Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This Sun Bum lotion shares the same active ingredient blend as the brand's clear gel version, avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, for SPF 50 broad spectrum protection. It is also formulated with vitamin E and finishes in a more traditional white lotion texture rather than a clear gel.

At 1.7 ounces in a travel size bottle, it is water resistant and Hawaii 104 Act compliant, made without octinoxate and oxybenzone. The formula is unscented and, like the gel, is positioned as a moisturizing option thanks to the added vitamin E.

A 4.6 star average from 479 ratings edges out the brand's gel version slightly, and with 50 units purchased in the last month, it shows similarly strong, steady demand among buyers who prefer a lotion texture.

Performance notes

The same avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene blend used at SPF 50 here provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB coverage, and Hawaii 104 Act compliance confirms the formula skips octinoxate and oxybenzone. Choosing between this lotion and the brand's gel version really comes down to texture preference, since the active ingredients and SPF level are the same.

What buyers say

A 4.6 star average across 479 ratings is a strong showing, and the steady 50 units purchased in the last month suggests this lotion has built a loyal following among Sun Bum's daily sunscreen customers.
