Why most SPF fails you on a run.

Most sunscreen was designed for sitting still. Running changes everything. Heat builds, sweat kicks in within minutes, and the parts of your face catching the most UV are the last ones you remember to protect.

High points burn first.

Cheekbones, nose, brow line. They catch UV at every angle. On a run, they're also catching wind and sweat, stripping whatever you put on even faster.

No room for a bottle.

A 200ml tube has no place in your pocket at mile eight. Most runners leave it at home. Most runners regret it by the time the sun's up properly.

Long runs need top-ups.

Four hours in, your first application is long gone. Heat and sweat break SPF down faster than the clock does. Your face needs another layer.

Built for the way runners actually move.

Pocket-sized, sweat-resistant, and on your face in seconds. This is what sun protection looks like when it's designed around effort, not beach towels.

  • Stays put through sweat, wind, and effort. No sting.
  • Fits in your shorts pocket for mid-run top-ups.
  • 100% mineral, fragrance-free, clinically approved for sensitive skin.

"I used it during a 50 mile ultramarathon. When I was sweating I didn't get that annoying eye sting from when the cream and sweat drip down. It's a perfect size for my kit bag too."

Chris B. — Ultramarathon runner, no sweat sting

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.
