A: The ingredient list contains Ethylhexyl Stearate which IS comedogenic. Not sure why the brand expert said it’s non comedogenic. That seems false.

Q: Does it have shiny finish?
submitted by Rhonda531 - 2 months ago
A: Hey Rhonda! Our SPF 50 Face Lotion is moisturizing, but it isn't designed to leave a shiny finish. It absorbs nicely into the skin and leaves you with a hydrated look rather than an overly dewy one. xo, SB

Q: Does this have the horrid white residue?
submitted by xoxoooxo - 6 years ago
A: Hi there!
Thanks so much for your feedback on this.
When it comes to our Mineral Line of sunscreen, the active ingredient is zinc which can sometimes cause the whitish hue you are experiencing, especially due to the fact that zinc is white in nature.
Either way, we totally understand that everyone has different tastes, so if you’'d like some more information about our Mineral Line or any of our other products, we'd love to hear from you! Shoot us an email through our website's contact page, and we'll be sure to get back to ya ASAP :)
With love,

Q: Will this product burn eyes if sweating during exercise like jogging?
submitted by chucks - 6 years ago
A: Hi there!
We highly recommend letting the sunscreen fully absorb and set before exercising and swimming to ensure that the product doesn't run. However, if you're looking for a sweat resistant product, we recommend checking out our Signature Line or a Face Stick to ensure no dripping.
Hope this helps!

Q: What’s the difference between the face version and original? Can I use the original on the face and vice versa?
submitted by Lam - 7 years ago
A: Designed for daily use, our best-selling face sunscreen is a weightless lotion that quickly absorbs into your skin for easy, invisible protection with a matte finish. Made for the face but works everywhere you want a super sheer look and feel without compromising our strong and trusted coverage. The main difference would be texture and fragrance. Our Face Sunscreen will have a weightless, matte feel while our Original SPF Lotions will feel like a regular body lotion. Our Original Sunscreen also has our signature fragrance, while our Face Sunscreen is fragrance free. It will come down to preference and skin type:)

Q: Can be use under the makeup?
submitted by Dania - 7 years ago
A: I use this under my makeup and love it! I would definitely recommend putting this on 15 or so minutes before you start your makeup because it does take a bit to dry.
This sunscreen is praised for its lightweight feel and effective sun protection, making it a favorite among guests. Many appreciate its non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and works well under makeup. However, some guests have experienced irritation when it gets into their eyes, which can be uncomfortable. Overall, it offers a good balance of protection and usability, especially for those with sensitive skin.

DO NOT BUY
DO NOT BUY! This FACE sunscreen will get into your eyes and you will regret it. Burning, watering, can’t even open your eyes. Just water will make it worse. It takes 3 face washes and multiple rounds of allergy eye drops to improve.

Major White Cast
Consistency is thin, almost water like, but leaves serious white cast. If you try to work it in then it just pills.

Best sunscreen!
Sum Bum is our family go to for sunscreen. Love the smell! So nice that they offer kids and regular options as well as face and body options. Works great and doesn’t make your eyes sting when going in the water or sweating! Great UV protection level 50 and water resistant, perfect for a day at the water park!

Extremely expensive for a 3oz bottle
Extremely expensive! I wasn't paying attention at checkout and didn't realize that I paid $16 for 3oz of sunscreen until I got home and had already used it. the standard 6oz size is about the same price so I don't understand the pricing here. Lesson learned.

Warning - New Formula BURNS EYES
As a long time Sun Bum user, I used this sunscreen for ages. I switched to another product briefly and when I bought another tube of this I had a rude awakening. It set my eyes on FIRE. Painful burning, very red. I thought I was going to have to go to the eye doctor. I hate that I can no longer trust Sun Bum for my face :(

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
HONEST TO GOD WHY?!!!!!! What is wrong with companies who have STRONG followings and people who have supported them for YEARSSSSS and they change formulas and it’s ALWAYS CRAP! Every single time! I’m SO freaking upset right now!! I can’t even find what I’ve always purchased. It’s completely changed and now I know why my face is wrecked! I always go to previous orders and add on. The formula is NOT the same people. This is what I’ve bought for years and I finally looked right now to add to my order and it’s COMPLETELY different! It’s now completely changed. This and freaking neutrogena always changing or discontinuing products to make more money. SO MAD!

Good stuff
Being older, I need better skin protection and Sun Bum does a good job. Goes on easy and is absorbed quickly. Also, since it's made for the face, I don't get any burning of the eyes or bad taste if I inadvertently get it in my mouth.

My go-to
I haven’t tried a ton of lotions with sunscreen as I only learned the importance in the last few years, and I’ve only tried drugstore brands - but of the ones I’ve tried, this sits best under my makeup. It’s thin and liquidy and absorbs well. Not thick or greasy at all. It has never pilled and my makeup doesn’t move. It hasn’t caused any issues for me either. Good value for a daily staple.

Light, absorbs well & it seems to be noncomedogenic!!
I’ve never used this brand before, but I like this sunscreen. My skin breaks out very easily and it’s been oilier recently. I tried several “noncomedogenic” sunscreens, and I even checked all of the ingredients, and they broke me out badly for the past two months. Sunbum is light and it absorbs well and it doesn’t contain any comedogenic ingredients. And it’s affordable. The bottle is a little small, but it works and that’s all I care about. Thank you, Target, for carrying this product!

Sun Bum Face Sunscreen
Overall a great sunscreen with no scent, but is hard to blend in to skin and greasy on the skin at first.
