Sunproof Intensive Lip Balm SPF 24

Is the SPF in this lip balm physical or chemical? / Is it reef-safe?

The Sunproof SPF Lip Balm uses both physical and chemical sunscreens to keep your lips protected and coral reefs 100% safe! It’s formulated with Avobenzone, Homosalate and Octisalate, which provide protection of SPF 24 against UVA and UVB rays without the dryness or white cast found in other SPF lip balms. 

Is this the same/a similar formula to your Liquid Balm Lip Treatment?

The Sunproof Intensive Lip Balm SPF 24 is a new, cushiony lip balm formula that provides many of the same skin-loving benefits as the Liquid Balm Lip Treatment while also protecting the delicate skin on your lips from the damaging effects of UV rays. We love using the Sunproof SPF Lip Balm during the day and anytime you are exposed to the sun, and using the Liquid Balm Lip Treatment as a super hydrating overnight treatment. Both are incredibly nourishing and lock moisture into the lips. Together, they make the perfect lip care duo!

How often should I reapply to get the most out of the SPF protection?

Great question! We recommend applying Sunproof SPF Lip Balm generously to lips at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying every 2 hours for the best protection. 

Is this lip balm waterproof / Will it come off while swimming?
The Sunproof Intensive Lip Balm SPF 24 is budge-proof and slip-proof without feeling sticky or waxy, so its cushiony barrier of hydration and SPF protection will stay in place throughout your daily outdoor activities! We recommend reapplying after swimming for the best SPF protection.

Does this SPF lip balm have a white/any cast to it?

Not at all! We wanted to create a lip balm with SPF protection that was inclusive of all skin tones, so we formulated the Sunproof SPF Lip Balm with Avobenzone, Homosalate and Octisalate, which provide SPF 24 protection against UV rays and a transparent, velvety finish without the white cast found in other SPF products. 

Can I wear this lip balm under lipstick/under makeup?

Yes! We recommend applying a light layer of Sunproof SPF Lip Balm under your lip color for line-smoothing moisture + SPF protection. We recommend pairing it with the Lip Mate for protection and a pop of color. 

Does the Fresh Mint version have any tingling sensation?

Not at all! The Fresh Mint Sunproof SPF Lip Balm is infused with light, natural mint extracts and won’t cause any tingling sensation on the lips. It simply adds a refreshing touch to your lip care routine! 

Since the Sunproof Intensive Lip Balm has sunscreen in it, can I use this day + night? 

This is a great question! You can totally use the Sunproof Intensive Lip Balm SPF 24 at night. The sunscreen benefits will only be effective while the sun’s out, but the moisturizing benefits will be effective at all times! It contains Youth B5 Complex that features a combination of sodium hyaluronate  + vitamin B5 to plump, hydrate and replenish moisture to your lips!

Is this a glossy finish? What is the texture?
The Sunproof SPF Lip Balm will wrap your lips in cushiony moisture without ever feeling waxy! It a non-glossy, non-sticky, non-waxy formula that doesn’t budge or slip.  The formula is infused with antioxidant-dense natural emollients, which work to soothe and repair dryness while also protecting the delicate skin on your lips from damage!

How long will this last before needing to purchase another?

With daily use, the Sunproof SPF Lip Balm will last 3 months.
