Our verdict

A clear-finish, water-resistant SPF 50 gel sized for travel or a bag, best suited to daily face protection rather than heavy sun exposure days.

Overview

A clear gel facial sunscreen formulated with chemical filters (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene) at SPF 50, sized for travel at 1.7 oz. Suits people who want a lightweight, non-white-cast sunscreen for daily face use.

Sun Bum markets this as free of octinoxate and oxybenzone specifically, which is what makes it Hawaii Act 104 compliant, though the formula still relies on other chemical UV filters rather than mineral ones. The gel sets clear and matte instead of leaving the typical sunscreen sheen, and it's a vegan formulation.

  • SPF 50 broad spectrum
  • Clear matte gel finish
  • 1.7 oz travel size
  • Water resistant

Who it's for

Suited to anyone who wants a face-specific SPF 50 they can layer under makeup without a white cast, and who travels enough to want the 1.7 oz size. Not the pick for anyone specifically seeking a mineral-only sunscreen, since this uses chemical filters.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Clear gel sets without a white cast
  • Sized for travel at 1.7 oz
  • Vegan formula with vitamin E
  • Free of octinoxate and oxybenzone
Cons
  • Uses chemical UV filters, not mineral
  • Small travel size means frequent repurchase for daily use

Performance notes

The SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection comes from a four-ingredient chemical filter blend rather than mineral blockers, and the gel format is built to absorb without leaving residue. It carries a water-resistant rating, though the listing doesn't specify the exact resistance duration.
