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.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Clear gel sets without a white cast

- Vegan formula with vitamin E
- Free of octinoxate and oxybenzone

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.
