Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Coconut; Premium Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30; Premium Moisturizing Sunscreen Spray SPF 50. Across 9 tracked products, the mean is 95.6/100 and 25.0% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.

BHT is the flagged ingredient Sun Bum uses most
Across the 8 Sun Bum products scored here, BHT appears in 1. Only 742 other brands here use it (2.1%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. A flag records that a named source raised a concern about an ingredient. It is not a finding that a product is unsafe to eat.
| Flagged ingredient | Sun Bum products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| BHT | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Saccharin | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 8 concern-sorted Sun Bum records shown below. Horizontal position is the number of resolved ingredients on that product's stored label; vertical position is its source-derived screening score. The dashed medians (14 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
