2.6/5 – Sun Bum SPF50 Face Cream is a thick cream therefore not requiring a lot of product to cover the face, neck, and ears.
Due to the weighty feel of the cream it may take a few minutes to absorb into the skin.

*are on the Dirty Dozen list of skincare chemicals to avoid
The ingredients contained within Sun Bum Face SPF50 are a mixture of things that #GreenBeauty tells us to avoid, it contains two ingredients on the Dirty Dozen list, and several that EWG Skin Deep says to avoid using too often.
If in a pinch and need SPF, this could be a product used once in a while, but the science says it is not recommended for daily use. This is made worse by the way the company touts the product on its own website:
Our SPF 50 face sunscreen contains some of our favorite ingredients including:
Vitamin E—an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin
aging.
Aloe Lotion—to help calm and sooth our skin.
Highlights – Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free, Reef Safe, Plastic Container
From the Sun Bum website:
It’s Simple

So, we continue to look for ways to make our products without stuff that could hurt any of them.
