The Importance of Portability in Sports Sunscreen

The inadequate use of sunscreen among outdoor athletes has been strongly associated with a high prevalence of skin conditions, ranging from acute sunburn to long-term dermatological complications, including skin cancer.

Numerous studies highlight this critical issue but often lack practical solutions to address the barriers faced by this community.

A 2020 study published in PubMed identified several reasons why athletes refrain from using sunscreen. These include perceptions of inconvenience, unpleasant odors, concerns about environmental impact, irritation from sunscreen migrating into the eyes, a lack of awareness regarding UV-related risks, difficulty in application, and dissatisfaction with the greasy texture of many formulations. These barriers significantly hinder sunscreen adoption despite the availability of guidelines emphasizing its importance.

While many of these issues have been addressed through product innovation, awareness and accessibility remain challenges.

At SportStick, we aim to bridge this gap by offering a comprehensive solution tailored specifically for outdoor athletes.

Our natural sunscreeen not only mitigates the common concerns cited in the research—such as ease of application, texture, and portability—but is also designed ergonomically to ensure convenience.

By emphasizing portability, SportStick empowers outdoor sports lovers to carry and apply sunscreen effortlessly, reducing the risk of sun-related skin damage.

Through this approach, we seek to enhance sunscreen adherence among outdoor sports enthusiasts, addressing both practical and behavioral barriers to sun protection.
