Why most SPF lets you down on the bike.

Most sunscreen was designed for the beach, not for four hours at threshold. Once the heat builds and the sweat starts, the protection you applied at the car park is already compromised.

High points burn first.

Nose, cheekbones, lips sit highest on the bike and catch reflected UV from the road. They take the most damage and most cyclists ignore them completely.

No room for a full bottle.

A 200ml tube has no place in a cycling jersey. If you can't carry it, you can't reapply. And without reapplication on a long ride, you're unprotected for the bulk of your time outside.

It runs on the descent.

Liquid SPF migrates in heat and sweat. On a fast descent, it ends up exactly where you don't want it. Eyes stinging at 50km/h is not a small problem.

Why cyclists reach for the Sun Stick.

Built for long efforts, packed for jersey pockets. Here's what makes it different on the bike.

  • Stays on through four hours of sweat without running into your eyes.
  • Fits in any jersey pocket for fast mid-ride reapplication.
  • 100% mineral, fragrance-free: no irritation around eyes, nose, or lips.

★★★★★

"This is the perfect size for long bike rides where reapplication is required - it's actually tiny and very packable - also goes on really well and stays on really well - even on a hot 200 mile ride - no hesitation in recommending it."

Nick H. — Cyclist, packs light for 200-mile rides

★★★★★

"As a cyclist I've tried various makes and brands. Each one had a problem with sweat, rain or just not doing the job. Since using this I have yet to burn. Fits in a jersey pocket, no odour, not greasy."

Joseff — Cyclist, long rides

"Coming from a family where I have lost a close relative to melanoma... The feel of the sunscreen and moisturiser are less greasy than other products... I use the Sun Stick when I'm out on my bike."

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.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

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.
