Ratings: 29,300+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

What Shoppers are Saying: “No matter what sunscreen I use, or how frequently I put it on, I would always end up with lobster red skin after a day in the sun. That is, until I found this sunscreen. It has seriously changed my life (no exaggeration). I no longer have layers of my skin peeling off when I try to enjoy living in Florida. I no longer have to live in fear of developing extreme skin cancer. Not only that, but it keeps me from getting tan! I personally adore how my complexion looks on me, and I like keeping my Irish skin as pale as the moon. I don’t get burned or tan even if I’m at the beach all day!”

“This is the best and most effective sunscreen I have ever used! I take medication that makes me very sensitive to the sun (photosensitivity) and the last couple years I have just suffered after 30 minutes in the sun. I have tried everything then decided to try this after seeing all the great reviews. I put it on 30 minutes prior to going outside and I have literally spent hours in my pool almost every day with no problems! And I never have to reapply even after sweating and swimming. I highly recommend this product!”

What Shoppers are Saying: “Best overall sport sunscreen. I find the BB Sport 50 spray the best of the best sport sunscreen. It goes on dryer than Coppertone or Neutrogena sprays with the same coverage and protection. I find it slips less when holding a racket or paddle and I apply it first spraying on my hands and then applying/rubbing it on to my face. I then spray directly onto the rest of my exposed skin and then rub it in before I go out and play. Excellent deal less than $7 a bottle.”

“I’m very light skinned and unprotected, burn, blister, and peel. I’ve been using this product for years and despite spending hours on the river on hot sunny days never gotten a burn.”

What Shoppers are Saying: “I’m vegan and I’m a black woman, not only is this sunscreen vegan/cruelty free its great for melanated skin as well! It doesn’t leave a white chalky film it blends evenly into the skin like lotion.”

“My skin is super sensitive. Super. Sensitive. I am a redhead, with rosacea prone skin, and get contact dermatitis with almost every brand of chemical sunscreen on the market (I usually use barrier sunscreens.) I don’t tan well and burn quickly, but hate the pasty white sheen of zinc or titanium on my skin (I’m pale enough, thank you very much.) I read good things about Sun Bum and saw that it is supposed to be hypoallergenic, so gave it a try. LOVE IT! This sunscreen brand works very, very well on my skin with no ill side effects! I swim daily and have used Sun Bum products exclusively on my face and body for two months with no burns and no break outs! The smell isn’t great, but the product is.”
