Why your current SPF is failing you in the surf.

Most sunscreen is made for lying on a beach. Not for repeated submersion, impact and hours of hard paddling. Once you're in the water, the rules change completely.

First wave, last SPF.

Water strips chemical sunscreen fast. One wipeout and the protection you applied on the beach is already dispersing into the break. Your face is exposed before you've caught a single wave.

High points burn first.

Cheekbones, nose, ears and lips angle directly at the sun and take the most UV. They're also the first areas to lose coverage when water hits. That's where the damage starts.

No room for a bottle.

You're not carrying a 200ml tube into the sea. And leaving it on the beach means reapplication just doesn't happen. By the time you're out after a long session, it's already too late.

Why surfers choose the Mineral Sun Stick.

You need face protection that survives the ocean, not just the beach. Here's what makes this different from everything else in your bag.

  • 100% mineral barrier stays put through wipeouts and paddle-outs.
  • No sting when salt water hits your eyes mid-session.
  • Pocket-sized for fast reapplication between sets on the sand.

"It's a mineral sun cream so expect to have white marks but it's incredibly effective and keeps my partner and my faces protected through long days exposed to the sun on water or hills. Doesn't sting into your eyes when sweating."

GOOD TO KNOW.

What is an SPF 50+ sun stick?

Our SPF 50+ stick is a type of sunscreen that comes in a solid, stick form. It offers very high protection against harmful UV rays.

Sunscreen on a stick is convenient, portable and easy to apply, especially on hard-to-reach areas. It’s also less messy and less likely to leak, making it perfect for travel.

How is the SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector different to the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick?

The SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector is designed specifically for everyday lip care. It delivers SPF 50+ UV protection along with deep hydration and repair using shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E-perfect for preventing chapping, cracking, and dryness.

On the other hand, the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick is first and foremost a sunscreen made from mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). It is made for larger areas of skin, like your face, nose, ears, and neck to create a physical barrier against the sun.

Can I use the SPF 50+ sun stick on my face, especially if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is designed for use on both the face and body.

It’s formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin while providing effective skin protection. Often, people with very sensitive skin find mineral sunscreens don't irritate their skin and this product uses 100% mineral UV filters.

In fact, all of our products are clinically and dermatologically tested and approved for use on sensitive skin and are suitable for all skin types.

If you have any questions about specific ingredients, please just give us a shout.

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.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

We use a tracked service for nearly all of our deliveries. You will get an email from us when your order has been despatched which will include the tracking details.

What makes LifeJacket's SPF 50+ sun stick different?

Our SPF 50+ stick is developed and made in the UK with industry experts. It's used and stress-tested by pro athletes, Olympians, and the military.

What if I'm not in when it's delivered?

The majority of our products fit through the average letter box. In the event your order doesn't, Royal Mail will leave a card letting you know they tried to deliver and what the next step is (either your order was left in a safe place or it has been returned to your local sorting office where it can either be collected, or a redelivery booked).

Is the SPF 50+ sun stick water resistant?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is a 100% mineral sunscreen, designed to be water-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor activities.

We encourage people to re-apply every 2-3 hours, especially after towelling, swimming or sweating.
