FAQs
Is SPF 15 enough protection?
SPF 15 provides a basic level of protection, blocking approximately 93% of UVB rays. For extended sun exposure, sensitive skin, or higher protection needs, a sunscreen with a higher SPF is recommended.
Can I use this on my face?
While designed for body tanning, some users may choose to use it on their face. However, it's generally recommended to use products specifically formulated for facial skin, as facial skin can be more sensitive. Perform a patch test first.
How does this product help with tanning?
The formula contains ingredients that help attract and deepen tanning when skin is exposed to the sun. The nourishing oils also help keep skin hydrated, which can contribute to a smoother, more even tan.
What does 'Hawaii Act 104 Reef Compliant' mean?
It means the product does not contain Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, which are ingredients that have been banned in Hawaii due to concerns about their impact on coral reefs.
Is this product waterproof?
The product is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. You should reapply after swimming, towel drying, or sweating.
What oils are included in the formula?
It is enriched with Marula Oil, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Green Tea Butter, and Aloe Vera.
Is this product tested on animals?
No, Sun Bum products are certified Cruelty-Free by PETA® and Leaping Bunny®, meaning they are not tested on animals.
Troubleshooting
Product feels gritty or uneven
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed. Natural oils can sometimes separate.
Skin feels excessively oily after application
Apply a thinner layer of the product. Allow adequate time for absorption before dressing. Consider a patch test on a small area first if oiliness is a concern.
Tanning appears uneven
Ensure the oil is applied evenly across all exposed skin areas. Reapply consistently and consider the angle of the sun. Rotating your position during sun exposure can help achieve a more uniform tan.
Product is difficult to dispense
Ensure the nozzle is clear. If the product has been stored for a long time or in cooler temperatures, some ingredients may thicken slightly. Gently warm the bottle in your hands if needed.
