High altitude. UV intensity increases 4-5% for every 1000' of elevation. At 10,000' (like skiing in Breckenridge CO), you can be exposed to 50% more UV. Addreflection off snow and you've got serious protection needs. Broad Spectrum (UVA& UBV) protection helps prevent long-term sun damage

Active Durability. With added UV intensity, mountain sports athletes need sunscreen formulations that won't fade in harsh conditions. Chemical sunscreens expire after UV exposure; mineral oxide sunscreens do not. Careful choice of sunscreen active ingredients is essential.

High and Dry. Higher elevations have very dry air. Your skin needs extra protection against moisture loss.

Sweat Resistance. Running around the mountains can work up a heck of a sweat, even in the winter. If your sunscreen melts like snow in the Mojave you've got eye-sting and sunburn.

Altitude Mountain Sport Sunscreen

For every 1,000 feet of elevation, UV intensity increases a whopping 4 to 5%. So the last thing you need at altitude is an ordinary, sea level sunscreen. That's why Sol Altitude uses UV scattering mineral oxides plus emulsion-loc technology that keeps the sunscreen on your skin and out of your eyes. And because the air gets drier the higher you go, Sol Altitude helps prevent skin dryness with a gentle moisture barrier. All of which makes for a non-greasy, UVA/UVB protecting lotion that's unscented and easy on the face. Get some sun, but first get some Sol. Extra gentle, formulated for mountain sports.
