An anti-sun potion is an item obtained by killing Clawdia during The Beach events.

When applied, it boosts experience gained from all activities done in the Lumbridge Crater by 5% for 24 hours since applying it. The time runs regardless if the player is logged in or not. In addition, beach event activities (with the exception of catching raw tropical trout) receive a double-buff in the form of 5% bonus experience.

Reapplying the anti-sun potion doesn't increase the effectiveness of the experience boost; it only resets its duration. No status icon is visible for the boost. If reapplied before the 24 hours are over, there is a warning message that shows how long the current dose will last. One dose of the potion is lost once applied.

The 5% general experience bonus can be useful in cutting the cost and time of training. Any activity that would otherwise be done while bankstanding can be done on the beach for the bonus. The bonus stacks with other bonuses such as perfect juju potions and portable skilling stations, as well as experience-boosting sets. For example, while on the beach with anti-sun potion applied, a full botanist's outfit on, perfect juju herblore potion effect, and portable well bonus experience, one can achieve a 26% bonus to Herblore experience gained.

The anti-sun potion was tradeable during the Summer Beach Party (2015) but was made untradeable when the event ended, with its price at 735 coins down from its initial price of 15,000 coins. Following the 2016 party, any existing anti-sun potions were removed on 3 October 2016. Subsequent removals have occurred on 1 October 2018, 7 August 2022, 2 July 2023, 30 July 2024, and 4 August 2015. In 2022 and 2023 an unknown amount of oddments were given for each removed anti-sun potion; in 2024 and 2025 no oddments were given.

• While applying the cream states that you "now feel more able to cope with the heat of the beach", it doesn't actually have any impact on heat gain.
