Why your current SPF lets you down outside.

Most sunscreen was made for a lounger, not a long effort. Once you're moving, sweating, and hours from the start, the gaps in your protection start to show.

High points burn first.

Your nose, cheekbones, and lips catch the sharpest UV. Standard sunscreen thins out on those spots fast, leaving exactly the areas that need the most protection with the least.

No room for a bottle.

Mid-ride, mid-run, mid-session in the surf: nobody has space for a 200ml tube. If it doesn't fit in a pocket, it doesn't come with you, and your face goes unprotected for hours.

Four hours in, it's gone.

Heat and sweat break sunscreen down faster than the label suggests. By the time you're deep into a long effort, the protection you applied at the door has long since worn off.

Built for the outdoors. Not the beach.

One stick. Pocket-sized. SPF 50+ mineral protection for a two-hour run or a full day on the water.

  • Mineral barrier that won't run into your eyes mid-effort.
  • Fits in a jersey pocket, running shorts, or a hip belt.
  • Fragrance-free SPF 50+ you can reapply in seconds without stopping.

"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."

Ewan C. — Outdoor water days, mineral convert

★★★★★

"Goes on easily, smells fine, doesn't feel greasy on the skin, doesn't easily get in your eyes, doesn't taste terrible if it gets in your mouth. It's difficult to wash off, but it means it handles sweat and moisture well while it's on."

Andy T. — Outdoor user, ticks every box

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?

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.
