Product Overview
Hampton Sun Classic Sun SPF 30 Lotion is the brand's signature body sunscreen, combining broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with conditioning skincare ingredients. Its transparent lotion texture spreads easily and leaves the skin with a silky, velvety-soft finish.
A blend of four UV filters provides SPF 30 protection, while Vitamin E and Aloe Vera help moisturize, soothe and replenish skin exposed to the sun. The formula supports a smoother, more comfortable appearance without the visible cast commonly associated with mineral sunscreen.
Designed for daily wear and outdoor activities, the lotion is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Hampton Sun's signature Privet Bloom scent gives the application a crisp, refined finish.
Recommended For
- Daily broad-spectrum body sun protection
- Normal, dry or sun-exposed skin
- Skin that benefits from added hydration and soothing care
- Outdoor activities, travel, sports and beach days
- Clients who prefer a transparent sunscreen without a mineral cast
- Anyone seeking a silky body lotion with SPF 30
Texture and Experience
The lotion melts smoothly into the skin and applies transparently across skin tones. Its silky texture leaves a soft, hydrated finish without an opaque white residue.
The signature Privet Bloom scent is crisp and elevated, giving daily sun protection the polished sensory character associated with Hampton Sun.
Care Step
Use as the final protective step of the morning body-care routine, after moisturizer and before sun exposure. Pair it with an appropriate facial sunscreen and lip SPF for complete coverage of exposed areas.

Professional Recommendation
The transparent texture makes this lotion especially convenient for clients who dislike the visible residue of mineral formulas. Pay particular attention to the shoulders, chest, hands, feet and other areas that are frequently missed during body application.
For a dependable routine, keep this lotion where you will actually reach for it, apply it as the last step of body care, and follow the label directions each time. Because the texture stays transparent, it layers easily under a cover-up or over an existing tan without changing how your skin looks. Add a facial sunscreen and a lip SPF, lean on shade and covered clothing when the sun is strongest, and stop use and check in with a professional if sensitivity or irritation develops.
Safety Information
Apply generously to all exposed skin about 15 minutes before you go outside, and reapply at least every two hours. Reapply right away after swimming, toweling off or heavy sweating: this formula is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, not beyond it. Sunscreen works alongside shade, a hat and covering clothing, not instead of them. Keep the lotion away from your eyes, and rinse with water if any gets in. For external use only.
Not recommended for:
- Children under 6 months of age.
- Broken, freshly shaved or actively irritated skin.
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to chemical UV filters or added fragrance.
- Use as your only sun measure during long midday exposure, without shade or covering clothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Classic Sun SPF 30 different from the SPF 30 Mineral Lotion?
Classic Sun uses four transparent UV filters (avobenzone, octocrylene,
homosalate and octisalate), so it disappears on every skin tone and leaves no
visible cast. The SPF 30 Mineral Lotion
uses 20% zinc oxide instead, which sits on the surface of the skin and can
leave a light film that is more noticeable on deep skin tones. Both give you
broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection; choose Classic Sun when an invisible finish
matters most.
Will it leave a white cast?
No. The lotion melts in clear and finishes silky rather than opaque, which is
why it works well on shoulders, chest and hands where a mineral film tends to
show.
How often do I need to reapply?
At least every two hours in the sun, and immediately after swimming, drying
off with a towel or sweating heavily. The 80-minute water resistance is a
limit, not a full day of coverage.
Does it cover my face and lips too?
This is a body lotion. For the face, use a dedicated formula such as the
Age-Defying SPF 50 Mineral Face Crème
or the SPF 50 Mineral Face Stick, and finish with the
SPF 30 Mineral Moisture Lip Balm for lips.
What does it feel and smell like?
Lightweight and silky, with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera supporting a hydrated,
comfortable finish, and the brand's crisp Privet Bloom scent. If you prefer no
added fragrance in a sun product, this is not the one to start with.
