I went to a 5 day, outdoor music festival with minimal shade for the entire time. I used Sun Bums mineral sunscreen in roll on, spray, face stick and lotion form and did not get a sunburn!! I am super super fair skinned so this was IMPRESSIVE. I also have very sensitive skin and have never had a reaction! Below is the photo of how much sunscreen I went through ;) Shannon K. · trustthebum.com

I have been applying this lotion for more than 2 weeks now. Being a mom, i am always out with my toddler, and I am always in hunt for a good sunscreen for my sensitive skin. I can confidently say it works incredibly well. Even during long playground dates in direct sunlight, I haven’t had any redness, sunburn, or peeling. I follow the 2 mg/cm² rule and reapply every two hours.The lotion dispenses Kimyvrinfluencer · walmart.ca
