The tinted sunscreen provides high broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This product feels fresh and dewy so it’s great for dry skin.

Sun Protection for Lips
LAVANILA – The Healthy Lip Sunscreen, SPF 30
Your lips have some of the thinnest skin on your body and yet we often forget to protect this delicate area. Many sunscreen lip balms feel drying or have a chemical aftertaste but the Healthy Lip Screen from LAVANILA with SPF 30 is creamy, non-whitening and tastes minty. It moisturizes your lips while blocking the sun’s harmful rays.
