Why ordinary sunscreen fails on the water.

Most sunscreen was designed for lying on a beach. Not for hours of immersion, spray, and physical effort. On the water, the rules are completely different.

It washes off immediately.

Every time you go under, resurface, or take spray to the face, your coverage disappears. Your nose, lips, and cheekbones are exposed before you've paddled 200 metres.

No room for a bottle.

A 200ml tube doesn't fit in a wetsuit, a kayak pocket, or clipped to a board. Mid-session reapplication is impossible before it even starts.

High points burn first.

Your nose, cheekbones, lips, and ears catch UV from above and from reflection off the water. They're the most exposed spots on your face and the hardest to keep covered.

Built for hours on the water.

When you're in and out of the water all day, you need targeted protection that holds its ground. Here's what makes the Mineral Sun Stick different.

Mineral barrier that won't wash off when you resurface.
Pocket-sized stick fits a wetsuit pocket or buoyancy aid.
Fragrance-free and no eye sting, even in salt and spray.

"When kayaking in the Alps, this lived in my buoyancy aid for daily use and frequent reapplications. As a kayaker and paddleboarder, I use this to protect from sun and water reflection. An essential."

"The reflection of sunlight during breaststroke has left my face red and sunburnt so I can finally protect myself out at sea. This fits easily in the pocket of my swimming float so I can apply it during a long swim. Very happy!"

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?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

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.
