Original SPF 45 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Mist - Travel Size, 3.4 oz | Moisturizing Facial Sunscreen Spray with Vitamin E, Hawaii 104 Act Compliant (Made without Octinoxate & Oxybenzone)

I bought this to use on my face after recently adding tretinoin to my skincare routine, and honestly, I’m really impressed. I’ve tried a bunch of sunscreens before, but this one checks so many boxes for me. First off, the mist application is amazing. It’s quick, even, and so easy to use, especially when I’m in a rush or reapplying throughout the day. I don’t have to rub anything in, and it doesn’t mess up my other skincare layers. Plus, it smells like banana pudding. I know that sounds a little strange, but it’s actually so refreshing and nostalgic in the best way. The scent doesn’t linger, so if you’re worried about walking around smelling like dessert all day, don’t. It fades fast. Now, it does leave a bit of a slippery feel if you rub your face a lot, but honestly, that doesn’t bother me. Plus I sweat quite a lot. My skin is very dry and sensitive (psoriasis and all), so my routine is already packed with rich creams and oils. This sunscreen mist melts right in and feels like an extra layer of goodness. I have had zero breakouts, no irritation, and my skin still feels soft and hydrated. One thing I can’t speak on just yet is how it wears over makeup, since I don’t currently wear any foundation or skin tint. I’m still on the hunt for one I actually like and that doesn't react funky with my current skincare regimen and separate. Once I find my holy grail product, I’ll definitely come back and update this review with how this mist sunscreen plays with it. Fingers crossed it’s as good over makeup as it is on bare skin. The bottle is also super convenient. The 3.4 oz size fits perfectly in my smallest purse, and even the little pocket on my car door when I am out and about. And for how often I reapply (which is a lot, since I’m outside in all kinds of weather), it’s lasted me a surprisingly long time.

As someone who surfs regularly, sunscreen has to check a lot of boxes for me—and this Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Mist delivers. I love how easy it is to spray on, especially when I’m in a rush to get out the door or reapplying on the beach between sessions. A quick spray into my hands and I’m good to go—no thick rubbing, no white cast. It feels lightweight on my face, doesn’t run into my eyes, and holds up well in the sun. Just as important, I really appreciate that it’s reef‑safe (Hawaii‑compliant), so I can enjoy the ocean without feeling guilty about what I’m putting into it. The added Vitamin E keeps my skin from drying out, and the scent is classic Sun Bum—clean and beachy. This has become a staple in my surf bag and daily routine. Reliable, easy, and ocean‑friendly—exactly what I want in a sunscreen.

As a parent, there’s nothing worse than struggling to get sunscreen on wriggly little faces—until now. The Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Face Mist is an absolute game-changer. It sprays on effortlessly, dries in a snap, and the kids barely notice—while I know they’re shielded under broad-spectrum protection. Why We’re Obsessed • Instant Drying (Seriously!)

Whether you’re headed to the beach, the pool, or just the backyard, this is the most parent (and kid!) approved SPF we’ve tried. No protests, no fuss—just sun-safe smiles all day long.

I'm officially a loyal fan of this sunscreen. I've tested it in intense sun situations while being in a pool and not reapplying, and not even a hint of sunburn and a much lighter tan than I would normally anticipate. I love that it's a clear mist and not aerosol. No uncomfortable cream to rub in. No white cast. It's great. It doesn't have the typical sunscreen smell either, but it does have a smell that's tropical. I'd rather it have no scent at all, but if that's the worst thing about this product, then I can handle it. They keep going back and forth on if it's for your full body or face...I use it on my body and then use a separate one for my face that's part of my skincare routine.

Overall, it’s pretty good. It smells nice and is easy to apply, but it leaves a greasy residue that I don’t really like.

really like the Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Mist for the face. It provides excellent sun protection while feeling lightweight and comfortable on the skin. The mist application makes it quick and easy to apply, especially when reapplying sunscreen throughout the day. The formula feels moisturizing without being greasy, and it absorbs nicely without leaving a heavy residue. It’s perfect for everyday use, outdoor activities, beach days, and travel. I also appreciate the convenience of the spray format, which makes sunscreen application much easier. Overall, this is a great facial sunscreen that combines protection, hydration, and convenience. A must-have for anyone who spends time outdoors and wants reliable SPF coverage without the hassle of traditional lotions.

This is my go-to running out of the house face sunscreen. I really like this sunscreen because I can use it over or under make-up and when I use it over, it doesn't mess up my face or make me look greasy. I've used this a ton in the summer when I'm going for a quick walk and just need a little quick protection. I've taken it to soccer games and ended up spraying the faces of all the nieces and nephews who arrived without sunscreen (I'm fairer skinned so I tend to think of sunscreen when sometimes their parents don't). Everyone who has used it comments on the banana smell - better than most sunscreen smells. I like that it's small enough to fit in a purse or bag and I take it with me everywhere I go. I do use a solid or cream if I'm going to be out all day, but this has worked really well for a quick spritz when I'm on the go!

So easy to use. Smells great. No messy oil.
