How to choose: Lip Balms With SPF
Choose Aquaphor if you want to compare an ointment format, Sun Bum for flavored balm options, or a mineral formula if that is your preference. Reapply according to the lip product’s directions, especially when eating, drinking or wiping the mouth removes it. Ordinary lip balm without SPF is not an equivalent replacement. Do not assume a tinted cosmetic has sun protection unless its label actually specifies it.

Shopping on Amazon US
These links lead to Amazon.com in the United States. First, check the seller and exact product version. Then compare the formula, shade, pack size, delivery and current price. Versions and stock can change. Also, a Find on Amazon link opens a product search. Choose the matching listing there. We omit prices, discounts and customer ratings that we cannot verify.
Using sunscreen well
Choose broad-spectrum protection. Then follow the label for the amount to apply and spread it evenly. Outdoors, reapply at least every two hours. Also follow the label after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Sunscreen is one part of protection, so use shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses too. For babies under six months, first ask a health professional.
