Waxhead Zinc Oxide Lip Balm Sunscreen
High-performance sunscreen lip balm made from just six food-grade ingredients, including 10% non-nano zinc oxide. Designed for daily defense against sun, wind, salt, and cold, built tough for surfers, runners, parents, and kids alike.
Why choose this lip sunscreen
- Mineral about SPF 20: 10% zinc oxide shields lips from UVA/UVB and blue light.
- 6 safe ingredients: All food-grade, non-toxic, and safe for kids.
- Long-lasting wear: Won’t melt off in the sun or wash away in water.
- Multi-use stick: Apply to lips, nose, cheeks, ears, cuticles—any dry or sun-exposed spots.
- Clean enough to eat: No petrochemicals, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance.
- Reef-safe + cruelty-free: Biodegradable formula made in the USA.
- Goes on thick: Visible layer helps you know it’s working, great for outdoor kids and athletes.
What you’ll notice
Day 1 – Lips feel coated and protected, not waxy or greasy. Balm stays put during outdoor activity.
Day 7 – Less dryness and irritation in sun or wind. You start applying to cheeks and nose too.
Day 30 – Cracked lips are gone. Product becomes part of your daily pack, hike, or beach kit.
How to apply
- Dot balm onto lips and rub in to melt and spread.
- Use sparingly—product is concentrated and dense.
- Rub in to reduce white tint (a visual cue that zinc is working).
- Reapply every 2 hours, or more often when eating, wiping, or swimming.

Frequently asked questions
Does it leave a white tint?
Yes. That’s how zinc oxide protects—it forms a physical barrier. You can rub it in to blend, but some tint remains to confirm coverage.
Is it safe for babies and toddlers?
Absolutely. All ingredients are edible-grade and safe for sensitive skin.
How long does it last?
Depends on usage. A stick usually lasts 4–6 weeks with daily use. Reapply after water, meals, or heavy wiping.
Is it water-resistant?
Yes. It’s thick and stays on during surf sessions, long runs, or snowboarding. Reapply as needed.
What makes it different from drugstore SPF chapsticks?
No chemical filters, fragrances, or preservatives. Built for function, not gloss. Safe enough to eat, tough enough to trust.
Is this lip balm vegan?
No. It contains lanolin and beeswax. However, it’s cruelty-free and ethically sourced.
Will it melt?
Not easily. Store below 85°F. If gritty, warm gently in your hands. If soft, chill it briefly.
