EltaMD UV Lip Balm Sunscreen, Moisturizes and Protects Dry Cracked Lips, Water Resistant up to 80 Minutes, Transparent Zinc Oxide Lip Sunscreen

Worth the price!
Riding a motorcycle in the hot summers with the blazing sun & wind on your face can be painful, this lip sunscreen is worth every penny and we can’t live without it! It’s soothing and a game changer for sun and windburn!

Lovely, but leaves a white cast.
I’m a huge fan of this brand, and was super excited to order this lip balm. It feels great, but leaves a little bit of a white cast. While I love knowing my lips are protected safely, I probably won’t order again.

Leaves a white cast
Love that it has SPF in it but it’s so thick and leaves a white cast on the lips unless you spend a good amount of time rubbing it in to avoid the white staying on the lips. It’s quite thick and sticky.

Disappointed then mad
A series of bad first impressions: When I first used this a big bubble of air expelled out of the tube and then it looked like it was half empty, then the product looked fairly paste-y and dry coming out, there was a bit of a white cast as I put it on (although it did sort of absorb in), and it did not feel hydrating at all to me, in fact I felt like it dried down to a chalky film that I could sense on my lips. I expected unscented/unflavored but it does show “flavor” in the ingredients list and was pepperminty and so it seemed a bit like toothpaste, which I didn’t appreciate.I don’t plan to buy this again. I appreciate the high spf number (for a lip product) and the clear instructions of reapply every 2 hours and 80 minutes time for water resistance, but I wanted something that I would enjoy using everyday and this falls short.Elta MD has a “60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee” for any reason, and Amazon is one of their authorized online retailers so you would think I should be able to get a refund from Elta; but no, if you find their full refund policy it is 17 bullet-points long! I have to request a refund from Amazon and apparently according to Amazon’s policy this is not eligible for return/refund. Amazon was kind enough to grant me a full refund, but I am really not pleased with Elta MD, I feel like it was a huge bait and switch.I would suggest not buying this brand unless you’re buying from an authorized local retailer that will honor the “guarantee”.

I specifically bought this lip balm because i’m looking for zinc lipbalm as it’s almost impossible to find lipbalm in Australia that doesn’t contain Octinoctate (methyoxycinnamate) which I am allergic to. I use a zinc sunscreen from this brand so thought it would be good to try this. I was disappointed to see it’s only 7% zinc and 7.5% Octinoctate (methyoxycinnamate) – the very ingredient I’m trying to avoid, which wasn’t declared on the listing, plus at this low level the zinc isn’t really doing any spf work anyway.Additionally, this tiny tube of lipbalm was delivered in a box, inside another box, inside a Fedex bag – overall parcel size the size of a shoe box, which didn’t feel very environmentally friendly.
