What the gurus are saying

This lip balm stands out for reaching SPF 50, a rarity in lip protection since most max out at SPF 35. The strawberry flavor masks the typical sunscreen taste, and gurus praise the texture for being dewy without greasiness or that heavy Vaseline feel. It's the strongest SPF lip option they've found.

    "For lips I use the Hello Sunday [...] Broadspectrum SPF 50. This is a lip balm that is SPF 50 and it is a chemical SPF. [...] It's flavored with strawberry so it doesn't smell horribly like sunscreen, but this is the best one that I've been able to find that is SPF 50. Usually you can only get 35 tops."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
