Despite their susceptibility to sun damage, lips are often neglected when it comes to sun protection. The skin on our lips is much thinner and lacks the same level of melanin as the rest of our skin, making it more prone to sunburn and premature aging. Prolonged sun exposure can lead to dryness, chapping, and even the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the lips. By incorporating lip products with SPF into your daily routine, you can shield your lips from UV damage and maintain their softness and suppleness. Just like sunscreen for your face and body, lip products with SPF offer crucial protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. Lip glosses with SPF create a barrier between your lips and the sun, helping to prevent sunburn, chapping, and long-term damage.
What kind of SPF is best for your lips?
We’re so glad you asked! Not all lip products are created equal, and neither is SPF. Opt for mineral-based, broad-spectrum, medical-grade, and hydrating SPF. This standard is absolutely essential, but it's unfortunately incredibly difficult to find over the counter. Luckily for you, we have not one but two options that meet this quality standard and more.

Get instantly plump, voluminous, and healthy-looking lips with our HA Plumping SPF Gloss. HA stands for Hyaluronic Acid, which boosts hydration, reduces dryness, and naturally plumps lips. Peptides and ceramides restore your lips, revealing a brighter, softer, healthier look! Here are some highlights:
- Lip treatment with UVA/UVB broad spectrum SPF 30
