Pelotan SPF30 Sunscreen

Pelotan 200ml Spray - Yellow Jersey Edition is a sunscreen in spray form. SPF 30 is transparent, absorbs quickly and is breathable - it does not hinder the skin's breathing. It was developed by athletes and tested in the laboratory. It stays on the skin for 8 hours, even when sweating.

Pelotan SPF 30 offers maximum protection from the sun while allowing peak performance (as it doesn't clog pores and allows the skin to release sweat normally) - meaning you can easily start outdoor activities for long periods of time without getting sunburnt take risk. Pelotan is a high performance sunscreen specifically designed to improve performance and maximize comfort. It allows athletes to spend more time outdoors by reducing the risk of skin damage and sunburn.

Many people forego sun protection when exercising or are satisfied with “normal” sunscreen. At Pelotan they have created a product that precisely addresses the needs of athletes: a very thin consistency that is quickly absorbed while allowing the skin to breathe and sweat efficiently. Pelotan SPF 30 does not clog pores, so your body can regulate temperature effectively and you can fully devote yourself to training.

Pelotan sun protection lotions are trusted by professional World Tour cyclists, Olympic and world champions, Ironman participants, marathon runners, mountain runners and many others who often train outdoors in all weathers. Skin damage is long-lasting, difficult (if not impossible) to reverse, but largely preventable.

Main features:

• Protection for up to 8 hours
• The thin consistency provides even coverage, absorbs quickly while allowing the skin to breathe and sweat efficiently
• Resistance to water and sweat, making them ideal for use in sports
• UVA and UVB protection, ensuring you are fully protected from the sun's harmful rays

What does sun protection factor (SPF) mean?

The sun protection factor (SPF) indicates how well a sunscreen protects against UVB radiation – the radiation that can cause sunburn. How long you can stay in the sun without risking sunburn also depends on many other factors: your skin type, hair and eye color, location, altitude above sea level, and many more.

With SPF 30, you can theoretically stay in the sun 30 times longer than without protection – if you apply it correctly. Don't skimp on the amount: The guideline for adults is about 30ml per application.

Please note: a higher SPF does not mean you should stay in the sun longer; it simply increases your protection against harmful radiation. A widespread misconception is that SPF 30 is twice as strong as SPF 15, although the following relationships actually apply:

• SPF 15 blocks approximately 93% of UVB radiation

• SPF 30 approximately 97%

• SPF 50 approximately 98%

What are UVA and UVB rays?

The sun emits two types of UV rays:

• UVB rays are shorter-wave and penetrate less deeply into the skin, but can cause sunburn and damage the DNA of skin cells.

• UVA rays are longer-wave and penetrate deeper into the skin, which can promote skin aging and contribute to the development of skin cancer (e.g., melanoma).

Good sun protection – like Pelotan – provides comprehensive protection, i.e., against both UVA and UVB rays. The UVA seal confirms the product's compliance with applicable EU standards.

Should I apply Pelotan even when it's cloudy?

Absolutely! Even when it's cloudy, up to 80% of UV radiation reaches your skin. Cooler weather conditions don't necessarily mean low UV levels, so your region's UV index is a better indicator.

I have allergies or skin problems – can I use Pelotan?

Pelotan is dermatologically tested and avoids known allergens wherever possible. However, skin conditions or allergies vary from individual to individual – if in doubt, always consult your doctor. At the first sign of redness or itching, you should stop using it immediately. Ideally, you should do a 24-hour patch test before first use.

Will Pelotan stain my clothes?

No – unlike many other sunscreens, Pelotan doesn't leave yellow stains on your clothes. However, we recommend waiting until the sunscreen has completely absorbed after application before slipping into your favorite jersey. Marginal gains, not terminal stains.

Is Pelotan tested on animals?

No – Pelotan is not tested on animals. It is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Can I use Pelotan on my face?

Yes – Pelotan is suitable for the entire body, including your face.
