Sunscreen feels like a punishment.

We heard you.

Most sunscreen is thick and greasy.

Coconut scent, white cast, greasy hands. The experience is so unpleasant that people under-apply or skip it entirely. That's the real problem.

SPF 50+ can be overkill for daily use.

High SPF often means thicker formula. If you're not at the beach all day, you don't need the heaviest protection — you need something you'll actually wear.

If it's unpleasant, you won't reapply.

Sunscreen only works if you use enough and top up regularly. If reapplying feels like a chore, you skip it. By the end of the day, you've burned.

Why we built this

Sunscreen you'll actually want to wear.

Traditional sunscreen is thick, greasy, and smells like a beach holiday. Most people hate wearing it. This gel changes that. Lightweight formula that absorbs in seconds. Fresh linen fragrance. No greasy residue, no white cast, no stinging eyes. SPF 30 with maximum UVA rating.

What this means for you

Lightweight gel that disappears on your skin.

Water-based formula sinks in immediately. No sticky feeling, no white cast. Fresh linen scent instead of coconuts. Here's an SPF 30 sunscreen you'll actually want to use.

What this means for you

Clinically approved for sensitive skin.

Dermatologically tested on sensitive skin, this product has countless positive reviews from people with psoriasis, eczema and other skin disorders.

What this means for you

SPF 30 for everyday use.

Enough protection for daily life without the heavy formula. Lighter texture, easier application, more likely to actually use it. Save SPF 50 for beach days.

Every ingredient matters.

Every ingredient matters. We use only what’s needed—nothing more. Our high-performance formulas are built on cutting-edge science and smart ingredient tech. That’s why they work and why we’re different.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY

Tris-Biphenyl Triazine - Next-generation UV filter. 10 years of EU testing before approval
Tinosorb S + M - Photostable filters for comprehensive UVA/UVB defence
Propylheptyl Caprylate - Creates silky texture and reduces white cast.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

FULL INGREDIENTS LIST (INCI)

Having used it I'm impressed by its lightness (not sticky or oily) and its absorption. You don't feel as if it's there, but it does give great protection from the sun.

Simon B - Sunscreen convert

I first discovered Lifejacket Sun Creams via a promo by Red Paddle Board. The highlights for me were: Non greasy application, smells great, absorbs quickly.

Danny - Paddle boarder

Best sun lotion I’ve ever used. This went on easily. Slightly white at first which disappeared into a non sticky dryish finish.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What's the difference between the SPF 30 Sun Gel and Daily Protection Moisturiser?

While both offer SPF 30 and UVA / UVA 5* protection, the Sun Gel is an alcohol based, white gel that we would say is a sunscreen first. The small amount of alcohol we add means that you get what's called 'flash' on the skin so once you put it on, it spreads quickly and doesn't feel greasy.

The Daily Protection Moisturiser is a moisturiser first and is designed for daily use. It is an aqueous cream with added moisturising ingredients. It is also non-greasy and doesn't leave a white cast.

When will I get my order?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.
