Ingredients
Shea Butter
Shea butter is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, which help in boosting skin’s moisture and elasticity.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E helps protect skin from free radical damage and ultraviolet radiation that can cause premature aging. It can also help keep skin cells healthy and promote healing and reducing inflammation.
Octocrylene
Octocrylene is a chemical sunscreen that helps protect skin against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. It works by absorbing, reflecting and scattering the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Octocrylene helps protect the skin from premature aging, sunburns and other forms of sun damage.
Octisalate
Octisalate is a chemical sunscreen ingredient that helps protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. It absorbs UVB rays specifically, which are the main cause of sunburn. Octisalate is often used in combination with other sunscreen ingredients to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It is a well-tolerated and non-irritating ingredient, making it suitable for sensitive skin types and can be found in many sunscreens, moisturizers, and other skin care products. It also helps to prevent skin aging and other sun-related skin issues.
Zinc Oxide
Zinc Oxide is a mineral-based ingredient that is commonly used in skin care products, particularly sunscreens. It acts as a physical sunscreen by reflecting and scattering UV rays away from the skin. It is also used as an anti-inflammatory agent and can help soothe irritated skin. It is a safe, non-irritating, and non-allergenic ingredient which makes it suitable for sensitive skin types and can be used in many products such as sunscreens, moisturizers, and baby products. It is also an effective treatment for acne as it helps to reduce inflammation and regulate oil production.

Verdict
Sun Bum Signature is one of our favorite products for long days at the beach. This stuff is trusted by athletes and outdoorsmen to fully protect against sun damage without constant reapplication. The only downside is that it takes some scrubbing to get it off at the end of the day. Sun Bum Signature is well worth the hype.
