FAQs
Q: Where is 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen made?
A: Sun Blessed Skin have partnered with an American manufacturer, Chemolee, based in Dallas, Texas, to create the formula and produce 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen.
Q: Does 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen contain Oxybenzone or Octinoxate?
A: Firstly, lets understand a little more about the two O’s. Oxybenzone and Octinoxate are a category of UV-absorbers and part of the benzophenone family. These chemicals are used in 97% of sunscreens and 70% of cosmetics on the market as UV-filters. In other words, most products seating on your bathroom shelf may contain oxybenzone (aka benzophenone-3) and/or octinoxate.
Sun Blessed Skin purposely decided against using Oxybenzone and Octinoxate in our product for two reasons:
The first was to ensure our product did not offer any health risk to our customers as some environmental and health group studies have shown oxybenzone having the potential to cause skin allergies and other ailments.
The second reason was to actively participate in the prevention of damaging our planet through the destruction of coral reefs. Laboratory testing showed that exposure to oxybenzone & octinoxate can inhibit and alter the growth of baby corals, is toxic to seven coral species and is likely to induce coral bleaching in the wild.
Q: Where can I buy 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen?

Q: Is 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen water resistant?
A: Our 1st Tee Golf Sunscreen has been tested and approved for 40min water resistance. This means if you have the unfortunate occurrence during your round of golf to get caught in the rain or wash areas where you have applied the sunscreen, you are still protected for the next 40 min. After this time, you should apply more sunscreen.
Q: Do people with a darker skin tone need to use sunscreen?
A: People with darker complexions still face a real risk from the sun, many dermatologists say, including a higher risk of death if they do get melanoma. Those same experts stress everyone should wear sunscreen to protect against forms of skin cancer and other harmful effects. “The risk is less.
Q. Should I wear sunscreen every time I play golf?
A. Yes, you should absolutely wear sunscreen every round of golf you play. Studies have shown that golfers are in the highest risk category for skin cancer as they spend 4+ hours in the sun for each round they play. Health regulators recommend a SPF30+ sunscreen be applied for any daily routine that involves spending more than 10 minutes outdoors, regardless of weather. So even if you are practicing your golf, you need to be protected. Making sunscreen application a part of your golf routine helps increase your chances of healthier, non sun-damaged skin over the long term.
