Water Resistant Sunscreen
Stay Protected, Even in Water
Our water-resistant formula offers up to 80 minutes of protection whilst swimming or sweating. It forms a lightweight barrier on the skin’s surface to help prevent the sunscreen from rinsing off, so you stay covered longer without constant reapplying.
With skin-loving ingredients like vitamins E and C, it nourishes while it protects, helping to defend against UV damage and signs of premature aging. Plus, our formulas are free from oxybenzone and octinoxate, aligning with Hawaii Act 104 standards.
So go ahead, take a dip, dive in, and enjoy your time outside knowing your sun care won’t wash away with the waves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “water-resistant” sunscreen mean?
Water-resistant sunscreen maintains its SPF protection after exposure to water or sweat for a specified period, typically 40 or 80 minutes. PoolBar’s body SPFs are water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making them ideal for swimming, workouts, or sunny days.
Can I swim with water-resistant sunscreen on?
Yes, our water-resistant mineral sunscreens are designed to stay effective for up to 80 minutes in water. After swimming, towel-drying, or excessive sweating, it’s important to reapply to stay protected.
Do I still need to reapply water-resistant sunscreen?
For best protection, reapply at least every 2 hours, and always after swimming, sweating, or drying off with a towel.
Is water-resistance better for beach days?
A water-resistant formula ensures your SPF stays put while you’re active, in and out of water, or lounging under the sun. It helps keep your skin protected during all your summer plans.
Will the sunscreen feel greasy or heavy?
Our range is designed to feel lightweight with a smooth, non-greasy finish, plus a subtle coconut and vanilla scent for that holiday vibe.
Should I wear sunscreen every day, even if I’m indoors or not in direct sunlight?
Yes, wearing sunscreen daily is one of the most important habits for long-term skin health. Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds, so sun protection is essential every day. UV rays can still reach your skin through windows, and blue light from screens may contribute to premature aging. Using a daily SPF helps protect your skin from these everyday exposures, not just beach days.
Can I use water-resistant sunscreen on my face?
We have a dedicated face SPF you can use that also has 80 minutes water resistance. Just avoid contact with the eyes and reapply when necessary.
