Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Body Lotion - Travel 3 oz, Zinc Oxide Mineral Protection & Matte Finish

Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Body Lotion is a zinc-based, vegan mineral sunscreen in a travel-friendly 3 oz tube that offers broad-spectrum protection without octinoxate or oxybenzone.

Designed by a beach-born brand, this new 2026 formula uses mineral (zinc oxide) UV filters to sit on the skin and reflect UVA/UVB rays while delivering lightweight hydration and a matte finish. The lotion is formulated to comply with Hawaii Act 104, omitting octinoxate and oxybenzone, and contains Vitamin E to help condition skin. It’s cruelty-free, gluten-free, and sized for travel at 3 ounces so it easily fits in carry-on bags and beach totes.

How does this mineral sunscreen protect my skin when I'm outdoors?

This Sun Bum mineral lotion uses zinc oxide to create a physical barrier that reflects and scatters UV radiation rather than being absorbed like some chemical filters. Applied liberally, it provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection and leaves a light, matte finish suitable for daily sun exposure, water play, or active outdoor plans.

• Zinc oxide-based formula for physical (mineral) UV protection
• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 coverage for UVA/UVB defense
• Matte finish reduces shine, ideal for face and body use
• Reapply after 80 minutes of water activity or every 2 hours

Will this sunscreen work for sensitive or reactive skin?

Because it relies on zinc oxide rather than chemical filters, this mineral lotion is often better tolerated by sensitive skin types. The formula is free from octinoxate and oxybenzone, vegan, and cruelty-free; it also includes Vitamin E to help moisturize without heavy oils.

• Mineral-based, non-absorbing UV filters are gentler for many users
• Vegan and cruelty-free with simplified actives
• Lightweight texture helps avoid pore-clogging and residue
• White tint is normal—blends with rubbing to an even layer

How should I apply and reapply this travel-size lotion?

Apply liberally at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow the mineral ingredients to form an even layer on the skin. Because mineral sunscreens sit on top of skin, a visible white cast at first is expected—rub in well and reapply frequently to maintain protection, especially after swimming or sweating.

• Apply generously 15 minutes before going outside
• Reapply every 2 hours, and after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy perspiration
• Use a nickel- to quarter-sized amount per area (face/neck/body vary by size)
• Travel-size 3 oz tube meets TSA carry-on rules for convenience

What environmental and regulatory features does this formula include?

This 2026 Sun Bum Mineral lotion complies with Hawaii 104 by excluding reef-impacting filters octinoxate and oxybenzone. The formula is positioned for eco-conscious consumers who prefer mineral filters and cleaner ingredient lists, without sacrificing day-to-day usability or SPF performance.

• Hawaii Act 104 compliant — no octinoxate, no oxybenzone
• Zinc oxide chosen for reduced aquatic toxicity concerns
• Gluten-free and cruelty-free labeling for wider consumer acceptance
• Vegan formulation — no animal-derived ingredients

Who is this for? This Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Body Lotion is aimed at beachgoers, travelers, and active outdoor enthusiasts who want a mineral-based, travel-sized sunscreen free from octinoxate and oxybenzone. It’s a solid choice for people with sensitive skin, those seeking vegan or cruelty-free options, and anyone who needs broad-spectrum protection in a compact bottle that fits in a daypack or carry-on.
