You already know I’m all about sunscreen! The lips are an area we commonly forget about when it comes to sun protection, but they're just as important as other parts of the skin. I’m super picky when it comes to the lip products I use, so in this video I’m sharing my favorites from EltaMD, Colorescience, Jack Black, and more. What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments!

It's finally here! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Been waiting for this list since you had the poll on IG. Definitely need to try some of these ASAP. Current holy grail is Jack Black in Shea butter & Vitamin E. Smells slightly sweet like baked goods and I personally don't taste anything. Have also been enjoying EOS spf 30 in watermelon but I know you didn't love it since it's a bit crumbly and leaves a bit of white cast due to the Zinc Oxide.

Dr. Ellis, I recently found your channel and I have been really enjoying your videos. They are so informative, yet approachable. The only spf lip balm I have tried and liked is the Neutrogena Revitalizing Tinted Lip Balm SPF 20. I know it’s not the highest protection, but I find the formula to be comfortable and the colors are quite nice. I have petal (a soft, neutral-pink with the slightest shimmer) and plum (looks more “natural/ mauve”.) I’m ordering Brush on Block now! Thank you!!

Well, I'm in the U.S. but I buy most of my skincare from Europe + Asia. Including my lip SPFs. I use Ultra Sun Lip SPF 50 and Sun Sense Lip Balm SPF 50. These lip sunscreens have modern European organic filters that are much longer lasting than Avobenzone and Octinoxate. Things like Mexoryl XL and SX and Tinosorb S. These are my HG lip sunscreens.

I always feel like when I use a sunscreen lipbalm over/under my lipstick, it’s like a cleansing balm and takes off my lipstick.

To protect coral reefs also without octinoxate, octocryline and oxybenzone. Very pleasant on the lips.

Or I would go for a transparent lip balm to put it around my mouth but outside my lips. And finally, one of the tinted or not tinted on my lips. What do you think?

This one smells of vanilla and is very balmy. It is moisturising enough to work in the winter as well as in the heat of the summer. My lips are on the dry side so I am reapplying often anyway, so I stopped looking for anything else.

Edited to add - I know the Jack Black one is petroleum jelly based but I’m concerned that it has lanolin and other things in it.
