Product Summary
"Burt's Bees - 100% Natural All Weather SPF15 Moisturising Lip Balm" offers broad spectrum protection. It means that it protects from both UVA and UVB rays (you can remember UVB as "burning" sunlight - they cause sunburn. You can remember UVA rays as "aging" - they do not lead to sunburn, but they cause photodamage and contribute to early signs of skin aging and hyperpigmentation). On the negative side, the SPF of this lip sunscreen is not high enough. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
Sunscreen filters
This lip product is a mineral sunscreen. It uses zinc oxide for sun protection. Zinc oxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.
Irritation risk
There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this lip product to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
