Planet Sun Sunscreen?? (or another brand)
Quote | Reply
Each year I go through a bottle of this stuff, but looking at their website it seems like nothing is in stock. Are they still in business?

Any suggestions for other brands for good sunscreen for long days of biking/running?

They stopped selling the sunscreen early last year. When I asked the local companies on Oahu that sold their products they couldn't give me a good answer. Since I also couldn't get it I switched to Thinksport for my half and full Ironman races in Hawaii last year.

Blue Lizard is what we use for the kids - just ordered a bottle from Amazon for myself!

They are a bit more expensive in the US.

But P20 is the only stuff i rely on. Highly water resistant, so can put it on before swim and just get going.

I’ve tried almost all of them (Nuetrogena, Coppertone, Blue Lizard, No Ad, etc). My favorite is the Banna Boat Sport in the orange bottles. It doesn’t smell gross. Goes on easily and absorbs fast. Won’t break out your skin if you use it on your face and won’t run when you sweat.

The ultimate best are any number of the European formulas. If you travel to Europe or know someone who does, pick up some Daylong or Vichey sunscreens. They have way better UV filters than we do in the US. Which make for way better aesthetically pleasing formulas.

Have you tried Zealios?
I first saw them at IM Tahoe, and really liked how well it performed. Now, every time I see them at a race expo, I buy a new bottle of sun lotion and their after-swim shampoo. It goes on pretty thick, but holds up really well on those long races and training days.

+1 on Zealios. It works well for a long time and is very water and sweat resistant. It is a little thick going on, but will rub in after a few seconds. Has zinc oxide, if that matters to you.
