!

Works so well and feels great on. A little goes a long way as it is very white, but that’s expected with a natural sunscreen. Also love how it’s water resistant as I sit in the water all day and reapply as needed!

I bought this because I was going on a cruise, would be snorkeling and needed reef-friendly sun cream. I bought the 30 SPF and another person on the cruise had the exact same brand, but it was 50 SPF. He had no issues with his and it sprayed out normally. Every single bottle I opened did not spray correctly and it dribbled out onto my body. Because I was on a cruise, I had no choice but to open every bottle to check that they were all working and make do with what I had because I had no way of buying anything else. It also came out super thick white and had to be rubbed in versus my friends that came out like a normal spray. This defeats the point of buying a spray if you still have to rub it in!!! I could have just bought a cheaper sun cream, but I hate sun cream on my hands, so that’s why I only buy spray bottles. To add insult to injury, I also can’t return them because they’re in eligible for a return! So I spent nearly $90 on four bottles that were ineffective and crap! If I could give zero stars I would!

In an attempt to be more health conscious, I searched for a highly rated mineral sunscreen and Sun Bum was at the top of the list. It’s a bit pricey, as all sunscreens seem to be. Directions say to spray on and smooth with your hands. I don’t like that it sprays on white and doesn’t appear to fully absorb. It stays on the skin and leaves a pasty look…but, I do like the light fragrance and the fact that it is one of only a few mineral based sunscreens on the market.

This is a mineral sunscreen so obviously it needs to be reapplied frequently and you need to limit contact with clothing, especially dark colors, but it was the best mineral sunscreen I've ever used. I have fair skin and I burn easily but I had no issues with the protection this sunscreen provided. I found applying it in circles along my body with quick sprays and then rubbing to the rest of my skin worked best for conserving how much I used and reducing the white cast that all mineral sunscreens should have. On a side note, it is disturbing how many people complain about having to wash their clothes when using a mineral sunscreen. Yes, it may be less convenient to use mineral sunscreens than hormone disrupting based sunscreens but that's the price you pay for being a conscientious human being who tries to limit their impacts to the ecosystems we visit.

Love this. Works as described
