Q: Is this considered a "biodegradable" sunscreen?
A: Hello! Our products are currently not tested for biodegradability, but that being said, we work hard to ensure that all of our products are kind to the earth. All of our sunscreens are considered to be non-damaging to reef and marine life as they are oxybenzone and octioxate free. We also offer Mineral sunscreen products that are chemical-active free! We know there are currently many regulations set forth by various vacation destinations, and our Mineral sunscreens should meet their requirements. xo, SB

Q: Sun Bum Original Sunscreen Lotion-SPF 30-6fl oz, can this be used on face? if so, what is the difference between this and Sun Bum Sunscreen Face Lotion - SPF 50 - 3 fl oz?
A: Hey there! Yes, it can, but it does contain fragrance, so if you have sensitive skin, we don't recommend that you use it on your face. However, that's the main difference! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out! xo, SB
