Brand Stories
Sun Bum, Trust the Bum
We’re a small company in Cocoa Beach, Florida that started making products for our friends and family. We don’t use focus groups, make decisions in a boardroom, hide ingredients or make bogus claims. We’re just a group of friends who know what works and what doesn’t and we’re happy to share it with you.
UVA & UVB Rays
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 more skin damage at the cellular level. UVB rays damage the outer layers of the skin. They are the main cause of sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer.
Without protection, UVA and UVB rays penetrate and damage your skin.
SPF Ratings
Below is the approximate percentage of UVB rays blocked depending on SPF rating. The difference seems minimal, but a higher SPF helps if you are fair skinned or have a history of skin cancer. Remember, no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays.
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.
Don’t Forget, The Sun Is Good
20 minutes of daily sunlight (without sunscreen) gives you a healthy does of Vitamin D, which is essential for good health.
