Lip Balm FAQs
Does this lip sunscreen leave a white cast?
Yes—and that’s how you know it’s working. Zinc oxide sits on the skin to block UV. No cast = no real protection.
What’s the SPF rating?
SPF 18–20 based on zinc content. It hasn’t been FDA-labeled yet, but it performs like a champ in the field.
When does it expire?
Technically in 3 years, but zinc never expires. If the balm looks or smells off, let us know—we’ll replace it.
Is it vegan?
No, contains beeswax and lanolin. But it’s cruelty-free, and every ingredient is ethically sourced.
Why is it more expensive than drugstore brands?
Because it uses premium, edible-grade ingredients and USA manufacturing. We don’t do shortcuts. Here’s why.
Safe for kids and sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Designed for maximum safety—no harsh preservatives, fragrances, or synthetics.
Will it stay on during water sports?
Yes. This Zinc Oxide Lip Balm is thick and stubborn (in the best way). It stays put through surf, sweat, and snow.
How often should I reapply?
Every 2 hours—or more often if you’re swimming, eating, or wiping your lips.
Is the peppermint flavor natural?
Yes. 100% USDA organic peppermint essential oil. Clean and refreshing.
Is it eco-friendly?
It’s beyond eco-friendly—our lip balm is reef-safe, biodegradable, and always toxin-free.
What makes it better than other lip balms?
It’s made for extreme use—not just for show. This is Sunscreen for Lips with Zinc Oxide Lip Balm works when conditions get rough.
Is it safe to ingest?
We don’t recommend snacking on it, but it’s made from food-grade ingredients. If a toddler licks it, you’re fine.
Who should use this?
Anyone who needs high-performance lip protection, cares about ingredients, and refuses to settle for petroleum junk.
How to Apply Lip Sunscreen
This lip sunscreen is dense by design. It creates a protective barrier, not just a cosmetic glaze. Rub it in gently for full coverage.
Step 1: Dot balm onto lips in sections
Put lip balm in small dots on sections of the lips.
Step 2: Spread out over one area at a time
Once a section is dotted, rub lips together and thin out into an almost invisible layer across your skin.
Step 3: Rub in to reduce whiteness
Our sunscreen will not fully absorb into the skin like chemical sunscreens, even though it can appear transparent after rubbing.
Reapply every 2 hours, or more often if you're active, eating, or in the water.
Bonus: Use it overnight to heal dry, cracked lips by morning.
