SWOX Sunscreen Lotion with Mineral Filters SPF 30

Sports Sunscreen SPF 30 with Mineral and Water-Resistant Filters

SWOX Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is a sports sunscreen for full-body protection during sports, water activities, and everyday life in the sun. It combines mineral titanium filters with modern water-resistant UVA and UVB filters, providing broad-spectrum protection (PA ++++, PPD > 16) even in demanding conditions.

The formula absorbs quickly, leaves no white residue, and won't sting your eyes – which is essential for all sports where sweat or water washes the sunscreen into your eyes. The cream is non-greasy, long-lasting, and highly water-resistant, staying on the skin even after hours of activity.

Vitamin E (antioxidant) and provitamin B5 add extra skincare benefits, fighting free radicals and restoring hydration and elasticity. Free from perfumes, parabens, and oxybenzone – dermatologically considered and reef-safe.

The cream is suitable for moderate conditions and works as daily body protection for sports, the beach, and the city. Available in 50 ml for travel and 150 ml for extended use.

Who Is SWOX Sunscreen SPF 30 For?

SWOX Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is designed for those who want reliable body protection for everyday activities in the sun – without a greasy feel and without stinging eyes.

We recommend it for:

• water sports athletes (SUP, surf, kite, wing foil, swimming) for all water sessions
• cyclists, runners, and hikers who sweat heavily during sport
• beach lovers and summer holidays in the Mediterranean
• those with darker skin types who don't need SPF 50
• everyday use – on the way to the office, afternoon walks, or cycling through the city

Comparison: SWOX SPF 30 vs SPF 50 vs 100% Mineral SPF 50

SWOX SPF 30 is a sports sunscreen with mineral and water-resistant filters for moderate conditions and everyday use. SPF 50 is recommended for more demanding conditions – southern destinations, high altitudes, longer water sessions, and lighter skin types; texture and skin feel remain the same, only the protection factor differs. SPF 50 is also the right choice for surfing in the tropics, where the sun is extremely strong. 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 (150 ml) is a fully mineral and organic formula recommended for very sensitive skin, atopic skin, and health-sensitive users, with a slightly thicker texture due to its exclusively mineral filters.

Composition and How It Works

SWOX Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is based on a hybrid protective formula – a combination of mineral titanium dioxide and modern water-resistant UVA/UVB filters. This approach allows for a lighter texture than 100% mineral creams while maintaining the high durability and water resistance characteristic of SWOX sports sunscreens.

Mineral titanium dioxide acts as a physical barrier, reflecting a portion of UV rays immediately upon application. Modern UVA/UVB filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, and others) are among the latest EU-approved UV filters and complement protection across the UVA and UVB spectrum. The result is a cream that absorbs quickly, leaves no white residue, and withstands long water sessions.

The formula does not contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, perfumes, parabens, or alcohol. Dermatologically approved.

How to Use SWOX Sunscreen SPF 30

Apply the cream 15 minutes before sun exposure to dry skin in sufficient quantity (approx. 30 ml for an adult's whole body). Reapply every 2 hours and always after swimming or towel-drying.

Why Choose SWOX?

SWOX is a German brand founded in 2009 by surfers and snowboarders who experienced firsthand that most sunscreens aren't made for real sports conditions. They started developing formulas that last through long hours in the water, don't sting the eyes, and don't leave a greasy film on gear.

Today, SWOX sunscreens are used by some of the world's best surfers, kiters, beach volleyball players, and runners – Jordy Smith, Camilla Kemp, Charlotte van Berkum, Susi Mai, Alberto Rondina, Cinja Tillmann, Pauline Pichlmair, and others. All formulas are developed with dermatologists and scientists, manufactured in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Portugal), and packaged in eco-friendly bioplastic.

SWOX does not use oxybenzone or octinoxate – synthetic filters that demonstrably harm coral reefs. The brand's positioning is clear: sports sun protection with no compromise on ingredients.
