Slam is redefining men’s skincare with a bold mission: making sun protection something men actually enjoy using. With the slogan “Suntan Like a Man,” founder Avi Levinson and her team have created a unique product that combines effective sun care with a masculine edge, encouraging men to protect their skin without sacrificing their style.
The Story Behind Slam
Slam began as an answer to a common problem. During a family vacation, Avi noticed her brother-in-law—who, like many men, avoids sunscreen—refused to apply it due to its greasy feel and “tropical” smell. As Avi dug deeper, she learned that only about 14% of men wear sunscreen regularly, and most dislike the scent and oily texture. This insight led her to create Slam, a sun care product that addresses these barriers with a masculine fragrance and a lightweight feel, helping men protect their skin in a way that feels natural and comfortable.

What Sets Slam Apart?
Slam isn’t just another sunscreen—it’s a product crafted with men’s preferences in mind. Here’s what makes it different:
Bringing Humor and Fun to Skincare
Slam’s marketing is playful, creating a brand culture that feels approachable and fun. One of Slam’s standout campaigns is the “Calendar Contest,” which invites customers to submit their best outdoor photos with the product. Winners receive a spot in the Slam calendar and other prizes, making sun care a part of their lifestyle in a memorable way. The contest is a fun, lighthearted way to engage with Slam’s audience, bringing awareness to skin safety and sun protection.

Avi’s Mission: Making Sun Protection Effortless and Masculine
Slam’s mission goes beyond skincare; Avi wants to normalize sun protection as a routine for men. With Slam, she’s encouraging men to see skincare as part of their day rather than an afterthought. Her aim is to raise awareness around the importance of protecting skin from UV rays while delivering a product men feel confident using.
The Slam Advantage
Choosing Slam means more than just wearing sunscreen—it’s about embracing sun protection in a way that’s convenient, stylish, and sustainable. Here’s what makes Slam the ultimate choice:
With Slam, men can tan, stay protected, and ditch their excuses. Under the slogan “Suntan Like a Man,” Slam transforms men’s skincare, one bottle at a time.
