Product summary

We do not recommend "Palmers - Cocoa Butter Formula Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balm SPF 15 Dark, Chocolate & Mint" 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. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 4.50% (declared) and octinoxate 7.50% (declared).
