About KINeSYS Sunscreen
- SPF 30 and SPF 50 spray sunscreen, fragrance free
- Pro Sport mineral sunscreen stick and lip balm
- Multi-pack and travel bundles
- Polarized sunglasses and other accessories
KINeSYS is a sunscreen brand aimed at people who spend their time active outdoors: runners, pickleball players, hikers and parents getting children ready for the beach. The idea for the brand dates from 1995 in Vancouver, Canada, and the site says it was close to closing before Wade and Lisa Heggie took it on as a small family-owned business. This storefront serves the United States and says its products are now made in the USA.
The product focus is practical sun protection that is easy to apply. The core range is spray sunscreen in SPF 30 and SPF 50, fragrance free, in 1oz and 4oz sizes, with a mango-scented option. A Pro Sport range adds a clear mineral sunscreen stick and a lip balm. The store describes its SPF 50 Fragrance Free spray as the first Informed Sport certified sunscreen and lists editorial awards such as Runner's World Editors' Choice.
Beyond sunscreen the shop sells accessories, including polarized sunglasses priced at $20, and a range of bundles: two-packs and four-packs of the 4oz spray, combo bundles, and travel bundles that pair a spray with a lip balm. The site also runs a blog, a Team KINeSYS page and a KINeSYS Champions program for its community. Orders from the USA over $85 ship free; below that a flat rate of $8.99 applies, and the brand offers a 30-day promise on purchases from its website.

Free Gifts app on the storefront
The Free Gifts app script loads on the KINeSYS homepage and on its product pages (checked October 2026). No gift widget was visible in our capture, so no specific gift or threshold is described here. The store already sells a range of bundles, and offers change over time.
In their words · ★★★★★ · Shopify App Store
“As a smaller online business, we've been on the lookout for an app that aligns with our branding and offers a seamless, intuitive experience for our customers. The Free Gift App ticks all those boxes and more! The customization options are fantastic, allowing us to reflect our brand while offering compelling gift incentives to our shoppers. We did encounter a few minor issues initially, but Jocelyn and the tech team were absolutely amazing - super responsive and quick to resolve everything. Their support alone is a huge reason to recommend this app! We’re just starting our journey with it, but we’re already confident that it will play a key role in boosting our AOV and helping our business grow. Highly recommended!”
A small brand with a focused catalog can use a gift to move shoppers from a single product to a larger order. With free shipping at $85, a gift that rewards reaching that level gives the threshold a second job.
In general, stores like this use the Free Gifts BOGO & Upsell app to offer a gift item with a qualifying order, style the widget to match the storefront, and change the offer through the seasons. The store's review mentions customization options and reflecting its own branding as reasons it chose the app.
For a seasonal product, gifts can help smooth demand outside the summer months and encourage customers to stock up before a season. A gift that fits an active lifestyle, such as sunglasses or a lip balm, widens the shopper's view of the catalog. This is how such stores typically use the app, not a description of this store's settings. A store reviewing the app mentions branding and customization, which matter when the widget sits next to a distinct visual identity.
