Shade Thrower

R259

SPF50+ Sun Protection

Built for athletes and outdoor movers, Shade Thrower isn’t cosmetic SPF—it’s functional protection that keeps up with sweat, heat, and movement.

Shade Thrower goes on clean and breathable, never stinging, sliding, or suffocating. It’s planet-friendly too—mineral-based, reef-safe, biodegradable, and vegan. Built for motion, it protects whether you’re training, racing, or recovering outdoors, moving seamlessly with you.

This is sunscreen for effort, not aesthetics. A durable layer of defence that works as hard as your body does.

The sun doesn’t care about your pace. We do.

Why You’ll Love It

SPF50+ Mineral Protection – Broad-spectrum defense against UVA/UVB, built for active days
No White Cast, No Shine – Clean, invisible finish on all skin tones
Sweat-Compatible – Wears light, won’t sting eyes, and layers well with your routine
Reef-Safe & Biodegradable – Made without oxybenzone or octinoxate—safe for skin and sea
Vegan & Cruelty-Free – High-performance protection without compromise

Support that holds when the effort gets real.

Shade Thrower is built for movement under sun, sweat, and exposure—without harming the environment you’re moving through.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – A mineral UV filter that physically reflects UVA and UVB rays. It’s broad-spectrum, photostable, and non-absorbent—ideal for sensitive skin and eco-conscious use
Reef-Safe & Biodegradable – Free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other synthetic filters linked to coral bleaching. The formula is biodegradable, meaning it breaks down safely after use without accumulating in oceans or waterways
Plant-Based Emollients – Hydrate and soften the skin without clogging pores or creating a greasy barrier—keeping it breathable under gear or heat
Antioxidants (Vitamins A, C & E) – Help counter free radical damage from UV exposure and environmental stress
Botanical Soothers – Calm sun-stressed or overheated skin and reduce discomfort from sweat or wind

This isn’t just protection for you—it’s protection that respects where you train, race, and recover.

Before Sun Exposure: Apply generously to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before going outdoors.
Target Key Zones: Cover high-impact areas like the face, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, and anywhere exposed.
Let It Set: Allow a few minutes for the sunscreen to settle before dressing or putting on gear.
Reapply Regularly: Every 2 hours, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying.
Daily Use Recommended: Even on cloudy days or early mornings—UV damage begins before it feels hot.

Pro Tip: Use even on cloudy days or early mornings—UV damage starts before the heat does.

Every day, all year round – UV damage happens even on cloudy, cool, or windy days.
Before outdoor activity – Apply 15 minutes before heading out for a run, hike, cycle, or training session.
During prolonged exposure – Reapply every 2 hours when out in direct sunlight.
After sweating or toweling off – Reapply immediately to maintain protection, especially post-workout.
Under gear or clothing – Ideal for exposed areas where friction meets sun (e.g., neck, shoulders, arms).

Outdoor runners, cyclists, and hikers – anyone exposed to the sun while in motion
Athletes training in heat, sweat, or friction-heavy environments
People with sensitive skin – it’s mineral-based and non-comedogenic
Those needing non-sting protection around eyes, ears, and high-sweat zones
