Sun Bum Original Sunblock Review
The cool bottle design and sweet fruity smell invite everyone in and Sun Bum is a very popular, readily available sunscreen. Sun Bum Original is free of the notoriously reef-harmful chemicals, oxybenzone and octinoxate, and does pass the Hawaiin regulations, but it still contains some ingredients that could cause some harm to reefs. For a completely reef-safe option consider Sun Bum’s Mineral Sunscreen.
The four active (UV-blocking) ingredients: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene, are proven to disrupt the coral reef ecosystem. They are also proven to absorb into the skin after one use, so this may not be a good daily sunscreen.
Sun Bum Original has a silky feel, a super easy rub in application, water resistance, and non-greasy feeling. The 80-minute water resistance stands true. Reapplication can be performed easily wet or dry.
Overall, this is a popular and traditional sunscreen. While we do not fully recommend this as a reef-safe sunscreen option, Sun Bum is taking steps to reformulate its sunscreens to make them more reef safe. For a completely reef safe Sun Bum sunscreen consider their Mineral Sunscreen.
Things we like:
- The product is hypo-allergenic, gluten-free, paraben-free, and cruelty-free
- It has a pleasurable sweet smell
- The application is marvaleous due to its easy rub-in and non-greasy feel
- The bottle design is aesthetically enjoyable to touch or look at
Things we don't like:
- Contains some harmful ingredients

DIVEIN's take
Why buy from Amazon?
Amazon has a documented Prime delivery program that covers millions of items, and that is the most concrete order-related support behind buying here.
Worth knowing
Some customers report slower replies or needing more follow-up than expected when they asked for help after ordering. If an order needs post-purchase support, that part of the experience is not always smooth.
Some customers also report delivery problems after ordering. That keeps follow-up and delivery as the areas to watch if you place the order here.

Why buy from Cabela's?
Cabela's ships orders from the US, and there is a documented return process for most purchases if something needs to go back.
