The JASON Sunbrellas collection includes:

Sport Natural Sunblock SPF 45

Ideal for the active individual, whether hiking, playing or swimming, this non-greasy, oil-free, water- and sweat-resistant formula is ideal for hours of outdoor activity. With broad spectrum, long-lasting UVA/UVB protection, Sport Natural Sunblock SPF 45 helps protect skin from prolonged sun exposure which may lead to premature aging. It is also formulated with antioxidants from Acai Extract to help reduce oxidative stress that may cause free-radical damage.  (4 oz./$11.95 SRP)

Family Natural Sunblock SPF 45

The non-greasy, tear-free, water-resistant formula provides the broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection necessary for the whole family. Family Natural Sunblock SPF 45 helps protect skin from harmful free radical damage caused by the sun's ultra-violet rays and nurtures skin with enriched moisturizing Vitamin E, Shea Butter and antioxidant Green Tea Extract.  (4 oz./$11.95 SRP)

Facial Natural Sunblock SPF 20

An ultra sheer, hypoallergenic, oil-free formula absorbs easily to help protect skin from premature aging. Enriched with specially selected antioxidants, such as Grape Seed and Green Tea Extract, this lightweight, non-comedogenic formula is ideal for everyday use and should not clog pores.  Completely translucent and never chalky, this sunblock is recommended even under makeup because it will not change the shade of foundation.  (4.5 oz./$11.95 SRP)

Kids Natural Sunblock SPF 45

Specially formulated for your child's tender skin, this tear-free, water-resistant and hypoallergenic formula provides long-lasting solar defense — just for kids who are active outdoors under prolonged sun exposure. Infused with natural Chamomile and Calendula Extracts, it gently pampers your little one's sensitive skin while protecting skin from harsh elements. Now, your kids can run, play and enjoy the sun.  (4 oz./$11.95 SRP)

Mineral Based Natural Sunblock SPF 30

An all-mineral sun screen that is chemical and fragrance free, Mineral Based Natural Sunblock SPF 30 provides UVA and UVB protection and creates a natural barrier to protect skin against sun damage. The easy-to-rub in formula won't leave a white film on skin like most mineral sun screens do and is hypoallergenic making it ideal for sensitive skin. It is also safe for use on babies over six months of age.  (4 oz./$14.95 SRP)

Lip Balm SPF 25

This Lip Balm moisturizes lips with Shea Butter and Beeswax leaving them feeling smooth, hydrated and protected from damaging solar rays throughout the entire day. An irresistible creamy mint flavor produces an enticing aroma and a cooling sensation on lips. Great for kids, too.  (0.17 oz./$4.95 SRP)
