What the gurus are saying

This tinted lip balm earns consistent praise for its moisturizing formula and lack of fragrance, though those sensitive to chemical sunscreens may want to patch-test first. Gurus highlight the stable vitamin C, nourishing oils like avocado and castor, and visible color payoff, though at twenty dollars a tube it skews toward everyday tinted SPF rather than a clear one. The main trade-off: it is not water resistant, so reapplication matters if you are in water or sweating.

"This is one you've heard me rave about before, the MDSolarSciences SPF 30 lip balm. I recently repurchased it and I still adore it. It's [...] a chemical sunscreen, so if you don't get along with those on your lips [...] you may not care for it, and it's not water resistant, but it's super moisturizing and hydrating."
