Why 'Phenomenal' is Truly Phenomenal
This award-winning cultivar was specifically bred to overcome the limitations of traditional lavenders. While most lavenders struggle in humid climates or lack cold hardiness, 'Phenomenal' thrives in both challenging heat and humidity AND tolerates harsh winters down to zone 5. This makes it the perfect lavender choice for gardeners across a wide range of climates who previously couldn't grow lavender successfully.
Fragrance & Uses
The intensely fragrant purple flowers are perfect for cutting and drying. Use fresh or dried flowers for: - Sachets and potpourri - Culinary applications (baking, teas, infusions) - Essential oil and aromatherapy - Fresh or dried floral arrangements - Craft projects and wreaths
Pollinator Paradise
Lavender 'Phenomenal' is a bee and butterfly magnet, providing essential nectar and pollen for beneficial pollinators throughout the summer and fall. Plant it to support honeybees, native bees, and butterflies while enjoying the delightful sight and sound of pollinators visiting your garden.
Perfect Container Plant
With its compact mounded form and moderate size (30"H x 24"W), 'Phenomenal' is an excellent choice for container gardening. Grow it on patios, balconies, or near entryways where you can enjoy its fragrance up close.
Why Choose 1-Gallon Size?
Our 1-gallon Lavender 'Phenomenal' offers excellent value with a well-developed root system that establishes quickly and often blooms the first season. This size provides immediate impact while remaining easy to plant and handle.

Great
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
While it is a bit thick, that can be great for sweaty summer activities (also it's purpose)! It does not leave a white cast (on me, though I am pale, I have experienced this with other sunscreens) and smells okay, not great but like a sunscreen would be expected to. It's not a super strong scent and does not burn my eyes. Sits good under my makeup as well.

Great protection and not greasy.
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
This sunscreen is great. It is not greasy and protects for a long time. I have had a few battles with skin cancer, but feel confident that this stuff will protect me. Yesterday was hot and sunny and my skin was still protected after 4 hours on the golf course.

Instant relief and moisturized skin well!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Cool Down Lotion
We used the Sun Bum Cool Down Aloe Vera Lotion after getting a little too much sun on vacation, and it worked so well. It gave instant cooling relief without any sticky or greasy feeling. The lotion absorbed quickly and actually soothed the burn instead of just sitting on top of the skin like some aloe gels do.
The smell is light and tropical—really pleasant and not overpowering. After applying it a couple of times, our skin felt way less hot and tight, and it definitely helped prevent peeling. We’ll absolutely be bringing this with us on every beach trip from now on!
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sunburn solution that actually works and feels good to use.

Sun Bum Cool Down After Sun Lotion
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Cool Down Lotion
I would give this more stars if I could!
As someone who spends as much time as possible soaking up the sun during the summer, I’ve found a true gem in Sun Bum’s Cool Down After Sun Lotion. This product has become my go-to for post-sun care, and it’s easy to see why—it’s like gold for sun-exposed skin! With its fantastic tropical scent, skin-loving formula, and high ratings on the Yuka app for its all-natural ingredients, this lotion is a standout. Here’s a detailed look at why I highly recommend it for anyone who loves summer adventures.
Ingredients and Yuka Rating
One of the standout features of Sun Bum’s Cool Down After Sun Lotion is its commitment to clean, natural ingredients, which has earned it excellent reviews on the Yuka app. According to the product description, it’s formulated with soothing aloe vera, vitamin E, and coconut oil, all of which work together to hydrate and nourish sun-exposed skin. These ingredients are free from harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and dyes, making it a safe choice for those prioritizing non-toxic skincare. The Yuka app, known for analyzing product safety, rates this lotion highly for its clean, natural composition, which aligns perfectly with my preference for products that are good for both my skin and the environment. This clean formula gives me peace of mind, knowing I’m not applying anything harsh after a long day in the sun.
Scent and Sensory Experience
The scent of this lotion is nothing short of phenomenal—it truly smells like summer in a bottle! The tropical, coconut-adjacent fragrance is light and refreshing, evoking the feeling of a beach vacation. Unlike some overpowering or artificial-smelling products, Sun Bum’s scent is gentle yet nostalgic, making the application process a delight. It’s not just about function; this lotion elevates the entire post-sun care routine with its inviting aroma, which lingers subtly on the skin without being overwhelming.
Performance and Skin Benefits
When it comes to performance, Sun Bum Cool Down After Sun Lotion delivers exceptional results. After hours of playing in the sun—whether swimming, hiking, or lounging on the beach—my skin often feels dry, tight, or slightly irritated. This lotion instantly soothes and cools, providing immediate relief. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue, which is a huge plus compared to some heavier after-sun products I’ve tried. My skin drinks it up, feeling soft, hydrated, and revitalized after each use. The inclusion of aloe vera helps calm any redness or mild sunburn, while coconut oil and vitamin E lock in moisture, preventing peeling and keeping my skin smooth. I’ve noticed it helps maintain my summer glow without the flakiness that can come from sun exposure.
Texture and Application
The texture of this lotion is a perfect balance—not too thick like a heavy cream, but not runny like some gels. It has a smooth, serum-like consistency that glides onto the skin effortlessly and absorbs in seconds. I appreciate how a little goes a long way, making the 8-ounce bottle last through many applications. For an extra cooling effect, I sometimes store it in the fridge, which feels incredibly refreshing on warm, sun-kissed skin. The lotion applies evenly, and I’ve used it on both my body and face without any issues, even on my sensitive skin.
Durability and Practicality
I’ve been using this lotion consistently throughout the summer, and it’s held up beautifully as part of my daily post-sun routine. The bottle is sturdy and travel-friendly, fitting easily into my beach bag or backpack. While Sun Bum notes that shipping to certain areas like Hawaii or Alaska may be restricted due to alcohol content, I’ve had no issues purchasing it locally or online for mainland use. The formula remains effective even after multiple uses in a single day, and I’ve never experienced any separation or change in texture, which speaks to its quality.
Comparison to Other After-Sun Products
Compared to other after-sun lotions I’ve tried, Sun Bum’s Cool Down stands out for its lightweight feel and natural ingredients. Many gels can feel tacky or sticky, and some creams are too heavy for summer use, but this lotion strikes the perfect balance. Its Yuka-approved clean formula also sets it apart from competitors that may contain questionable chemicals. While some after-sun products focus solely on cooling, Sun Bum’s inclusion of nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and coconut oil makes it a more comprehensive solution for skin recovery.
Pros
Clean Ingredients: High Yuka rating for all-natural, non-toxic formula with aloe vera, vitamin E, and coconut oil.
Fantastic Scent: Tropical, coconut-like fragrance that smells like summer without being overpowering.
Lightweight and Non-Greasy: Absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and hydrated without stickiness.
Soothing and Hydrating: Calms redness, prevents peeling, and restores moisture after sun exposure.
Versatile: Suitable for face and body, great for sensitive skin, and effective for mild sunburns.
Travel-Friendly: Sturdy bottle perfect for beach bags or travel.
Cons
Price Point: Slightly more expensive than drugstore alternatives, but worth it for the quality and clean ingredients.
Conclusion
Sun Bum Cool Down After Sun Lotion is a must-have for anyone who loves spending time in the sun. Its clean, natural ingredients, delightful tropical scent, and lightweight, hydrating formula make it a standout in post-sun care. My skin absolutely loves it, and the high Yuka rating gives me confidence that I’m using a product that’s good for me and the environment. Whether you’re recovering from a beach day or just need to soothe sun-exposed skin, this lotion delivers on every front. It’s become an essential part of my summer routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, skin-loving after-sun product.
