Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Clear Body Lotion — 6 oz, Water-Resistant, Vitamin E, Wet-or-Dry Protection

Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Clear Body Lotion is a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen designed for active children that applies clear to wet or dry skin and is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Keep playtime outdoors safe and simple with a sunscreen built for kids who splash, run, and never like to stand still. This Sun Bum formula delivers SPF 50 protection in a lightweight, clear lotion that works on wet or dry skin, resists water for up to 80 minutes, and includes vitamin E for antioxidant support. The product avoids common ingredients of concern—no oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens, gluten, or synthetic fragrances—while meeting Hawaii 104 Act standards and FDA sun-protection requirements.

How does this sunscreen perform when kids are swimming or sweating?

The lotion is water-resistant and formulated to remain effective through active play in the water or during sweaty sports. Sun Bum recommends reapplying after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating and immediately after towel-drying to maintain SPF effectiveness.

• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes per label instructions.
• Clear formula so it won’t leave a white cast on skin.
• Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every two hours.
• Applies to both wet skin and dry skin for easier coverage at the pool or beach.

What makes the formula safer for kids’ skin compared to some other sunscreens?

This Sun Bum Kids lotion avoids several ingredients parents commonly want to skip. It is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate—ingredients restricted in some regions—and also omits parabens, gluten, and synthetic fragrance while being dermatologist tested and vegan.

• Made without oxybenzone or octinoxate—Hawaii 104 Act compliant.
• No parabens, gluten, or synthetic fragrance.
• Dermatologist tested, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and vegan labeling.
• Includes vitamin E for mild antioxidant support on the skin surface.

How do I apply it so it actually protects my child?

Apply a generous, even layer 15 minutes before sun exposure and rub it in thoroughly until it disappears. Follow label directions: reapply after water exposure, towel drying, and at least every two hours for consistent protection during extended outdoor time.

• Apply 15 minutes before going outside for best adherence to skin.
• Use a liberal amount—don’t skimp—to reach labeled SPF 50 protection.
• Reapply every two hours and after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating.
• Works on wet skin so you can reapply at the pool without fully drying first.

Will this sunscreen feel sticky or leave stains on clothes?

The clear, fast-absorbing lotion is formulated to minimize residue and white cast, making it less likely to leave obvious marks on clothing or feel tacky after application. As with any product, allow a few moments for it to fully absorb before dressing to reduce transfer.

• Clear lotion minimizes visible residue on skin.
• Fast-absorbing texture reduces sticky feeling.
• Allow brief dry time before putting on clothes to cut transfer risk.
• Designed for active use—ideal for playgrounds, pools, and family outings.

Who is this for? Parents and caregivers seeking a child-friendly, reef-aware SPF 50 sunscreen will find this product useful: it's made for active kids who play in water or sweat, families avoiding oxybenzone and octinoxate, and anyone who prefers a clear, fast-absorbing lotion that complies with Hawaii 104 Act standards. It’s suitable for most skin types and convenient for on-the-go reapplication during outdoor activities.
