Spooge has launched its new high-altitude, mineral sunscreen Face Shots. Infused with ceramides, this SPF was specifically designed for skiers, snowboarders and alpine thrill-seekers for all day protection against sun and snow.
According to Spooge, Face Shots is more than just sunscreen, offering broad spectrum SPF 30 face and body protection that hydrates, soothes and shields skin from the mountain elements. Dermatologist-developed and tested on skiers, this mineral formula claims to be able to stand up to snow, sweat and wind.
"We designed Face Shots to work as hard as the people who wear it," says Whitney Hovenic, M.D. Hovenic is a double board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of Spooge. "Most sunscreens aren't made for altitude, wind and cold weather. This one is. It's the mountain SPF that keeps your skin protected without compromising feel or finish and a reminder that SPF isn't just for summer—it's essential year-round."
Developed at elevation and powered by 22% zinc oxide, Face Shots is infused with a lineup of skin-first ingredients that go beyond protection:
- Ceramides to moisturize and shield
- Edelweiss extract to protect and soothe
- Raspberry seed oil to hydrate and provide antioxidant defense
- Vitamin E to calm and condition
Water-resistant for 80 minutes, Face Shots is reef-safe, vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens, phthalates and harsh chemicals. The lightweight formula blends into most skin tones and features a clean, fresh scent with no chalky mess or greasy residue.
An Olympian's Race to Protected Skin All-Season Long
Olympic skier Travis Ganong knows firsthand the importance of skin protection on the slopes. After being diagnosed with melanoma on his face, Travis teamed up with Spooge to raise awareness in the snow sports community, encouraging athletes to start using protection earlier.
"As a U.S. Ski Team alum and two-time Olympian, I've spent my life chasing winter—and at 37 I was diagnosed with melanoma on my cheek, a stark wake-up call," says Ganong. "That's why launching Face Shots with Spooge is so meaningful to me—it's about protecting the community I love. This sunscreen was designed with skiers and mountain people in mind, and I'm proud to help create something that makes it easier for all of us to enjoy the outdoors safely."
