Why most sunscreen fails before the summit.
Most sunscreen was designed for lying on a beach. Not for a full day gaining altitude in serious conditions. Under sustained effort, heat and sweat, standard SPF breaks down fast.
Gone within the first hour.
Stings at the worst moment.
Too heavy to bother with.
Built for the whole day on the hill.
- Stays put through 6+ hours of sweat and altitude.
- Won't run into your eyes on steep technical sections.
- Absorbs in seconds. Nothing greasy in your pack or on your skin.

HOW TO USE
Apply.
Use about one teaspoon per limb (arms, legs), one for your face and neck, one for your front and one for your back. Apply 20-30 minutes before heading out, giving it time to absorb properly.

HOW TO USE
Re-apply.
Re-apply at least every two hours, and always after towelling off, sweating heavily or swimming.

HOW TO USE
Pro tip.
Your go-to for face and body when you're spending serious time outside in strong sun. Trail runs, beach days, long cycles - this is the one that stays put.
