Lip Balm & SPF 30 Sunscreen

I use sunblock 365 days a year or else my lips will blister around the edges from sunburns. I've been using Z Blok for about a year, and I am very pleased with the sun protection. The label claims "clear zinc," "fragrance free," "chemical free," and "SPF30." My lips have never burned or blistered or reacted to the ingredients, so it works great for me. Even though the label says it is clear zinc, it is actually an off-white color that goes on almost clear. Sometimes my lips will look a little pale just after application and in that case I smack my lips together and slide them around a bit to evenly distribute the balm and then the product is clear. The texture (or lip feel) of Z Block makes lips a tad too waxy and thus too tacky for my taste, so I apply a thin coat of Neosporin's Overnight Renewal Therapy over the Z Blok to achieve that perfectly hydrated, moist (but not shiny or slippery), wax-free lip feeling. Typically, I just use this once a day, but if I'm outdoors for an extended period, I will reapply it just to make sure I won't burn...just as I would for SPF30 sunscreen. It's nice that it comes in a 3-pack so that you can keep them on hand wherever you are and it's nice that it is applied directly to the lips...you don't need to clean your finger before dipping it in a tiny tub of lip balm or wipe product out from under your fingernail. In sum, it is effective, convenient, and fairly priced.

I coach in Florida and I’m in the sun all the time. I’m constantly drinking water and licking my lips and the sun tends to give me blisters. I started using this clear zinc lip block and it helped blocking out the bad rays and healed my lips.

Unfortunately I have been getting cold sores my whole life. The sun is the main reason I get them. I bought this chapstick and put it on continuously while I’m in the sun and I don’t get cold sores!!! 100% best stuff.

As some folks have noticed the Sun’s rays are feeling stronger than they did years back. When my friends and I were getting sunburned lips in March whilst hiking, I started looking for something to protect myself against sunburn. I found Z-Blok a few years ago and continue to buy it because it works. I also gift it to friends who enjoy outdoor activities. The Zinc offers great protection and doesn’t turn lips white. It’s also a nice emollient moisturizer without being greasy.

I specifically require a zinc oxide sunscreen product for total protection from dangerous sun exposure. This particular brand lip balm is my favorite. It is easy to apply, provides great staying power and it really works. After numerous procedures to correct sun damage issues I have learned my lesson and use this product religiously.

I love these lip balms because they protect my lips from becoming severely sunburnt and chapped. I'm a surfer and beach volleyball athlete so I need a reliable product that will keep my lips safe while being in the sun for multiple hours. They don't really taste like much and they are sheer for the most part. The more you put on the whiter the layers look on your lips. I highly recommend these to anyone looking to keep their lips from being sun damaged.

Great product for blocking the sun from your lips without a white hue.

This year was the first year.I did not get sun bliss on my lips.Using this product.It is absolutely fantastic
