sun lotion

SPF in bottle

Sun lotion is a cream or liquid applied to skin to protect against sunburn and ultraviolet radiation.

The term is interchangeable with sunscreen and suntan lotion, though suntan lotion sometimes implies a product meant to promote tanning rather than block it: Don't forget to put on sun lotion before you go to the beach.
