Sun Bum Baby Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion - Fragrance Free

Sun Bum's Baby Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion delivers broad-spectrum protection specifically formulated for babies' delicate and sensitive skin. Trusted by parents who refuse to compromise on safety or effectiveness, this gentle mineral-based sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide to create a physical barrier that reflects harmful UVA and UVB rays away from your little one's skin. Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and paediatrician tested, Baby Bum gives you peace of mind while your grom explores the beach, splashes in the water, or enjoys outdoor adventures.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide Protection

Baby Bum's mineral-active formula is powered by 20% non-nano zinc oxide, a physical sunscreen ingredient that sits on top of the skin's surface to reflect UV rays rather than absorbing them. Unlike chemical sunscreens that can penetrate the skin, zinc oxide creates a protective shield that's gentler on sensitive baby skin. The non-nano particle size means the zinc won't be absorbed into your baby's delicate skin, providing safer, more effective sun protection.

This lightweight, non-greasy formula blends in smoothly without the thick white cast often associated with mineral sunscreens, making it easy to see where you've applied coverage while still providing the robust protection babies need.

Formulated for Sensitive Skin

When it comes to baby products, what you leave out matters just as much as what you put in. Baby Bum Mineral Sunscreen is:

• Hypoallergenic: Formulated to minimise allergic reactions
• Paediatrician Tested: Evaluated for safety and gentleness on babies' skin
• Made Without Parabens: Free from controversial preservatives

Nourishing Natural Ingredients

Beyond sun protection, Baby Bum is enriched with skin-loving ingredients that nourish and protect:

• Coconut Oil: A treasured island staple that provides essential nutrients to moisturize delicate baby skin
• Shea Butter: Restorative, rich butter that nourishes and hydrates
• Cocoa Butter: Protective emollient that helps maintain skin's moisture barrier
• Hyaluronic Acid: Naturally hydrating compound that helps skin retain moisture
• Bisabolol: Soothing ingredient derived from chamomile with calming properties
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental stressors

Water-Resistant & Quick-Absorbing

Baby Bum Mineral Sunscreen is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it perfect for beach days, pool time, and water play. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, so sand won't stick to your little one. The non-oily feel means babies stay comfortable even during active play in warm weather.

Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation

Baby Bum has earned the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation for Safe Sun Protection (Active), demonstrating that this product meets the Foundation's stringent criteria for effectiveness and safety. This independent verification gives parents confidence they're providing the best protection for their baby's developing skin.

Easy Application & Reapplication

The lotion format dispenses easily into your hands for direct application to baby's skin. The smooth, blendable texture makes it simple to achieve even coverage on squirmy little ones, and the formula won't run into eyes or cause stinging. The 89ml (3oz) size is perfectly portable for beach bags, diaper bags, and stroller pockets, and it's TSA-approved for travel.

Why Sun Protection Matters for Babies

Babies' skin is significantly thinner and more sensitive than adult skin, making it more susceptible to UV damage. Research shows that childhood sun exposure, especially sunburns, significantly increases the risk of skin cancer later in life. Protecting babies from harmful UV rays from an early age is one of the most important steps parents can take to safeguard their children's long-term skin health.

The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends keeping babies under 6 months out of direct sunlight and using protective clothing, hats, and shade. For babies over 6 months, broad-spectrum sunscreen like Baby Bum provides essential protection during outdoor activities.

How to Use

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Dispense into your hands and apply directly to all exposed skin, rubbing in until absorbed. For optimal protection:

• Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating
• Reapply immediately after towel drying
• Reapply at least every 2 hours

Sun Safety Tips for Babies & Toddlers

• Keep newborns out of direct sunlight; always provide shade
• Dress babies in UPF-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
• Limit sun exposure during peak UV hours (10am-2pm)
• Apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, including ears, neck, and tops of feet
• Set a timer to remind yourself to reapply
• Consult your paediatrician before using sunscreen on babies under 6 months
