We can’t take back skincare items for hygiene reasons. But if there’s a problem, get in touch and we'll see what we can do to avoid any hard feelings.

The problem with traditional sunscreen.

If you've ever dealt with these frustrations, you're not alone.

Runs into your eyes.

3km into your run and your eyes are stinging. You can't see. You have to stop. Again. That's not protection - that's a problem.

Greasy and heavy.

Thick white layer. Ghost face. Feels like oil. You avoid it because it's uncomfortable - so you're not protected.

Doesn't last.

Applied before your ride. An hour of sweating later? Basically unprotected. Reapplying every 30 minutes isn't realistic.

Why we built this

Performance First.

Traditional sunscreens are built for the shelf, not for performance. LifeJacket is built for how people actually live.

Marathons and dog walks. Trail runs and beach days. Cycling and gardening.

We don't do skincare. We do skin protection.

What this means for you

Stays put during your toughest sessions.

Alcohol-based gel specifically engineered to resist sweat and water for continuous protection. Marathon, surf, climb - stays where you put it.

No-drip technology won't migrate into your eyes. 94% of athletes reported zero eye irritation.

What this means for you

Forget you're wearing it.

Absorbs in 30 seconds. No grease, no white cast, no sticky feeling. Won't interfere with hair, clothing, or gear.

Fresh linen fragrance - not overpowering coconut.

What this means for you

Clinical-grade protection you can trust.

SPF 50+ with UVA 5★ Ultra - highest broad-spectrum protection.

Clinically approved for sensitive, eczema-prone, and acne-prone skin. Non-comedogenic - won't clog pores.

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.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

FULL INGREDIENTS LIST (INCI)

"I've used it on multiple ultra-distance trail runs, from blazing sun on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, to energy-sapping headwinds in the Black Mountains. Unlike some creams you can exercise, get really sweaty and it doesn't sting your eyes."

Steve P, Ultra-runner

"This is the best sun cream I have used. It soaks in really well, doesn't look or feel greasy and provides great protection. I have had melanoma twice and this really helps to make me feel more comfortable when spending more time in the sun."

Jack B, Melanoma survivor (2x)

"I used this every year with my family on holidays. It has never let us down. It is a lovely product and do not feel sticky AT ALL. I love they way it makes my skin look also when applied."

Emma B (used on holiday)

Great Sun product.
Been using Life jacket products for some years now. Love all of their products. The packaging and product looks cool too. Does not feel greasy to use, and I have not ever had any sunburn when using.
