SPF that survives the climb.

Most sunscreen is gone long before your run is. LifeJacket SPF 50+ Sun Protection Spray is oil-based, so it bonds to skin under real sweat and stays put through every climb.

Why your current SPF fails on the trail.

Most sunscreen was made for the beach. Not for a 3-hour technical trail with 800 metres of climb. Under that kind of sustained effort, the rules change completely.

No hands free to reapply.

You're mid-climb, poles in hand, pack on your back. Squeezing a tube and rubbing in cream takes two hands and a pause you don't have. The coverage gap grows.

Sweat strips it off fast.

Water-based creams start breaking down the moment hard effort begins. By the top of the first long climb, the protection you applied at the trailhead is already compromised.

Scalp and shoulders go unprotected.

The most exposed skin on a trail run is the hardest to reach. Cream won't spread through hair. Your scalp, parting, and upper back take the full force of direct sun. Unprotected.

Built for how trail running actually feels.

Long climbs, hard descents, real sweat. Your SPF needs to keep up. Here's what makes LifeJacket different on the trail.

  • Spray on, swipe in, keep moving. One hand, two seconds, done.
  • Oil-based formula bonds to skin under sweat. Still working at the final descent.
  • No white cast, no greasy residue, no distraction. Just SPF 50+ UVA ultra protection.

"Sunscreen is a pain if you run every day. So frequently don't bother. But this takes away the hassle, quick and easy to apply, doesn't run off with sweat or rain. Ideal"

John C. — Male, 45-54

"I purchased this product for a 8km race in Lake Okanagan in BC Canada. All other sunscreens I had access to would not protect me for the 3 hours plus that I was in the water. I have a skin condition called Vitiligo causing me to have no protection from
The sun. This product kept me from burning during my race!"

Who is LifeJacket for?

We're for anyone who wants to look after their skin and perhaps learn a little more about how to best achieve that. Whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, dog walker, gardener or commuter, the science remains the same. Our products cater for every personal preference and environment, so it's just about finding what works for you.

I checked this product on a third-party rating app and it got a bad score. Should I be worried?

We'd say the same thing to our own families: no.

LifeJacket exists because skin cancer is 90% preventable and people aren't protecting themselves enough. What goes into our products matters to us more than it matters to most. So when a rating app flags one of our formulations, we take that seriously. And then we look at the science.

The ingredient flagged is Octocrylene, a widely used UV filter that's been approved under EU cosmetic regulations for decades. EU cosmetic law sets strict legal limits on the concentration of each ingredient permitted in a formulation. Those limits aren't arbitrary. They're the output of decades of scientific review by some of the most rigorous regulatory bodies in the world. We formulate within them. Every product we make is also independently safety assessed before it reaches market, with a review of the precise ingredient composition. That's the kind of rigorous, context-aware evaluation that tells you whether something is actually safe.

Rating apps can't do that. They flag ingredients by name, without knowing the concentrations in the finished product. That context is fundamental. Without it, you're not assessing safety. You're just reading a label.

We follow the law and the science. Not an algorithm.

We also believe in choice. If you'd prefer a mineral-based formula, our SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and scores well on these apps. It's a brilliant product.
