Lips have no sebaceous glands and almost no melanin, which makes them the least protected skin on the face and the easiest to burn. Most people never put SPF on them.
This is a balm stick with mineral SPF 15 from zinc oxide, so it protects without the waxy chemical-filter taste that puts people off lip sunscreen.
Who it suits
Anyone outdoors, in any season. Snow reflects UV as effectively as water, so a winter walk along the lake does more damage to your lips than most people assume.
What is in it, and why
- Zinc oxide — natural mineral SPF protection
- Rosehip oil — essential fatty acids, vitamins C and E and beta-carotene; improves moisture, tone and texture
- Organic extra virgin olive oil — vitamins A and E; tones, repairs and refreshes dry lips
- Comfrey — emollient antioxidant; supplies vitamin E and improves elasticity
- Lavender — rejuvenates the look of skin
- Yarrow — nutrient-rich; moisturising
How to use it
Apply before going outside and reapply through the day — lip products wear off faster than anything else you put on, through eating, drinking and talking.
What to pair it with
For overnight repair without SPF, use the Citrus Lip Balm. Browse Eye & Lip Care, Mineral Sun Care and Body & Hand Care.
