SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm - 0.15 oz Stick

This is my favorite spf lip protectant. For reference, I have tried the Clinique sun stick, Colorescience spf stick, Colorescience spf lip gloss, Jane Iredale spf lip balm, Aquaphor spf lip balm, & Bert's Bees. What I like about this particular SunBum is: It does what it's supposed to (protect from sunburn); doesn't dry out my lips; goes on smooth/creamy; wisps of hair won't drag it across your face; long-lasting; SPF30 (rather than 15); non-toxic. This does have a white cast since it's a zinc-based product; that's just how it's going to be with zinc sunblock. However, the white cast does seem to mellow out after a little. If the color really bothers you, the product is creamy enough where you could easily apply a bit of lipstick or lip liner on top to give it a color tint. No idea if that affects the spf, but aesthetically it could easily be done. (Would be great if SunBum developed a tinted option. They have a gloss, but glosses suck at a windy beach, etc). Overall, a really solid non-toxic spf product.

the best chopstick with sunscreen.. does not have that nasty sunscreen taste like most chopsticks do. This will literally heal chapped lips overnight.

I purchased this specifically for the Zinc/ mineral based SPF factor. There are not a lot of great options for a sun BLOCK lip balm. This is about the highest SPF I could find, in a tube/stick applicator. We use 70 and 50 alternatively and apply often for our bodies and face, but we needed an extra layer for the lips. (They really are very delicate tissues) We like the texture, I didn't notice a flavor or odor, so I guess that's good right? I did not see any white cast to it and honestly I would not care if it did, I just want a sun block for my lips while we are poolside. It worked well. A slight tingly feeling to my lips for the first 30 seconds when applying it, but it did not sting or irritate my skin/lips. We went 4 days of poolside lounging and swimming with about 5-6 hours a day at the pool. We were in and out of the shade, in and out of the water, at at very dry desert Nevada 104° sunny location. We reapplied about every 1.5 - 2 hours, or if we felt like we needed it after eating or drinking something. We did not burn nor peel, our lips were soft and great. I will keep using it and will likely purchase again, when needed. It's a good brand. Aside from straight up old fashioned white or colored lifeguard zinc sticks, this is a less "clown like makeup" option.

This chapstick feels great on my lips, nice smooth texture, no unpleasant taste. It definitely protects my lips from the sun. The only downside is that it has a white tint to it on my lips; I wish it were completely sheer.

Works well! Doesn’t leave white cast or smell icky like some do. Overall I like it and have repurchased!

This lip balm was recommended by my surgeon to protect my lip from uv rays. Surprisingly, it does not have that yucky spf taste other lip balms have. It does create a white cast, but I find if I lightly put it on the cast is not prominent, and I am Caribbean with deep tan skin. Very grateful this lip balm does its job!

It’s really hard finding a good SPF for your lips! Previously, I used the Burt's Bees All Weather lip balm (SPF 15) but it left a horrible white cast on my lips that made them look purple. I hated it, and began trying lots of different ones. The Aquaphor one in the tube was not moisturizing enough, I felt like it dried really fast. I also found I did not like the tube applicator, it seems unsanitary. Same for the Jack Black one. I tried the chemical sunscreen version of Sun Bum's lip balm, but it was greasy, not moisturizing, and the fragrance was cloying. This mineral version is a lot better than that one, I will say. It does leave a white film but not as bad as other lip balms. The more coats I put on, the worse it gets, so I only put on one or two layers at a time. This one is also way more moisturizing because it’s more wax based, not oil, like their chemical version. But the problem with the mineral one is that it makes my lips tingle when I first apply it. It does go away after a few minutes, but I’m worried that it's not a good sign. Because of that, my search continues for a new SPF lip balm, but I will use this in the meantime.

Smooth lip balm. Very moisturizing. Perfect for a pool or beach day.

I really really like this. It goes on white but not in a chalky way. More moisturising and glossy, and helps with the appearance of the pigmentation on my lips. I tried the hello Sunday mineral spf balm over and it was so good. I like the hello Sunday one but on its own it pills and feels chalky. It's also a bit too pink for me. But the sun bum just erased those issues and together I got the perfect look, feel and colour. Pleasantly surprised and love wearing it I'm tempted to wear it to bed too

Très bonne protection et hydratation. Une marque non distribuée en France qui mérite de se faire une place.

Will make good use of it and put my trust in applying this product to my skin.

This item came damaged and unusable. The stick won't come up. And the worst part is it cannot be returned or replaced. Money lost. Very disappointed. If you value your money buy products that have a return/replace option.
