Product Summary
We do not recommend "Carmex - Daily Care Moisturizing Lip Balm Tubes with SPF, Fresh Cherry, Strawberry and Wintergreen Lip Balm Pack, - Pack of 3" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 4.00% (declared) and octinoxate 7.50% (declared).
