A sports sunscreen brief should translate sweat, movement, friction, heat and reapplication into measurable attributes and supportable claims.
Why this matters in a sunscreen project
A responsible brief aligns performance, user experience, manufacturing, packaging, documentation and market requirements. Commercial statements should only be finalised when the evidence matches the finished product.
Sweat differs from water
Sweat composition, flow, temperature and friction differ from immersion. Evidence must match the wording used.
Migration around the eyes
For facial products, formula movement can affect comfort. Use and tolerance assessment should include the eye area when relevant.
Friction and equipment
Towels, clothing, helmets and straps can remove film. Application and reapplication instructions must be realistic.
Portable formats
Pumps, sticks, tubes and sprays offer different benefits. Dose, closure and safety are assessed with the formula.

Frequently asked questions
Does water resistant mean sweat resistant?
Not necessarily. Evidence should correspond to each claim.
Can the finish be completely invisible?
It can be a target, but must be evaluated across skin tones and use amounts.
Is a stick always best for sport?
It may be convenient, but coverage, friction and dose still require assessment.
