Common questions

Is Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion healthy?

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Sun Bum Original/Premium Moisturizing Lotion. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion?

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion lists 28 ingredients, starting with Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion?

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion compare to other sunscreen?

At 15/100 Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.
