Justin Thomas’ skincare brand

Thomas was diagnosed with melanoma about four years ago. In addition, on September 12, 2019, the two-time major champion underwent surgery to remove a melanoma-bearing mole on his left leg. The World No. 13 made the entire golf world aware of this procedure by posting about it on social media. Then, over three years later, JT made the decision to start his own skin care company, WearSPF, in an effort to combat the skin cancer issues. He aimed to help out golfers who spend hours in the sun, putting their skin at risk, and also raise awareness among masses regarding the harmful affects of long term skin exposure.

For this significant project, the skincare company released six items. Sunscreen Spray, Sport Stick, Mineral Sunscreen, Essential Sunscreen, Lip Balm, and After Sun Cleanser, all included in the set. The skincare company also collaborates with the Justin Thomas Foundation. Additionally, a portion of WearSPF’s profits from this relationship go straight to the golfer’s foundation.
