Why most sunscreen lets you down outside.
Most SPF is formulated for low-effort use. Sun loungers. Light strolls. The moment you start working hard outdoors, things change. Sweat breaks it down. Heat lifts it off. You're left thinking you're covered when you're not.
Gone within the hour.
Greasy, so it stays in the bag.
Runs straight into your eyes.
Why active people choose LifeJacket.
- Absorbs in seconds, no grease, no residue, no sticky finish.
- Stays put through sweat, heat, and hours of outdoor effort.
- No eye sting. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ you'll actually reapply.

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 every 2-3 hours, especially after towelling off, sweating or swimming. Every couple of hours and you're covered.

HOW TO USE
