OUR STORY

We created LifeJacket after seeing several close, male friends experience cancer at a young age. Almost two men die of skin cancer for every one woman and it’s our vision to stop the increase in male skin cancer by inspiring men to take better care of their skin every day.

A HAPPIER YOU

Taking better care isn’t just about preventing skin cancer though. Your skin is under attack every day - all year round - from harsh weather, central heating, pollution, smoke and stress to UV. We believe year-round protected skin is healthy skin and healthy skin is a happier you.

GOOD COMPANY

Developed with industry experts, our products are used by everyday folk (like us), professional athletes, Olympians and our team of epic brand ambassadors. Make LifeJacket an everyday essential for your long-term skin health.

AS SEEN IN

Recognised for our commitment to skin cancer prevention, our work with charity partner, Melanoma UK, and our educational campaign, more and more people are noticing what we’re up to. This is long-term project but it’s always good to know we’re making waves.

Reviews for SPF 30 Sun Gel

  1. JB –

    Easy to apply all over my (shaved) head

  2. Timothy Preston –

    The sun screen is of a thinner consistency than the moisturiser and does absorb into the skin. It does leave a little greasiness on the skin but that can be expected as it forms a barrier on the skin.

  3. Andrew Christie –

    Love it! Applies nicely without greasy feeling skin after, smells good and I’m not sunburnt so I’ll assume it is working as it should! Like the company ethos too. Great stuff.

  4. John –

    Non greasy and didn’t run into my eyes like other products!

  5. Paul B –

    Total protection with no burning in Egypt.

  6. Fi –

    It lasts even while running.

  7. Simon –

    Great product…. used ever day on a holiday to The Dominican Republic and didn’t burn at all…

  8. Paul Baker –

    Very successful for holiday in Egypt

  9. Andy Dalziel –

    Gel absorbed into my skin and unlike other sun protection creams/gels, wasn’t at all greasy. Excellent protection from the sun whilst on holiday. Didn’t burn at all whilst in the sun.

  10. Jane –

    This was a gift but from what I’ve been told they were very happy with the gift.

  11. Brian Carter –

    Looks good, really gift was well received.

  12. David Rouse –

    It goes on nicely, lovely scent and not at all greasy

  13. Steve –

    This is a non- stinging and easily absorbed sun cream that goes a long way. I’ve used it every day whilst on holiday

  14. Jerry –

    As a surfer I spend alot of time in the water,this is the best sunscreen I have found ,and I’ve try’d alot. Had problems with other sunscreens causing irritation to my eyes,this is great no problems at all,will recommend to my other surfing buddies.

  15. James –

    Haven’t had full use yet, but so far so good. Like the branding and company purpose

  16. Guy –

    Fab product. My only criticism is the containers are fiddly. Unscrewing and rescrewing with product in hand is simply not very practical. But LOVE the products generally

  17. andy –

    For a guy the smell is good, non greasy, and felt great – so much better than other brands…

  18. Elma –

    Very happy with the product, packaging and price point, have already recommended it

  19. Darrell –

    I have already recommended it! The service is excellent and the products do what they say they do! I hate the feel of heavy or greesy creams that don’t let your skin breath – all the products I’ve tried have been unintrusive in that they are light and once rubbed in disappear!

  20. Christopher –

    I like the products and have already recommended them to others

  21. Simon –

    Having used it I’m impressed by its lightness (not sticky or oily) and Its absorption. You don’t feel as if it’s there, but it does give great protection from the sun. I’m not usually moved enough by any product to leave feedback, but I am by this. I will definitely be reordering.

  22. Russell –

    Great suncream and not too greasy

  23. John –

    Probably my biggest negative was trying to read the information on the containers. The writing was very small and the colours used did not help me>

  24. Andy –

    These products do the job they claim to do really well.

  25. Danny –

    I first discovered Lifejacket Sun Creams via a promo by Red Paddle Board, after ordering a small 30+ and 50+ I found them to be exactly as described, the highlighs for me were; Non greasy application, no need to wash hands after application and they do not run into and sting my eyes when sweating doing outdoor activities unlike other creams.
    I have subsequently bought a Rash Vest which not only looks great but fits well and gives me all the protection I need on my SUP.
    It is also quite exciting recieving your new purchase, what will be in the box/bag, personal note from Jono, never had one of them from Bezos!

  26. Andrew –

    Love you stuff… perfect to tuck away on my paddle board

  27. Owen Kieran –

    The product is good, it is easy to apply and soaks in quickly. My only improvement would be to have a clip lid as opposed to a screw top. When applying I’ve had some leakage from the bottle when laid down. Other than that I can’t fault it

  28. Kris –

    Purchased as traditional sun lotions make my skin greasy and spot prone.

    Highly recommend Lifejacket, applies like a sun lotion but completely non greasy & pleasant scent.

    Stops me getting scorched as well!

  29. Nigel –

    Always looking for a good waterproof sun gel, well I can stop looking, this stuff is just the best, it rubs in brilliantly, protects my skin from the sun and smells ace, what’s not to love. Will definitely be having some more. If I use all this it means one thing, the weather is great.

  30. Phillip –

    Excellent moisturiser and sun cream. Good on and absorbs really well, 100% non-greasy. Package fits through the letterbox too.

  31. Jonathan –

    Great value, service and personalised feedback

  32. Tom –

    You’re awesome , your mission is so personal but so relevant whilst being so under appreciated by men. Thank you for persevering in getting your message out to the masses through such excellent products.

  33. Jane –

    I think the product is very good

  34. Andrew –

    This product left my skin feeling great, not at all greasy and soaked in really well. Definitely recommend!

  35. Jane Bothwell –

    Very good product and it is NOT greasy,
    which for my personal use ( Golfer ) is very important

  36. Matthew –

    A product that offers the protection I need, that is deigned for men, is easily absorbed and non-greasy – what’s not to like.
    I had originally bought for use when on my bike but now use it all of the time. Will definitely buy again and will definitely try other products – would happily recommend.

  37. Marie –

    love the bright modern packaging.

  38. Gordon –

    Not only are the products up there with the best, the packaging is great as it can be used for other things (like going camping or a day hike). Also the hand written note makes it a more personal experience

  39. Paul –

    I find this sun gel is great for everyday use, I have facial hair and this evaporates off and doesn’t leave me looking like Santa, highly recommend. Look after your skin fellas.

  40. John –

    Quick delivery, great packaging, perfect product at reasonable price

  41. Matt Bennetto –

    I have a life long hate of putting on sun cream, especially if I can’t wash my hands, this is different, feels great not greasy , very impressed- would recommend, the sun seems to be getting stronger, finally I am using the right protection.

  42. Tony –

    Great sun protection, & unlike every other sunscreen I have used, this one doesn’t sting your eyes when when you get a sweat on. Well done Jono & team.

  43. Greg –

    Great company ethos, I believe in the mission and I’m really impressed with the service too. The products have been well thought out and formulated too so it’s a nice change form being just all about the image. I also like to support smaller businesses and will happily recommend good experiences to others to help them grow

  44. Jonathan –

    Love what you guys are about – from your mission, to the products, to the service. Well done.

  45. Scott –

    Great mission with super products and a real personal feel to the shopping experience. Support the team, do good and look after yourself. What’s not to like?!

  46. Richard –

    The moisturisers feel great…not sticky which is essential in Japan’s hot and humid spring / summer. Also smell great…very subtle but nice and fresh. The sunblocks work much better than any of the sprays / lotions I can buy here. Non-sticky, stay on during exercise but also wash off easily enough with soap and a body towel (essential when trying to follow up exercise in the sun with a soak in a hot spring!)

  47. William –

    You always have to do better!

  48. Peter –

    Your mission to combat skin cancer

  49. Peter –

    Very good products & customer service

  50. Robert –

    Great sun gel absorbs into the skin quickly and lasts hours perfect for the golf course and long coastal walks

  51. Craig –

    Good brand and products, so what’s not to like. You’re looking after yourself and supporting a sustainable brand as well.

  52. Andrew –

    Like the products!

  53. Simon –

    Very happy with both products (Daily Protection Moisturiser and the SPF 30 Sun Gel)

  54. Rebecca –

    It’s excellent quality

  55. Derek –

    It’s the first product I have found that isn’t greasy and sticky. It gets absorbed into the skin. Not just on it.

  56. Sarah –

    Great company and love the product

  57. Phill –

    Happy with the products. I think it’s important to look after my skin. Most of our friends work in the outdoors. Very impressed with the presentation to British Mountain Guides last year. It highlighted to me the importance of using suntan / moisturising cream. Thank you !

  58. Kam –

    Great smelling product, brand focusing male USP and great customer service.

  59. Mac –

    Great product

  60. Gareth –

    I have sensitive skin and eczema, and these products do NOT have a detrimental effect!awesome

  61. Tim –

    The product is superb

  62. Deano –

    Fantastic sun cream. Absorbs excellently. Doesn’t leave streaks through hair and gives great protection without smelling over powering. Good value. Brilliant service. 5/5

  63. Iain –

    Really good product. Absorbs quickly non greasy – and doesn’t run into the eyes when you sweat… very important on the bike!

  64. GUY –

    First time I’ve ever been excited to wear sunscreen! Gel works great and goes a long way. Packing and branding is brilliant, flying the sun protection flag for men. Love that all the products are crafted in the UK. 🇬🇧

  65. Dave –

    Feels great, not greasy

  66. Paul –

    Honestly, this is so much better than gels I have used in the past. Goes on easily, no need to rub and rub and rub, just leave it a minute and it is “gone”. Incredible

  67. Calvin –

    Finally!!!!! A product for guys. Cheers LifeJacket

  68. Rod –

    Game changer. I typically hate putting suncream on as it leaves my hands greasy but this doesn’t. I’m a convert.

  69. Sophie –

    I originally bought this for my husband who comes up with every excuse not to use sun creams. He loves it and I actually use it myself. He is also quite hairy and thinks works fantastically for him.

  70. Chris –

    Great sun protection – easy to apply, rubs in easily & nice smell!

  71. Duncan –

    I’ve only used the sun protection and that worked well. Not at all greasy, which was great. Haven’t tried the moisturiser yet but looking forward to giving it a go.

  72. George –

    I have recently bought a bottle of high sun gel. As a man this product is perfect!

    It’s very easy to apply (even on my hairy chest), it smells good, and I love the packaging. The bottle is pretty flat so it fits in my spongebag easily and all the advice and stories on the Life Jacket website is invaluable.

    It’s far superior than all the other sun creams I’ve used and I’ve got a strong feeling I’ll be a life-long customer. Thanks a million!

Skin science

A burning issue for men

Almost twice as many men die from skin cancer compared to women. Male skin cancer cases have exploded over the past 20 years and they’re forecast to double over the next 20 years.

It's chemistry

UVA rays penetrate your skin damaging the proteins that give your skin structure, causing ageing and wrinkling. UVB damages the outer skin causing sunburn. Together they're a cause of cancer.

Putting your jacket on

Real skincare should protect you from both harmful UVA and UVB rays. Rays touch your skin all year long, even in the winter. Apply skin protection all year round and stay healthy.

Our mission is to halt skin cancer amongst men and to do this we need to offer high performance products men enjoy using. So far, the feedback has been positive…..

“These guys have come up with a terrific product which appeals to me, and many other men who have in the past shied away from using sun creams. Easy to apply, works really well and the branding is superb.”

Simon, London

“I was keen to try the Life Jacket sun gel as I always struggle with normal sun protection due to my sensitive, eczema prone skin, but this is noticeably different. It causes me no irritation and no greasiness on my hands.”

Chuckie, Hertfordshire
