KEY FEATURES.

Some of the reasons people love LifeJacket and keep buying this product.

LIGHTWEIGHT & NON-GREASY

We spent two years in our lab designing products that didn't feel heavy, rich and oily. We wanted to make sure they'd meet your needs and that you'd come back for more. The reviews say it all.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Maximum UVA rating and a very high SPF guarantee high performance protection. Pair that with a non-greasy and lightweight skin feel and you'll understand why this is used by so many professional and Olympic athletes.

NO STINGING

One of the most common sunscreen complaints - this won't cause your eyes to sting, even when you sweat or put it through its paces.

    The best your skin can get....

    I've had treatment for Basal Cell Carcinoma so now have zero tolerance for further damage. But, I spend a lot of time outside and in the mountains. Gave Lifejacket a serious test during the recent Ben Nevis hill race here in Scotland and it worked perfectly. Despite soaring temperatures and dumping a LOT of sweat it didn't run and gave solid protection. Unlike many others, it's a pleasure to apply and feels great on the skin. Many thanks 🙏🏼

PROTECT & DETECT.

Protecting your skin daily is a sensible strategy to help prevent future issues with your skin. But it's just as important to check your skin regularly for any changes. Our partner Map My Mole can help you manage this quickly, conveniently and cost-effectively.

OUR TIP.

For face and body coverage on mid to high strength UV days when you'll be outdoors for a while. Use on any exposed skin and make sure you use the correct amount (5ml per body part). Re-apply regularly to avoid especially if sweating, towelling or swimming.

IN GOOD COMPANY.

Developed with industry experts, our products are used by everyday folk (like us), professional athletes, Olympians and our team of epic brand ambassadors. Make LifeJacket an everyday essential for your long-term skin health.

OUR STORY

MEET BILLY, JONO AND ROB.

Our story began with personal setback. We were three healthy young men, who thought we were indestructible. But then, several of our friends – all healthy and in their thirties, like us – were hit by cancer. One of them was Jono, our co-founder.

This inspired us to set-up LifeJacket with the single vision of halting the increase in skin cancer - THE world’s most common cancer and, unlike other cancers, one that’s 90% preventable. In the UK, rates have doubled since the 90s and they’re forecast to double again over the next 20 years.

LifeJacket is a positive brand inspiring people who love to be outdoors to use our kit, protect their skin and keep doing what they love. We believe in everyday protection as the best means of achieving long-term skin health and well-being.

Developed and made in the UK with industry experts, our high performance skincare and UPF 50+ apparel is stress-tested by everyday folk (like us), professional athletes, Olympians, military personnel and our team of brand ambassadors.

Just give us a shout via social, our website or email and we'll take it from there.
