We've Got Answers

What Are the Benefits of Using a Lip Balm With SPF?

Most people don’t realize their lips can burn—until they do. And yeah, it’s a total bummer. Your lips are just as vulnerable to sun damage as the rest of your skin—maybe even more so since they don’t have melanin to protect them. Using a lip balm with SPF helps shield against UV rays, lowers your risk of sunburn, and keeps your lips from drying out in the sun. Bonus: it also helps fight long-term damage (like fine lines and discoloration) so your lips stay smooth, healthy, and beach-day ready.

What Is the Best Care for Lips?

The best lip care starts with keeping things simple but consistent. At night, gently exfoliate with a soft cloth or lip scrub to get rid of dry, flaky skin. Then, slather on a thick, hydrating balm or overnight lip mask—bonus points if it has ingredients like shea butter or hyaluronic acid. Try not to lick your lips during the day, and reapply balm as needed. A little nightly TLC goes a long way toward keeping your lips soft and happy.

Which SPF Is Best for Lip Balm?

SPF 30 or higher is the sweet spot for protecting your lips from the sun. Look for broad-spectrum protection to shield against both UVA rays (which age your skin) and UVB rays (which burn). Bonus points for tinted SPF lip balm—it gives your lips a subtle pop of color while keeping them safe. It’s sun care and style in one swipe, so you can face the day with confidence (and great lips).

Do SPF Lip Balms Actually Work?

They sure do! SPF lip balms are the ultimate sidekick for your lips—protecting them from UV rays while keeping them smooth and hydrated. Your lips are extra delicate (that thin skin doesn’t have its own sun shield), so they need a little extra care to fend off sunburn and damage. That’s where SPF lip balm steps in, acting as sunscreen and moisturizer all in one. The result? Lips that stay healthy, happy, and ready for whatever the sun has in store.

Reviews

I like this product very

"I like this product very well. It has no taste, which is good and it stays on my lips longer because it is a dryer application. I tried to order sun bum lip protection with 30 SPF that comes in a wood look case with the base being the color of the lipstick inside. I bought this in Florida and I live in Wisconsin and I am not able to find it in Wisconsin and not able to order online. I would appreciate anything that you have to say about that."

My lips are stoked

"I'm super stoked I found this product. My derm said that what I thought were perpetually dry lips was most likely sunburn (#dyk lips are more sensitive than the rest of the skin). Even after learning this, I continued to use a drugstore 15SPF on my lips for years, up until I found this SunBum lip balm at a local surf shop. Love that it contains no harmful ingredients as I use it all day everyday here in Florida (I do a lot of research on this topic). Another bonus - my hubby will only use lip care that doesn't have flavor. Plus, 30SPF for lips is not easy to find. Thank you for making this lip balm. I subscribed to make sure I never run out."

Q&A

do you have any that do not have a flavor
Hey Susan, this lip balm and our Signature Lip Balm are fragrance free :)
Does this have a zinc white color to your lips or is it clear?
Hi Holly, thanks for reaching out! When it comes to our Mineral Line, the active ingredient is zinc which can cause a whitish hue on most skin tones. However, it can blend pretty quickly. If you are looking for something that won't leave a white cast, feel free to check out our other SPF Lip Balms. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. xo, SB
Will this melt in the heat?
Hi Michelle, thanks so much for reaching out! This product can melt when exposed to higher temperatures. Some tricks that we use to avoid this are to keep our lip products in a cool or shaded place while we are out having fun! xo, SB
Where to buy, not online. Zip 34994
Hi Julie, thanks so much for reaching out! You can purchase this product directly from our website at hey@sunbum.com :) xo, SB
does this lip balm have that metallic, bitter taste like many spf lip balm?
Hi Audrey, thanks so much for reaching out! We don't think it has a metallic taste, but you can give it a try to see if you like it :) xo, SB
