The SolRX Active Zinc formula is the choice of professional athletes for protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. It still uses the WATERBLOCKTM technology as the SolRX Original range but the added benefit of Active Zinc which forms a physical barrier that reflects & scatters UV waves. THE ULTIMATE SPORTS SUNSCREEN SolRX Sunscreen was originally developed for, and tested with, athletes competing in the gruelling IRONMAN World Championships held in Hawaii. Clearly the ultimate test for any sports sunscreen. SolRX sunscreen had to last a minimum of 8 hours and protect athletes from eight times the dose of UV light that can cause sunburn. It also needed to be water resistant for a 2.4 mile swim and sweat-resistant for both a 112 mile cycle and a marathon. SolRX successfully met these rigorous demands and as a result is the preferred sunscreen of some of the world's most extreme athletes. WATER & SWEAT RESISTANT SolRX developed the unique WATERBLOCK system which ensures a high level of performance even during wet activity. In the tubethe product is inactive but on application the ingredient structure changes as part of it evaporates into the air allowing SolRX to bond to your skin. This creates a water and sweat proof barrier (so no running into your eyes) whilst not clogging the pores thus allowing the skin to breathe. LONG LASTING FORMULA SolRX has been rigorously tested in extreme conditions to ensureit will keep you protected from the Sun whatever your activity. When AMA Testing Labs in the USA were asked to prove the sun protection performance of SolRX they found that even after 8 hours of wet testing, it still maintained protection above its advertised SPF (that's why we have a + after the SPF factor on our products).

This water/sweat resistant suncream really works well
I have been really impressed. It rubs in really easily, and quickly and doesn't leave an oily sticky residue. I have very fair skin that burns really easily and I go on all day hikes. In really hot weather when I'm really sweating this carries on protection and I have no sunburn at the end of the day. If I forget to put on suncream in the morning and I have to I apply when the sun makes an appearance, even though I have built up a sweat, it goes on a very easily and protects me for the rest of the day.Frankly, I can't recommend it enough :)

Beats all others I've used! Worth the price tag.
Wet impressed with this - worth the price. I go kiteboarding in the hot climates of Philippines and Sri Lanka, and this is the best product I've found over the last 3 years. I have pale skin and burn easily. I did not burn using this despite been on the water for over an hour at the hottest time of day and lots of crashes... the cream stayed and did its job. I always allow 10-15 mins after application before heading out of the shade. It is pricey but you don't need too much. It comes out thick but isn't like some cheaper creams that are more akin to plater. Rubs on easily but does leave some residue I found. Personally I don't care about that, as long as it offers long lasting sun protection - which it certainly did.

Excellent for sensitive skin
I suffer with Rosacea and used this whilst on a biking holiday in Canada. The weather was very hot and most days around 30 degrees. This sunscreen is amazing, it stopped me from burning and never irratated my skin which was prone to flare ups. Non greasy and although slightly white this was o.k, it sits on the skin and just blocks the sun rather than absorb into the skin. If you suffer from a similar condition or just react from normal sunscreens I would 100% recommend this product, this will be my go to sunscreen from now on.

Great sunscreen, especially for kids
Very smooth and easy to apply despite being a thick cream. Rubs in well and doesn't seem to leave much of a visible white residue. Excellent waterproof formulation despite hours in and out of the pool. Is extremely sweat resistant (mountain walks in 25 degree plus heat) and no signs of any burning.As it's water and sweat proof we put it on the kids first thing and didn't have to worry about them burning despite being outside all day.A great product!

Avoid the burn
Good replacement for gator sunscreen which now costs £40+ just the same in application. Delivery came quick.

Great sunscreen, keeps the evil rays at bay...
used it whilst kitesurfing and it has heavy resistance from being washed off by the sea. I used it for many hours while out on the water. Will buy again.

The best protection for prolonged periods in the water
Surfed for 3+ hours with this sun block during the recent summer heat wave. Not a hint of sunburn anywhere I had applied the sun block. Will always use this from now on.
