Our Favorite Sunscreen Is a Nourishing, Glow-Boosting Oil You Can Get for Just $20

"My skin was moisturized, I smelled amazing, and my tan was beaming."

There are few worse feelings after a long, relaxing day spent in the sunshine than looking in the mirror and finding yourself covered, head to toe, in a sunburn. To avoid this, we count a reliable sunscreen with adequate SPF as a non-negotiable product in any daily regimen, whether you’re planning to be outside a lot or just running a quick errand.

Enter: Sun Bum’s Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Oil. Crowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s favorite body sunscreen in 2023, the skin-protecting product repeatedly earns a top spot in our beach bags. Its hydrating ingredients, easy application, and non-greasy feel are just some of the qualities that make this sunscreen an unfailing mainstay for daily wear.

Even with a near-weightless consistency, this spray packs a lot of perks into its hydrating formula. Most notably, the sunscreen’s organic coconut oil dials up your skin’s softness and works to enhance your natural tan. With coconut oil’s deeply hydrating and water-retaining properties, it penetrates the skin not only to make it feel good with intense moisture but also look good thanks to its luminous finish. Meanwhile, aloe leaf extract provides soothing nourishment and helps calm redness. Offering broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, the all-over sunscreen also meets the American Academy of Dermatology’s recommended guidelines for sun protection.

The product’s protection benefits don’t end with broad-spectrum coverage; the formula is also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so you can spend your days beside the ocean or pool or working up a sweat without the need for frequent reapplication.

Sun Bum’s packaging is another draw in itself, specially designed with an easy-to-maneuver spray function for utmost convenience. Slippery and sandy hands are no match for this bottle, and shoppers say it’s easy to reach your backside to accomplish a full-body spray. Of her experience using Sun Bum’s SPF oil, SI Swimsuit’s General Manager HIlary Drezner said: “I was at the beach all weekend and, thanks to this Sun Bum product, my skin was moisturized, I smelled amazing, and my tan was beaming! I think it was the first time my kids didn’t complain when I reminded them to reapply their sunscreen.”

Another reason we (and shoppers) love this sunscreen is, of course, Sun Bum’s immediately-recognizable and delightfully

tropical banana-and-coconut scent

, which pairs perfectly with so many sunny settings.

For the healthy glow of your dreams, you can’t go wrong with Sun Bum’s Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Oil. Hydrate your skin and boost your natural tan for just $20 with an SPF that earned a spot on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s Best of Beauty rankings.
