Overview
Sun Bum Daily SPF 30 Glow is a moisturizing, tinted facial sunscreen lotion with a dewy finish, made without octinoxate and oxybenzone and compliant with the Hawaii 104 Act. It is water resistant and fragrance free, and the tint is meant to give a subtle glow rather than full coverage, making it a hybrid between a daily moisturizer and a sunscreen.
At 1.7 fluid ounces, the travel size bottle is easy to toss in a bag, and the water resistant rating gives it more flexibility for outdoor days than several untinted sunscreens in this roundup. Being vegan and cruelty free also broadens its appeal for shoppers who care about those standards.
With 415 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, this is one of the best reviewed sunscreens in this lineup, and 30 units bought in the past month shows it is a steady seller.

- Water resistant, unlike several untinted sunscreens in this roundup
- Vegan, cruelty free and fragrance free formula
- 4.6 star average across 415 ratings is one of the highest in this category

Performance notes
The tinted, dewy finish is designed to double as a light moisturizer, which is why Sun Bum markets this as a daily wear product rather than a purely functional sunscreen. Being formulated without octinoxate and oxybenzone reflects a reef conscious approach to the chemical filters used, and the water resistant rating adds a layer of durability for outdoor days.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 415 ratings is a strong score, placing it among the better reviewed sunscreens in this roundup even with a smaller review base than a few of its competitors. The 30 units bought in the past month reflects steady, consistent demand.

Frequently asked questions
Does this sunscreen have a visible tint?
Yes, it is tinted with a dewy finish meant to add a subtle glow rather than full coverage, so it works best for people who want a hint of color along with their SPF.
Is this sunscreen reef friendly?
It is made without octinoxate and oxybenzone and is compliant with the Hawaii 104 Act, which is a common marker shoppers look for when choosing a more reef conscious sunscreen.
Can I wear this while swimming?
It is rated water resistant, so it holds up better than several untinted sunscreens in this roundup during swimming or sweating, though reapplying afterward is still recommended for continued protection.
