Owners love its gentle formula for sensitive skin, easy application, and lack of white cast, but some find it becomes sticky or tacky in saltwater despite being reef-safe.

Water performance divides buyers—some report excellent durability in pools and heat, while others note tackiness in ocean saltwater, echoing concerns about consistency in aquatic environments.

In their words

Works! Reef safe! Feels great! No smell! Bought this and the Baby Bum face stick. Used them on the whole family for the first time on a week long vacation in Hawaii. No burns!!! No white cast once rubbed in, and feels way better than ALL other mineral sunscreen I have used in the past. This stuff is superior and I will only be using this from now on.

Kimberly M. · verified purchase · sunbum.com

Bought because it's reef safe, and I like the Bum sunscreens, but this one is a different texture than the other ones. This one came out a bit chunky, and when in the ocean, it became sticky. It doesn't seem to react that way in a pool, but for some reason, my skin felt tacky in salt water. Only reason I'll use this is to go in the ocean. Otherwise, I'll stick with their other options.
