Sun Lip Therapy | Organic Zinc Oxide Lip Balm
- In stock, ready to ship
Serious lip protection that doesn't feel like punishment.
Your lips are thin-skinned. Literally. They have almost no melanin, minimal oil glands, and zero ability to protect themselves from the elements. Most people ignore this until they're dealing with cracked, burned, peeling lips and wondering what went wrong. This balm exists so you never have that problem.
We built it around non-nano zinc oxide at a full 20% concentration. Not a token amount for label appeal. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that sits on top of your skin and physically blocks environmental exposure. It doesn't absorb, doesn't break down, doesn't need time to "activate." It just works. And because the particles are non-nano, they're too large to penetrate your skin. They stay on the surface, doing their job.
The base is pure nourishment: organic extra virgin coconut oil, unrefined shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax. Ingredients that heal and protect on their own, now working alongside the mineral shield. The result feels like a rich balm, not a chalky paste.
"I wanted something I'd actually want to wear. Most zinc lip products feel like you're smearing correction fluid on your face. This had to glide on smooth, feel good, and disappear into your lips without leaving that telltale white cast. We tested dozens of ratios before we got it right."
Why You'll Love This Lip Therapy
- 20% non-nano zinc oxide creates a genuine physical barrier. This isn't a marketing number; it's the concentration that actually works.
- Completely unscented. No essential oils, no fragrance, no flavor. Just protection. Perfect for sensitive skin or anyone who doesn't want to taste their lip balm all day.
- Creamy, smooth texture that glides on without dragging. The jojoba and sweet almond oils keep it from feeling waxy or heavy.
- No white cast when applied correctly. Blend it in and it disappears while still doing its job.
- Reef-safe and environmentally responsible. Zinc oxide won't harm coral or marine ecosystems.
- Long-lasting wear that doesn't quit. Reapply after eating, drinking, or swimming, but otherwise it stays put.
This Is Why We Do It
"Great texture, feels good on my lips, doesn't look white like sometimes happens with zinc oxide, doesn't feel chalky, and stays on a long time."
The Ritual
Apply liberally before heading outdoors. Don't just dab; give your lips a solid, even coat. Reapply after eating, drinking, swimming, or towel-drying. For extended outdoor time, reapply every couple of hours. Works great as a base layer under other lip products if you want color or flavor on top of your protection.
Key Ingredients
- Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (20%)
- The workhorse. A natural mineral that creates a physical barrier on your lips, reflecting and scattering environmental exposure rather than absorbing it.
- Organic Shea Butter + Cocoa Butter
- The healing base. Rich, unrefined butters that deliver deep moisture and help repair lips already damaged by wind and sun.
- Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- Anti-inflammatory and intensely hydrating. Soothes irritated lips while the zinc does the heavy lifting on protection.
- Organic Beeswax
- Creates a breathable seal that locks in moisture and helps the balm stay where you put it.
Complete Your Ritual
Heading outside? Build your full outdoor kit. Pair this with Critter Quitter Bug Spray for complete head-to-toe protection against both sun and pests. Add the Camping Soap for a multi-use bar that handles hair, body, and even dishes when you're off-grid. For evening, switch to Orange Cream Lip Balm when you want flavor and nourishment instead of protection. Day shift, night shift. Your lips stay covered either way.
