Sun Bum

Sun Bum at Behind The Pines Amsterdam

Sun Bum sunscreen at Behind The Pines Amsterdam is chosen for people who want reliable sun protection without a heavy feel. The range works well for daily use in the city, on the bike, at the beach, and during longer days outside. If you are looking for easy-to-wear SPF with a clean finish, Sun Bum fits naturally into our sunscreen selection and our wider Sun Bum collection.

The brand is known for lightweight textures, practical formats, and formulas that are straightforward to use. That makes it a solid choice for travel, surf trips, commuting, and everyday skin protection. We stock Sun Bum because it is easy to live with: face sticks, lotions, mineral options and after-sun care that do the job without feeling complicated. It sits well alongside our surf and outdoor collections, where sun exposure is part of the routine.

What Sun Bum is made for

Sun Bum is built around practical protection for real life. It is the kind of suncare you can keep in a bag, carry on a day trip, or use before a session outside. The collection covers the basics well, with products that suit different skin types and different levels of exposure. For people who spend time cycling, walking, surfing or hiking, that balance matters more than anything.

The range is especially useful in mixed conditions. Amsterdam weather can change quickly, but UV exposure does not wait for a clear sky. Sun Bum gives you a simple routine that works for short daily use and for longer hours in direct sun.

Key product types

In the Sun Bum range, you will usually find SPF lotions for broader coverage, face sticks for quick reapplication, mineral sunscreen for those who prefer a more sensitive-skin-friendly option, and after-sun products for skin that has had a full day outdoors. The formats are easy to pack and easy to reapply.

For travel or active use, smaller sizes make sense. For beach days or shared use, larger bottles are more practical. If you spend a lot of time outside, it is worth pairing sunscreen with a cap from our caps or bucket hats selection for added cover.

How to choose the right Sun Bum product

Start with your skin type and how long you stay outside. For everyday use, a lightweight lotion or face stick is usually the most convenient. For sensitive skin, mineral formulas are often the better starting point. For beach sessions, hikes or long bike rides, choose a higher SPF and make sure the format is something you will actually reapply.

If you are looking for gear that supports longer days in the sun, it helps to think beyond sunscreen alone. A reusable bottle from our reusable water bottles collection, light layers, and proper shade all make a difference when you are outside for hours.

Built for city use, travel and surf days

Sun Bum works well in Amsterdam because it is simple to carry and easy to use on the move. It fits into a commuter bag, a daypack, or a beach setup without taking up much space. That makes it a practical option for cyclists, travellers, and anyone spending time between city and coast.

It also makes sense in a surf context, where sunscreen needs to handle salt, wind and repeated use. For longer days by the water, pair it with kit from our surf accessories and ponchos and towels collections.
