5 Reasons Freaks of Nature is the best SPF for runners
Go the extra 100 miles.
Why Freaks of Nature is the best SPF for sprints, long distance, trails, pavement, and everything in between.
You should run. Your SPF shouldn’t. Sweat causes most SPF to run which burns the skin or eyes. Not Freaks of Nature. Running your weekend 10 miler while prepping for your next marathon? Freaks of Nature can take it. With 80 minute water resistance, we can keep you protected for those longer runs. Training for an ultra? Easy. Freaks of Nature is compact enough to store in your kit for easy applications when you’re out for hours on end. Sweat harder. SPF50 can take it. And so can you.
Everyday, we’re constantly exposed to toxic chemicals. As runners, we face the UV rays (even in the winter!), humid air causing breakouts or dry weather that chafes our skin. Most sunscreens rely on chemical filters, but not Freaks of Nature! World Champion Pro Surfer Kelly Slater’s SPF is formulated to hydrate your skin but not clog your pores–working for all skin types and environments. Our proprietary formulation ensures that the skin barrier is supported rather than compromised, making FON ideal for sensitive skin and daily use.

While mineral sunscreens are safer, they can leave you looking like a ghost and struggle with long-lasting protection when up against sweat and water. Our team of dermatologists worked hard to create a formula you actually wanted to wear. No white cast. No weird smell. No sticky handfeel. Plus, it’s super breathable so your skin doesn’t feel like it’s suffocating during a long run. Just 100% mineral broad spectrum protection.
While wearing SPF is the first step in protecting your skin, Freaks of Nature goes beyond just protection to truly strengthen your largest organ (that’s your skin!). How? The skin microbiome–It’s what shields you from toxins, helps your immune system, and keeps you protected. But over time, the skin microbiome can become easily damaged. As runners, our exposure to harsh weather conditions in addition to pollution and sweat puts our skin microbiome more at risk. We partnered with leading dermatologists to develop SPF that protects your skin while repairing your skin microbiome and barrier. The result? Protected, hydrated, clearer skin, wherever you are.
