All sunburns are uniquely painful thats no secret.

Sum Bum and Hawaiian Tropic make my favorites, but I also use Supergoop and CeraVe in a pinch.

It has a relatively strong, classic sunscreen scent.

While it does leave behind a sunscreen-y scent, it has tropical undertones so its not too disruptive.

Plus, the bottle comes with a cap to prevent accidental spillage in a bag.
