Sun Bum SPF 50 Original Sunscreen Body Lotion — 16 oz, Broad-Spectrum, Water-Resistant with Vitamin E

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Body Lotion is a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen lotion that shields skin from UVA/UVB rays while delivering moisturizing Vitamin E in a 16 oz bottle.

Made for everyday sun protection, this bestselling Sun Bum formula combines SPF 50 defense with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer and the brand’s signature summer scent. The lotion is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate, compliant with Hawaii Act 104 standards, and formulated to be gentle on most skin types while helping maintain skin hydration during outdoor activities.

How quickly should I apply Sun Bum Original before going outside?

Apply the lotion at least 15–30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the formula to absorb and form an even protective layer. This helps ensure the sunscreen is settled on skin rather than sitting on the surface where it can rub off.

• Dispense and rub evenly from head to toe, covering often-missed spots like tops of feet and backs of hands.
• Wait a minimum of 15 minutes; 30 minutes is ideal for full absorption.
• Reapply at least every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

Will this sunscreen work for water activities and active days?

Yes — the Sun Bum Original SPF 50 lotion is water-resistant and designed for outdoor use, including beach days, pool time, and sports. It helps maintain SPF protection during moderate swimming and perspiration, though reapplication is necessary after prolonged water exposure.

• Water-resistant formula suitable for swimming and light water sports.
• Reapply after 80 minutes of continuous swimming or heavy sweating.
• Apply more frequently after towel drying or vigorous activity for consistent coverage.

What skin benefits and ingredients are in this Sun Bum lotion?

The lotion combines broad-spectrum UV filters with Vitamin E, a skin-conditioning antioxidant that supports moisture retention. It’s formulated to be non-comedogenic and free of common reef-impacting chemicals, gluten, parabens, and animal testing.

• Contains Vitamin E to help maintain skin hydration and softness.
• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 provides both UVA and UVB protection.
• Made without oxybenzone and octinoxate; cruelty-free and paraben-free.

How much product do I need and how often should I reapply?

For full-body coverage, use a generous amount — roughly a shot-glass (about 1 oz) for an adult — and spread evenly for complete protection. Reapply every two hours or sooner if you’ve been swimming, sweating heavily, or toweling off to maintain the stated SPF level.

• Estimate about 1 ounce per full-body application for an adult.
• Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.
• Use more liberally on high-exposure areas like shoulders and nose.

Who is this for? Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Body Lotion is aimed at people who want trusted, high-SPF daily sun protection that also moisturizes. It’s a practical choice for beachgoers, outdoor athletes, families, and anyone seeking a scent-forward, easy-to-apply sunscreen that meets Hawaii 104 compliance and avoids oxybenzone and octinoxate. If you prefer a large 16 oz pump-style bottle to cover multiple users or longer outings, this lotion provides a reliable balance of broad-spectrum defense and skin conditioning for everyday outdoor life.
