Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Lip Smacker - Kiss Therapy Lip Balm, SPF 30, Strawberry" can offer reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: avobenzone 3.00% (declared), homosalate 10.00% (declared) and octocrylene 10.00% (declared).
