Sun Lip Therapy | Organic Zinc Oxide Lip Balm
- In stock, ready to ship
Serious lip protection that doesn't feel like punishment.
Non-nano zinc oxide at 20% concentration. That's the number that matters. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that sits on top of your skin and physically blocks environmental exposure. It doesn't absorb into your skin, doesn't break down in sunlight, doesn't need time to "activate." The particles are non-nano, meaning they're too large to penetrate. They stay on the surface, doing their job.
Your lips have almost no melanin and minimal oil glands. They can't protect themselves. Most people ignore this until they're dealing with cracked, burned, peeling skin and wondering what went wrong. This balm exists so you never have that problem.
The base is the same certified organic formula we use across our lip balm line: organic extra virgin coconut oil, organic cocoa butter, organic unrefined shea butter, organic jojoba oil, organic sweet almond oil. Organic beeswax holds it together. These ingredients heal and protect on their own. Combined with the mineral shield, they create a balm that feels rich and creamy, not chalky or medicinal.
Completely unscented. No essential oils, no fragrance, no flavor. Just protection.
"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 The Sun Lip Therapy
- 20% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide: A genuine physical barrier, not a marketing number. Zinc oxide reflects and scatters environmental exposure rather than absorbing it chemically.
- No White Cast: Apply it right, blend it in, and it disappears. You get the protection without looking like you're wearing zinc paste.
- Completely Unscented: No essential oils, no fragrance, no flavor. Perfect for sensitive skin or anyone who doesn't want to taste their lip balm.
- Creamy Texture: Jojoba and sweet almond oils keep it from feeling waxy or heavy. Glides on smooth.
- Reef-Safe: Non-nano zinc oxide won't harm coral or marine ecosystems. Take it to the beach without guilt.
- Long-Lasting: Stays put through hours of outdoor activity. Reapply after eating, drinking, or swimming.
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."
How to Use It
Apply liberally before heading outdoors. Don't dab; give your lips a solid, even coat. Blend it in with your finger for invisible coverage. Reapply after eating, drinking, swimming, or towel-drying. For extended outdoor time, reapply every couple of hours. Works as a base layer under other lip products if you want color or flavor on top of your protection.
