Sun Bum Frequently Asked Questions
What is Broad Spectrum?Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against the harmful effects of both UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays). To be classified as offering broad-spectrum protection, a product needs to absorb or reflect at least 90% of the UV rays.All Sun Bum Sunscreens offer broad-spectrum coverage.
UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays and are primarily responsible for premature skin aging and wrinkling. UVA rays have also been shown to cause skin damage at the cellular level. UVB rays damage the outer layers of the skin. They are the main cause of sun burn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer.
Is it okay to get a little base tan when I'm pasty?Dear pasty dude or dudette, any sun exposure damages and ages the skin, so even a hint of color means you’re creating wrinkles, sagging, and cell injury that could lead to skin cancer.
What does SPF mean? What SPF do I need?SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Below is the approximate percentage of UVB rays blocked depending on SPF rating. The difference is suprisingly small. A higher SPF helps if you are fair skinned or have a history of skin cancer. Remember, no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays.
The main thing that affects protection level is applying it correctly. Dermatologists recommend using 3 tablespoons of sunscreen to protect your whole body. SPF ratings are significantly decreased if you don’t apply enough. Most people only apply 1/3 of the sunscreen they need.Make sure you use enough and don’t neglect hard to reach and easily forgotten places like your ears, feet and upper back.
Do you really need sunscreen if you have dark skin?It’s true that more skin pigment = more melanin = more natural protection, but people with dark skin are still at risk for skin cancer. And it’s often deadlier because it’s hidden in places like hands and feet and not diagnosed until it’s in a serious stage. Bob Marley died at the age of 36 from skin cancer that went undiagnosed for years on his foot.
Is Sun Bum Waterproof or Water Resistant?All of Sun Bum sunscreens have the highest possible Water Resistance rating of 80 minutes. Waterproof is no longer a claim that can be made according to the ruling made by the FDA in 2011.There are only two allowed Water Resistant ratings, 80 minute or 40 minute.Advances in research have allowed companies to formulate sunscreens that adhere well to your skin. However, regardless of the claims, you will have to reapply if you’re sweating heavily or doing activity in the water.
Are Sun Bum Sunscreens Safe?Yes, in all cases, Sun Bum follows the recommendations and guidelines set by he Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and the FDA. The Skin Cancer Foundation is internationally recognized as the educational leader to the public and medical communities related to skin cancer prevention. Sun Bum sunscreens are stringently tested, approved, and recommended by the SCF.When Sun Bum started developing their original formula in 2010 it seemed obvious that they would make an “all natural” product, first, because they care about protecting the environment. Second, Sun Bum knew they would be slathering their products on their very own family and friends. Sun Bum are NOT in this for the money, they are in it to protect themselves and the ones they love. One in five of us will get skin cancer in our lifetime, (1 in 3 Caucasians). That said, as Sun Bum did the yearlong research on the subject they found that a lot of the “natural” sunscreens sounded great but didn’t actually cover the sun’s critical wavelength (broad spectrum). The other research that sealed the deal for them was that although everyone wants a “natural” sunscreen, most of the reviews they read were customers complaining about the way the “natural” products felt on their skin (too thick, sticky, made them look ghostly, sm
