“The reality is that no body part is safe from the sun, and one of the most important and overlooked areas for protection from harmful UV rays is the lips.”
“You might not realise it but the skin on your lips is super thin, which makes it especially susceptible to UV damage…the best way to guard against it? You guessed it… a lip balm with SPF.”
“Threats to your lips come from everywhere: sunburn, windburn, cold and dry air, bacteria, cold sores, you name it… you need a plan to keep that skin strong and smooth—and that solution comes packed into a tiny tube.”

How do I apply this lip protection oil?
Shake well before use. Then use the roll-on ball applicator to apply the product evenly across your lips, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 1-2 hours in full sun.
Why does UV protection matter?
Because although the sun makes us feel great, unprotected exposure causes damage to our skin. Alongside premature ageing and wrinkles, it can lead to the development of skin cancer.
There are three categories of UV rays:
UVC: The most harmful – but thankfully blocked by the Earth’s ozone layer.
UVB: Associated with full sun – these rays reach the outer layer of your skin and cause sunburn.
UVA: Always present (even on cloudy days) – these rays reach deep into the inner layer of your skin and lead to long-term harm.
Daily exposure to UVA and regular exposure to UVB compounds over time – leading to skin damage, and the risk of developing skin cancers. This is why Dermatologists recommend wearing SPF every single day.
What is the difference between an SPF Lip Balm and SPF Lip Oil?
An SPF lip balm focuses on occlusion – meaning that it creates a barrier to prevent water loss and to shield lips from external elements. An SPF lip oil focuses on hydration – with a fast-absorbing formula that deeply moisturises your lips – providing protection from free radicals, including UV.
Why do I need to use sun protection for my lips?
Due to their sensitivity – the sun, wind, and general environmental exposure can leave your lips vulnerable to dehydration and damage. It’s essential to protect them from.
