EltaMD UV Lip Balm Broad-Spectrum SPF 36 is a creamy lip sunscreen powered by 5% Hydromanil, which delivers moisture immediately and holds it there. The filters are 7.5% octinoxate with 7% zinc oxide, and the base is petrolatum, castor oil, olive oil and three natural waxes, so it protects and conditions in one step. It goes on smooth with no sticky finish.
Product Details
Lips have no oil glands of their own and a much thinner barrier than the rest of the face, which is why they chap first and burn easily. Hydromanil is the reason this one lasts: it hydrates on contact and keeps working rather than wearing off in twenty minutes. Beeswax, carnauba and candelilla wax give it the body to stay put, and petrolatum seals the moisture underneath. Fragrance-free, paraben-free and noncomedogenic, in a 0.28 oz stick. Want the same format at a higher SPF? UV Stick Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is SPF 50+ in a 1.3 oz stick. For everything else EltaMD makes, browse EltaMD skin care.
