Traditional sunscreens create a thick, occlusive film that traps heat and sweat against your skin. The Sports Mesh formula does the opposite — it creates a micro-perforated protective barrier that blocks UV rays while allowing moisture and heat to escape. Your skin can sweat and regulate temperature naturally during intense exercise.

The difference is noticeable. It feels lighter than conventional sport sunscreens. No heavy, pore-clogging layer cooking on your skin during a run. Non-greasy, absorbs fast, and stays put through sweat.

This is the land-sport sunscreen — running, cycling, hiking, tennis, football, construction work, gardening. Anything where you're generating heat and need your skin to breathe. For water sports where immersion resistance matters more, the Extreme Zinc Lotion (20% zinc, 4-hour water resistance) is the better pick.

Who it's for

Runners, cyclists, hikers, tennis players, soccer players, and any land-based athlete who needs sun protection that won't overheat them. Also great for outdoor workers, gardeners, and anyone active in hot conditions.

FAQs

What does "breathable mesh" actually mean?

Traditional sunscreens create a thick, occlusive film that traps heat and sweat against your skin. The Sports Mesh formula uses a micro-perforated protective barrier that blocks UV rays while allowing moisture and heat to escape — so your skin can sweat and breathe naturally during intense exercise.

Who is this sunscreen designed for?

Runners, cyclists, hikers, tennis players, CrossFitters, and any athlete doing land-based sports where overheating and sweat management are real concerns. If you're active and hate the feeling of heavy sunscreen cooking on your skin during a workout, this is for you.

Is this better than the Extreme Zinc Lotion for my sport?

If your sport involves water immersion (surfing, swimming), use the Extreme Zinc Lotion — it has 20% zinc oxide and is built for water. If your sport is land-based and you need to sweat freely (running, cycling, hiking, tennis), the Sports Mesh is the better choice for breathability and comfort.

Does this contain zinc oxide?

No. The Sports Mesh uses chemical UV filters only (including Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) to achieve SPF 50+ without the heaviness of zinc. It is not reef safe.

Will it run into my eyes when I sweat?

The formula is sweat resistant and designed to stay in place during intense physical activity. For extra security around the forehead during very heavy sweating, pair it with a Sun Zapper zinc stick on the brow area for a belt-and-braces approach.

Does it feel greasy or heavy?

No. The whole point of the breathable mesh technology is a lightweight, non-greasy finish. It feels noticeably lighter than traditional sport sunscreens.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

The formula contains Aloe Vera and is free from heavy mineral filters, making it lightweight and comfortable. However, if you have very sensitive or reactive skin, patch test first or consider the Pure Zinc range which contains zero chemical filters.
