Product summary

We believe that this product can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

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: avobenzone 2.00% (declared), octinoxate 7.50% (declared), octisalate 5.00% (declared) and homosalate 15.00% (declared).

Irritation risk

This product contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive. We assess the overall irritancy of this sunscreen to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

WIMJ summary for sun protection

This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.

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.

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

This product can also help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.

What does the product description say?

"Our smooth SPF 30 sunscreen lip balm with added Aloe and Vitamin E will protect and moisturize your kisser all day long."

Walmart

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.

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).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
theobroma cacao seed butter	HIGH
dimethicone	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ascorbic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, punica granatum extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
ascorbic acid	HIGH
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane Avobenzone. An organic, or so-called "chemical" UV filter. Protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Needs to be combined with other filters in a formulation to be stable.	2% Declared
homosalate A weak sunscreen that offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not offer meaningful protection against protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation	15% Declared
ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating	7.5% Declared
ethylhexyl salicylate Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	5% Declared
adipic acid/diglycol crosspolymer	23% - 34%
aloe barbadensis leaf extract Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	3.8% - 5.7%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	4.5% - 6.7%
bht A preservative	3.5% - 5.2%
calendula officinalis flower extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating	2.5% - 3.7%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	1.9% - 2.8%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	1.7% - 2.5%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.4% - 2.1%
citrus grandis fruit extract	0.95% - 1.45%
citrus limon fruit extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity	0.8% - 1.2%
cyclohexasiloxane A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels	0.55% - 1.25%
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	0.4% - 1%
diisobutyl adipate Used to improve the product consistency	0.35% - 0.75%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	0.3% - 0.75%
equisetum arvense extract A plant extract that might have anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating	0.2% - 0.8%
ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture	0.2% - 0.75%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.15% - 0.55%
ginkgo biloba leaf extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in skin. It can be irritating	0.15% - 0.65%
hydrated silica	0.35% - 0.75%
isostearyl linoleate	0.15% - 0.7%
macrocystis pyrifera extract	0.15% - 0.5%
paraffinum liquidum Mineral oil. One of the most effective and well studied occlusive and emollient moisturizing ingredients. Helps reduce moisture loss in skin and repair skin barrier function	0.15% - 0.6%
ozokerite Used to thicken the product consistency	0.1% - 0.45%
panax ginseng root extract A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating	0.15% - 0.55%
peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency	0.1% - 0.45%
polysorbate 80 Helps water and oil mix together	0.1% - 0.5%
propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating	0.1% - 0.4%
punica granatum extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and even out the skin tone, but is typically used in products in a concentration that is too low to be effective	0.1% - 0.4%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.1% - 0.4%
rosmarinus officinalis extract	0.1% - 0.5%
salix alba bark extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect	0.15% - 0.6%
salvia officinalis extract	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium saccharin	0.15% - 0.5%
theobroma cacao seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect	0.15% - 0.7%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.1% - 0.45%
ananas sativus fruit extract A fruit extract that might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin, but there is no evidence for any other benefits to the skin	0.1% - 0.4%
