A note on UVA protection: Sunumbra doesn’t just protect against the sunburn caused by UVB rays; it also protects skin against the damage and ageing caused by deep-penetrating UVA rays. Very few ordinary high-SPF sunscreens provide you with much-needed UVA protection, which is important even in cloudy, overcast weather.
Directions
- Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure, so the sunscreen has time to soak into the skin and provide maximum benefit.
- Apply liberally to all exposed areas, taking extra care to cover frequently forgotten spots: lips, back of neck, ears, nose, tops of feet, hairline & unprotected areas of the head.
- Re-apply at least every 2 hours.
- Note: You should apply sunscreen every day, even if it is cloudy, as the UV rays, especially UVA, penetrate clouds.
- Most sunscreens require that an average-size adult use at least one ounce (about 6 teaspoons) to evenly cover the body from head to toe. Adjust this amount to suit the size and age of your child.

08/12/2019, By ShaQuite thick but not oily like some other natural sunscreens I’ve tried so I can happily use it on my face. Works well so far and rubs in well. So much nicer than the chemical commercial brands I used to use.23/10/2019, By CourtneyA little thick so difficult to use all over, but amazing on face. Gentle on my very sensitive skin and sturdy enough to protect07/10/2017, By KateThis is the only sunscreen I use! It is light yet provides sufficient protection and doesn't leave any white residue or break me out. It has a pleasant scent and one tube lasts me about 6 months or so and I use it everyday (even in Winter). I also love the fact that it uses all natural ingredients and non-nano zinc.10/05/2017, By ZiThis product doesnt go on nicely. The consistency is more like a clay but it does seem to protect against the sun. The manufacturer needs to work on the consistency.05/09/2016, By RobynI was disappointed with this product. it does not absorb well and requires you to put it on with a mirror so you can rub all the spots that the white cream does not get absorbed. Not what I was expecting from a daily sun protecting moisturiser.04/11/2015, By ColleenFantastic product, bit thinner than the SPF30, so doesn take as much shaking and squidging. I really like the smell and although it is thicker than suncreams we might be used to - it does spread easily.15/09/2015, By KateI love Sunumbra products so much, especially this light daily one. I used to get rashes from other brands of suncream, but with Sunumbra my skin actually feels nourished. It provides long-lasting protection with no poisonous chemicals. Definitely worth the price, as you can use a very small amount. All round love!21/03/2015, By ChristineI have purchased my second bottle of SunUmbra and am so happy with this sun cream. I have tried pretty much all the natural sun lotions on the market and this one definitely has the best price-performance ratio. It doesn make my face white or too greasy and I haven had a sunburn all summer, no matter how long I was outside. I recommend it!05/01/2015, By raeesaChoosing a natural sunscreen worried me as many people complain of them leaving a whitish ghostly effect on the face. this sunscreen blends in well on my Indian skin tone, leaving behind no residue. It also feels quite moisturising!
