Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

The skin on your lips is considerably thinner and more susceptible to damage, so this SPF balm was carefully formulated to keep it protected.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

This SPF 50 formula works to defend against UV rays, while softening and conditioning your lips with Kalahari melon seed oil, aloe and shea butters.

Made with reef-safe filters and certified with the Protect Land + Sea logo.

4.5g

How To Use

Twist the stick until the balm appears and apply directly onto the lips.

Use as often as desired for a perfectly protected pout.

Ingredients

Aloe butter

Ultra-nourishing aloe butter splashes skin with optimum moisture, keeping it flake-free and protected from the sun’s drying heat.

Kalahari melon seed oil

With roots in southern Africa, this oil is rich in nourishing omega 6 fatty acids and bursting with antioxidants to help keep skin glowing, youthful and strong. It stimulates and regenerates skin cell growth, leaving lips feeling supple and firm.

Shea butter

Skin-saving shea butter deeply nourishes and conditions lips, helping to soothe and tone thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Lovely Lip Balm but Bad Winder

"Best lip balm I’ve ever used & I like having SPF 50. It makes a lovely base under lipstick & has a nice smell & taste. I’ve had several & I have the same problem every time with the winding mechanism not winding back. I have to be careful how much I wind out, especially in hot weather, & have to take care not to damage the contents when replacing the lid. I’m sorry to complain about this as it really is a lovely product. I advised Tropic of the problem some time ago & they kindly sent me another. I’ve used that now & ordered another hoping the problem would have been resolved by now but it hasn’t. I would have given 5 stars otherwise 😞"

Q&A

Hi, when on holiday my lips tend to breakout & blister even when I wear a chapstick/Vaseline. Would this be a better option for protection against this?: Hi Ally, thank you for getting in touch. Our Lip Shade is SPF50 and defends against damaging rays while softening and conditioning lips. Plus, it boasts 100% reef and skin-safe chemical sun filters, meaning it won’t leave any white cast on lips. We hope this helps!
Does the lip shade have the symbol uva in a circle?: Hi Mabel, thank you for getting in touch with us. Yes, it does. This is displayed on the back of the tube. We hope this helps.
Hi there, I always get a typical spf taste in my mouth wearing any kind of lip spf, is your lip spf a bit better in that respect ? thank you: Hi Estelle, thank you for getting in touch. Our Lip Shade nourishing SPF50 does not have a distinctive taste :).
Do you have vouchers?: Hi Kathy, thank you for getting in touch with us. Currently, we do not offer gift vouchers. We do have a 30-day happiness guarantee so if your gift isn't quite perfect, your loved one can always pop it back to us for an exchange 😊 we hope this helps
