Sun Bum Unisex Clear Zinc Reviews Summary

Sun Protection

Pros:

• "Provides excellent sun protection. I purchased this to protect a new sleeve of tattoos."
• "This sunscreen is great! It’s great for my sensitive skin and doesn’t leave a white film on me."
• "The sun protection is great, I have olive skin but have been burning lately and this has done the trick."
• "Spent hours in direct sunlight and my face felt protected. Will buy again!"
• "I applied liberally and reapplied as directed, then spent hours in the Caribbean sun with no burn."
• "This is the best facial sunblock I have used - love it to death!"
• "Very fair skin, burn easily. Wore this in the Bahamas with much less reapplication than normal and no redness whatsoever."

Cons:

• "for someone with darker skin, skip this spf. the white cast is ODE."
• "Most sunblocks makes her eyes red (sunburnt look) and sensitive/ raw which lasts for 2-3 days after use."
• "Unfortunately in addition to the (safe) zinc oxide, it contains 3 chemical sunblock agents at levels that are wildly above the current EU limits and proposed FDA limits."
• "Especially can't use sunscreen with oxybenzone in it while pregnant. Spent good money on the sun bum brand I had grown to love, but was very disappointed to see oxybenzone listed as an ingredient."
• "Several Sun Bum sunscreen and after-sun care products were found to contain benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer and other health problems."
• "Although this cream did block the sun, it feels oily when you put it on."
• "Does a decent job but I was still getting a tan line on my neck when wearing a wetsuit."

Texture and Application

Pros:

• "Doesn’t clog pores or leave your face all oily looking."
• "This lotion is great! It smells great and although it appears white when you first apply it, it does become clear once you rub it in, unlike most zinc oxide lotions."
• "The Zinc is a thicker looking cream and it goes on very smooth."
• "Goes on thin, very lightly greasy, but goes away shortly, like lotion sinking in."
• "This stuff works so well it completely blocks the Sun! And it is so light and blends in seconds."
• "It goes on super easy and doesn't leave a crazy white residue like some other products."
• "This sunscreen spreads easily. It’s not super thick like some other sunscreens I have used."

Cons:

• "One star off for greasiness, but definitely effective."
• "It's a little greasy when it first goes on, but calms down after a few minutes."
• "Very greasy even when I try to work it into my skin. My hair keeps sticking to the side of my face and makes my hair greasy."
• "It feels really thick to spread and the application is hard to blend."
• "Intended to use this on my face, but it's way too greasy. Goes on white, not clear, and it takes a long time to rub in."
• "Also they claim no white film left over on skin and yes it’s very oily and leaves white film all over skin and it’s really thick."
• "However, it's not clear or at least mine wasn't. It's white and takes some effort to clear up the area once applied."

Scent

Pros:

• "Yet in Sun Bum the sunscreen smell is quickly overtaken by that happy coconut, summer smell of my childhood at the beach."
• "This is an amazing sunblock. Very hydrating for the face and smells amazing."
• "First of all this smells amazing. It smells like bananas."
• "It smells great, spreads well, and the white tint blends away."
• "Smell is the iconic banana oil and tropical scent infused in all their products."
• "The smell is AMAZING."
• "It has a pleasant scent too."
