SCAPE Athletic Sunblock Review and Giveaway!


I first learned about SCAPE sunblock through Meg's blog a few months ago. Having had her own skin melanoma scare (she's fine!), she shared how she found SCAPE and could tell it worked really well. I then read more rave reviews from pro-triathlete Charisa, then later through a few other fellow bloggers including SunSafetyBarbie. By then, I just HAD to try it out myself!

So Magg's gave me a Face Stick and Sunblock to try and Vineman was the perfect 'Lab' to test it. I used the Face Stick on my face (obviously), and lathered my arms, shoulders, neck, back, and legs with the sunblock lotion approx ~20 minutes before I put on my wet suit to start my race. 

The results: They both worked perfectly. I didn't get any extra color on my face or body. And this was after a wetsuit swim, ~3 hr bike ride, and half marathon. I was stoked.

I've been using the Face Stick and Sunblock for two weeks now and it's PERFECT for:


1. Anytime I go on an outdoor bike ride, run, or in the outdoor pool.
2. Putting on my kid's face before we go swimming in the afternoons! They love the feel and it smells like verbena or lemons, which is niiiice. And it's sooo easy for THEM to put it on
3. Putting on my son's chest/back on the days we swim and he doesn't want to wear a rash guard.


I also learned that Dr. Nic Martens, the scientist behind SCAPE, is the former brain child for the Neutrogena skin care. And I know I've read several 'Top Sunblock' Reviews in magazines, where Neutrogena was at the TOP.

A few more things about this product. The sunblock is UVA + UVB SPF 30+. In a rigorous scientific study, it was five times more effective than leading sport sunblock.
It is some serious sweat proof and water proof sunblock. Oh, and the lip balm is the bomb! UVA + UVB SPF 50+ with aloe, and vitamin E. Oh, and it feels super on the lips and has a sweet (not too sweet) taste. My new fave.

So, I felt inclined to reach out to SCAPE to see if I could share the SCAPE love. They said sure, and sent me some of their sunblock and lip balm to share. 
 
So, ya ready to try it out yourself? Here's your chance with this Giveaway for a Sunblock and Athlete Lip Balm!

I follow you through my RSS feed -- I'm a long time runner and new triathlete and love the blog! I've gone through a zillion bottles of Coppertone Sport (spf 50) because it's less greasy than anything else I've found. But I've learned that I can't put it on my forehead because it runs into my eyes. (So much for "sweatproof"!)

Thanks for the shout-out...I still use SCAPE every single day and I'm running low on it! It has saved me this summer when I've run in the direct sun and I haven't burned ONCE nor felt sun-dry at all. I'm thankful for this stuff and I'm not getting paid one cent to say this...it's incredible!
Ha, ha...thanks for keeping me out of the classroom. You ARE a good friend and you totally "GET" it!!

Right now I'm using Aeveno w/ helioplex on my face. It says its sweat proof but I guess not for me b/c it runs into my eyes. I'll have to buy some of this even if I don't win.

I've been using Banana Boat sunscreen for years, but it recently failed me in a sunburn and blister kind of way. So I need to find a new sunscreen soon - before summer comes to San Francisco.

I currently use whatever "sport" sunblock I can find at the drug store. It does OK, but I would LOVE to try SCAPE. Sounds like it really does a great job!

I sweat like a farm animal so I don't wear sunblock when I run/bike. If this stuff doesn't sweat off me, it won't sweat off anyone!

Scape and I are FB friends.

Right now I use Neutrogena for my face and some spray sunblock for the rest of my body. The spray sunblock probably isn't the best for me, but it's sooo convenient. Not the best reason to use it, I know!

I would LOVE to try scape. Bad but alot of times I avoid SB because I sweat so much and most of what I have tried just gets in my eyes or feels like it is blocking my pores.
I have tried Coppertone Sport in 50, Banana Boat Sport 30 in spray.
Unknown said…
Oh, and I will link this on my bloggy too!! :)

I bought that sunscreen for James at Vineman. ITS ROCKS!!! The best we've ever used. Would love to get some more. Right now we use ocean potion,, sure does smell good though.

I'm bad...I don't use anything for my outdoor workouts...but I run at 6am so it's not that bad...I should use something though, especially since my runs are going to be getting longer.

I use Coppertone Sport. And while it claims it won't run, I totally get the sunscreen in my eyes when I sweat a lot. Ouch.

I use banana boat for my body and nutrugena for my face. I'd love a more sports oriented brand by people who know athletes and what we need!
