The Bottom Line

Don't want a sunburn, swimmers? Looking for good protection from the sun while you are outdoors swimming, running, cycling, or just relaxing by the pool? Kinesys offers sunscreen products designed for athletes. They are easy to put on, they stay on, and they work. Oil-free, alcohol-free, water-resistant, sweat resistant, and available in SPF's from 15 to 30+, in spray-on, stick, and lotion, Kinesys sunscreens also lets your skin breath and sweat. This is a great product for swimmers, triathletes, and other athletes that need protection from the sun. I am going to keep using it.

Pros

  • Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection that's easy to apply - and it works
  • Oil-free, alcohol-free, PABA-free, water and sweat resistant
  • Hypoallergenic and Noncomedogenic

Cons

  • Spray applicator is not as precise as using lotion - could be wasteful
  • Would be great to have a smaller stick applicator (like a lip balm tube)

Description

  • Kinesys sunscreen spray was easy to apply and dried quickly. Lotion was no problem, either, but washed our hands afterwards.
  • Not sticky or smelly - none of us noticed we had it on our skin, but we noticed we did not get a sunburn.
  • Sun Protection Stick worked well, too - just wish it was a slightly smaller size container.

Guide Review - Kinesys Sunscreen for Swimmers, Triathletes, Kid and Adult Athletes

A group of swimmers (including me) tested several different Kinesys sunscreen products at an all-day ocean swim event. We were outside most of the time, from 7:30am until 4:00pm, and it was a great sunny day at the beach.

Each of us swam at least 20-minutes, some of us as long as 40-minutes. We used the sunscreen sprays, lotions, and sticks as directed and none of us had any sun-related problems.

Kinesys sunscreen was easy to put on, did not make us feel coated in gunk, and did not run into our eyes or get into our goggles. This is good stuff.
