MoisturizingBeeswax, Olea europaea fruit oil + 7 moreWorks
“Infused with Zinc Oxide, this broad spectrum natural lip balm with SPF 15 provides sunscreen benefits without the typical whitening appearance common with natural sunscreen, leaving lips moisturized, soft and protected from whatever Mother Nature throws your way.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
