Is it actually waterproof?
Is it actually waterproof?
Yes, yes it it. Though the powers that be won’t let us put “waterproof” on the tube (thanks FDA), by utilizing a reverse emulsion and silicone, the sunscreen is hydrophobic. No, we don’t hate Pride Month, that just means our sunscreen formula repels water.
Does it dry clear on the skin?
Does it dry clear on the skin?
Yes *as long as you apply within reason* If you use sunscreen like a normal person, you’ll be in the clear. If you’re cosplaying as a cupcake with a frosting fetish, you’re gonna be left with some white streaks.

Is burnd toxin-free?
The better question to ask would be: “Does burnd have any chemicals in it that have been clinically proven to damage skin or be toxic to humans?” The answer to this is no. We hold our ingredients to a high standard and would NEVER put in chemicals that would hurt you guys. Basically, don’t use it like toothpaste, just let science science and do it’s job of protecting your skin. If you want to know what goes in each bottle, check out the “secret ingredients” tab on the product page.
How long does each bottle last?
How long does each bottle last?
This depends entirely on how much you use. If you’re going full body, it’ll last about 2 weeks. If you’re just protecting your face, you should get a few months out of one tube. Or you’ll buy this sunscreen, use it for the first week, skip a few days, pay for it and get a sunburn, remember you just bought sunscreen and start your routine again. That’ll last you about a year and a half.

How often should I reapply?
How often should I reapply?
In an ideal world, the doctor’s answer is every two hours, and we wholeheartedly agree. But let’s be honest you’re not going to do that. You’re not a nerd. Just apply before you head out and maybe a couple of times throughout the day. The beauty of the burnd formula is that if you forget, you’ll be just fine.
Is it going to give me acne?
Is it going to give me acne?
burnd was made with sensitive skin in mind. Unlike most sunscreens on the market, our formula was specially design to protect your skin WITHOUT clogging pores. That being said you’re always vulnerable to irritating your skin if you decide to put some sort of foreign cream on it. Just ask my buddy Mike who thought Icy Hot was hand cream...
Can I apply makeup over the sunscreen?
Can I apply makeup over the sunscreen?
Yes, and it actually works really well. This is a happy and unintended byproduct of using silicone—the sunscreen won’t mix into or disrupt your makeup. You can put the sunscreen on before or after you craft those perfect contours.

Do the products expire?
Do the products expire?
Legally, we have to put an expiration date on the tube, but the sunscreen won’t really expire. We have tubes of the original formula from 2004 that we still use. Not saying we recommend you age burnd 20 years like a good bourbon, but if you did, it would still work.
Does burnd contain nanoparticles?
Does burnd contain nanoparticles?
Yes it does, but it’s not what you think. TikTok science will tell you that nanoparticles are bad for you, but that’s because they are confusing nanoparticles with micro-plastics (which are real and bad). Our nanoparticles won’t get absorbed into your skin - our topical nanoparticles sit on top of your epidermis and provide a real, physical barrier to better protect you from the sun.
Does Burnd have any fragrances or dyes?
Does Burnd have any fragrances or dyes?
Nope, we’re fragrance free! Just close your eyes, dream real hard, and try not to fart!
