Soleil Toujours Hydra Volume Lip Masque SPF 15
Product summary
"Soleil Toujours - Hydra Volume Lip Masque SPF 15" 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 it is not high enough. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
Sunscreen filters
This lip sunscreen 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.

Benefits
Promise: Sun protection
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection, but it is weak. We recommend to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| zinc oxide | HIGH |  |  |
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
act as natural SPF boosters, reduce UV-induced DNA damage, prevent loss of firmness, increase skin smoothness and decrease wrinkle depth
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works. The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |

| dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline | LOW | | |
| tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate | HIGH |  | |

What does the product description say?
Hydra Volume Lip Masque SPF 15
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cera alba.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-1
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| simmondsia chinensis seed oil | HIGH | | |
| sodium hyaluronate | HIGH | | |
| cera alba | HIGH | | |
