Well, I'm in the U.S. but I buy most of my skincare from Europe + Asia. Including my lip SPFs. I use Ultra Sun Lip SPF 50 and Sun Sense Lip Balm SPF 50. These lip sunscreens have modern European organic filters that are much longer lasting than Avobenzone and Octinoxate. Things like Mexoryl XL and SX and Tinosorb S. These are my HG lip sunscreens.
First! I make sure I put spf on my face, neck, and body. I also try to stay on top of reapplying every 2 hours, but I never think about my lips. I will now! Thanks for sharing!
I love Lanolips - Tinted Balm SPF 30 :)) It's super comfortable on the lips and moisturising, not sticky but stays on for quite a long time. I tried 2 colours: Nude and Rhubarb, they are nice, not super pigmented.
Vanicream Lip Protectant SPF 30. Dries down with a slight cast, but it's tolerable under my lipstick. I also lightly dab under my eyes for moisture and SPF protection that doesn't cause orbital irritation.
I found the okeefe’s and bought it because of your comment and let me tell you, the aquafor was a bust, but the okeefe’s is the absolutely bomb. Has me and my son’s lips soft and moisturized while being protected at the same time, thanks‼️
Salt and Stone spf 30 lip balm is amazing! It's mineral so it leaves a white cast but it's tolerable if you blend it. It's a small business as well and I find that the ingredients are responsibly sourced bc it's not mass produced
My favorite not listed is the MD Solar Sciences Hydrating Sheer Lip Balm in Rose. 💗 I will say, to me it's not very sheer it's more of like a demi-opaque to opaque cream lipstick consistency. I love it!
I’m in Australia and use QV Face lip balm SPF 30 very hydrating and designed for sensitive skin, I wear under my mask face which I wear all day as a nurse. It’s about $5 AUD and you can buy the whole range at every pharmacy. I have dry sensitive and reactive skin and can’t use most lip products but this has saved my lips.
My favorite is Lanolips, an Australian brand. They have a great color selection and are spf35. They are glossy as well, I just use them instead of lipstick
I like the vanicream but mostly for when I don’t care if my lips are white. I do mix it with lipstick if I do care. I didn’t like Elta’s. It ended up separating on me in the tube. I will have to look for the others to try - especially the o’keefe
It's finally here! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Been waiting for this list since you had the poll on IG. Definitely need to try some of these ASAP. Current holy grail is Jack Black in Shea butter & Vitamin E. Smells slightly sweet like baked goods and I personally don't taste anything. Have also been enjoying EOS spf 30 in watermelon but I know you didn't love it since it's a bit crumbly and leaves a bit of white cast due to the Zinc Oxide.
Dr. Sam, please, try the "Biovéne-Barcelona lip balm treatment" with SPF 30! Smells like juicy kiwi, and doesn't taste bad at all. I kind of used to avoid spf lip balms because they usually taste so bad, but this one is incredible! It has kind of a weird texture between a gel and an oil but feels very moisturizing and not sticky. I swear I'm not sponsored, it's just that good.
I highly highly recommend the Ultrasun lip SPF. I’m in the US and get it from Beauty Bay. I absolutely love it and use it many times every day. So does my husband.
The sun bum mineral SPF 30 lip balm is actually quite good! Moisturizing, non-irritating and no noticeable white cast (I have very fair skin though so take that with a grain of salt). It doesn’t have a noticeable taste to me either, and it’s fragrance free for the super sensitive among us!
Thank you for your recommendations! My favorite is "Sundance lip balm sensitiv SPF 50" (dm Germany drugstore brand) with vitamin E, Avocado oil and photostable UV filters. It's great for sensitive skin, vegan, with UVA and UVB protection, without dyes, fragrance, nanoparticles, parabens, paraffins. To protect coral reefs also without octinoxate, octocryline and oxybenzone. Very pleasant on the lips.
I like the Aquaphor spf 30 lip protectant. I like that it makes my lips shiny. I’ve also tried the vanicream spf 30, but it turns your lips white. MD Solar Science also makes nice lip products with sun protection. 😀
Thank you for this video! I have several brands of spf lip balms, but find myself grabbing the Revlon Kiss lip balms most often. They are only spf 20, but they are so great and super affordable, with a nice variety of colors.
OK, how come I've never thought of applying a sunscreen on my lips?? Am I dumb? 😊 Absolutely love your videos. Congrats on how fast your channel is growing. I'm a small YT creator myself, so I know the struggle and the discipline it takes to stay consistent.
I do the same! I don't know if I should get now a lip product with spf🤔 we eat, drink, so we should apply more than on face, am I corect? Someone help :)
Dr. Ellis, I recently found your channel and I have been really enjoying your videos. They are so informative, yet approachable. The only spf lip balm I have tried and liked is the Neutrogena Revitalizing Tinted Lip Balm SPF 20. I know it’s not the highest protection, but I find the formula to be comfortable and the colors are quite nice. I have petal (a soft, neutral-pink with the slightest shimmer) and plum (looks more “natural/ mauve”.) I’m ordering Brush on Block now! Thank you!!
Thanks doctor! I think SPF lip products are so hard to find. I'm currently using Aquaphor SPF lip balm, but it's not the best for hydrating my lips in the summer. I want to look into that O'Keefe product!
Hi Dr. Ellis! Thanks for sharing your expertise again. I get so excited to watch each week! Do you think the shine from the gloss could create a reflection from the sun and potentially cause more photo damage?
Great recomendations! I am always looking for a lip spf but hate the taste so i have to try this your recomendations, the only one i have been liking lately is neutrogena lip balm spf 20, no taste and different colors but probably not enough spf... thank you!!
I’ve been wearing Babo Botanicals SPF 15 Lip Tint Conditioner in Wild Rose for years--my favorite. Super creamy, the color is perfect (there are several colors) and it lasts a really long time. I love that it’s just TD and ZO, but I wish the SPF was at least 20.
I'm currently using nivea Sun protect and it does have a bitter taste if I drink with it on. So I usually rub it off drink then reapply. I don't think you would like it lol. But it's spf 50 so I'm sticking to it for now. Because it's also very inexpensive.
I really like Vanicream sunscreen for lips. It works great for me. (By the way, a little bit of acoustic foam might help with your empty-room echo with your audio.)
I use the KDA aloe vera lip sunscreen spf20. I tried everything available in my country above spf20, but everything I tried smells of sunscreen (and I cannot handle the sunscreen smell, nope). This one smells of vanilla and is very balmy. It is moisturising enough to work in the winter as well as in the heat of the summer. My lips are on the dry side so I am reapplying often anyway, so I stopped looking for anything else.
I love your videos 🙌 Unfortunately since I live in Spain I have no access to those lip products, I need to check where to get them. I recently discovered my fave of all times lip SPF: Bariesun SPF 30 from the brand Uriage, I hope it's available in US, it's really nice with a bit of a shine, no taste at all and nice texture, I even convinced my husband to use it 😅
Jack Black and I have been in a solid relationship for the last 12 years, but I am curious about the o’keefes. It’s good to have a twist tube option when it’s so cold the jack black one won’t squeeze out.
I just started using Jack Black (I know...crazy). I love it but it's enough of a push to get out that I know that winters will be impossible. Thanks for the heads up about that.
Yes on the sunscreen taste!! The Aquaphor lip sunscreen taste horribly bitter 🤢 I’ve been using the Jack Black one to help with pigmented lip lines, I’ll definitely check the other ones out too 🙏🏽
Dr Ellis, what do you think using eye sunscreen on your lips ? I got a supergoop eye sunscreen (I think it’s spf 40) and been using it on my lip like a primer, and apply lipstick over it. I always feel like when I use a sunscreen lipbalm over/under my lipstick, it’s like a cleansing balm and takes off my lipstick.
I’ve never considered a separate product for my lips. I wear lipstick obsessively so I just figure with my face sunscreen and lipstick I thought I was covered.
Good info. How about the Aquaphor Lip Protectant + Sunscreen SPF 30? Thoughts on that one? I personally love the Jack Black. Sun Bum is another good one.
The only thing I can put on my lips is petroleum jelly. I’ve never been able to use any lipsticks or balms because they make the skin on my lips crack and peel. Even ointments that are supposed to be “healing” make my lips worse Does Vaseline have any sun protection?? Is there a petroleum jelly with sunscreen? Edited to add - I know the Jack Black one is petroleum jelly based but I’m concerned that it has lanolin and other things in it.
Haha making me make hard decisions over here haha. I’d slightly prefer the gloss only because I find it consistently wears off super evenly so it’s good if you’re on vacay/not in front of a mirror.
Can you please do a make up video? You always look so natural!
Well, I'm in the U.S. but I buy most of my skincare from Europe + Asia. Including my lip SPFs. I use Ultra Sun Lip SPF 50 and Sun Sense Lip Balm SPF 50.

I'm excited to try the O'Keeffe's.
This is gold! I’ve been trying some, but the bitterness is hard to get past. I’m going to try some of your recommendations!
I’M OBSESSED with the Sun Sense SPF 50 Lip Balm!! Zero taste. ALSO the SunBum Mineral lip balm in the black tube is fabulous!!!
Vanicream SPF 30 lip balm. The best mineral lip balm! White initially but blends in so well and makes lipstick stay on. My go to!!
Although I wish it had a higher spf, the Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm in Petal Glow is my absolute favorite.
O’Keeffes is low key the best spf lip balm I’ve ever used.
Right?! I was totally sleeping on it.
Is the lime peel oil okay in this product?
I found the okeefe’s and bought it because of your comment and let me tell you, the aquafor was a bust, but the okeefe’s is the absolutely bomb. Has me and my son’s lips soft and moisturized while being protected at the same time, thanks‼️

I liked how that looked but I still get the sunscreen-y taste with it! I think I’m super sensitive to it.
Yes!Solarscience is on the good list of EWG safe cosmetics
I’ve used the Jack Black lip balm for years…AMAZING.
I’m in Australia and use QV Face lip balm SPF 30 very hydrating and designed for sensitive skin, I wear under my mask face which I wear all day as a nurse.
It’s about $5 AUD and you can buy the whole range at every pharmacy. I have dry sensitive and reactive skin and can’t use most lip products but this has saved my lips.
I like Paula’s Choice Lipscreen SPF 50.
This is highest on my list to try next!
My favorite is Lanolips, an Australian brand. They have a great color selection and are spf35. They are glossy as well, I just use them instead of lipstick
Hi! Can I ask you, where do you buy them? I live in the US and the Lanolips with SPF are not available for shipping here:(
Missing my favorite one - Vanicream Lip Protectant/Sunscreen SPF 30 (filters: zinc oxide & titanium dioxide) 👏 😎
I love Vanicream but it was white on my lips from the zinc oxide. I couldn't give it a second go because of that.
Yea, I use this when I’m not in public lol. It’s very white
I like the vanicream but mostly for when I don’t care if my lips are white. I do mix it with lipstick if I do care. I didn’t like Elta’s. It ended up separating on me in the tube. I will have to look for the others to try - especially the o’keefe
I bought the colorscience lip oil on your recommendation and I'm so so happy with it. I think I will always have some in "fig" on hand.
This came at the perfect time! Thanks Dr!! 🙌🏼
Yes! Jack Black has been my favorite lip balm for YEARS and no one ever talks about it! ❤️🥰❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Same here!! 🙌
Unbelievably helpful! I too have been on the hunt and can’t wait to try some!

The Sun Bum is a very good lip balm with an spf of 30!!!-‐
Fragrance free is so important to me.
Can’t thank you enough for this spf lip care review! I have been looking for great spf lip products for years! 👍👍👍
The Paula's Choice Lipscreen spf50 is my holy grail.
Thank you for your recommendations! My favorite is "Sundance lip balm sensitiv SPF 50" (dm Germany drugstore brand) with vitamin E, Avocado oil and photostable UV filters.

To protect coral reefs also without octinoxate, octocryline and oxybenzone. Very pleasant on the lips.
Mine too, it is a great one :)
Does it have any taste? I hate Sebamed lip defense spf 30 because it tastes very soapy, I can’t even eat with that on my lips!
@@sweetflakes It has no taste at all. Very comfortable and safe.
love all the effort you put into the video!!
I like the Aquaphor spf 30 lip protectant. I like that it makes my lips shiny. I’ve also tried the vanicream spf 30, but it turns your lips white. MD Solar Science also makes nice lip products with sun protection. 😀
Jack Black is my all time favorite. I use it at bedtime too!
Thank you for this video! I have several brands of spf lip balms, but find myself grabbing the Revlon Kiss lip balms most often. They are only spf 20, but they are so great and super affordable, with a nice variety of colors.
SPF 20 is still really good! And it’s awesome to have one that is good enough to really WANT to use it.
Tried the cotz and O'Keefe! Loving the O'Keefe! Tastes and feels fine!!
OK, how come I've never thought of applying a sunscreen on my lips?? Am I dumb? 😊
Absolutely love your videos. Congrats on how fast your channel is growing. I'm a small YT creator myself, so I know the struggle and the discipline it takes to stay consistent.
Hi Dr. Sam! Love your informative video
I bought the Okeefes lip balm with your link. thank you so much for the advice.
Great choices. I currently use Aquaphor SPF 30. Pretty good 👍. I've also used the Vanicream SPF 30 mineral. Also nice. Have to try the ColorScience.
Nice! I wanted to like the Vanicream mineral but I always felt like my lips looked pretty white afterward.
Loved it! I am very sensitive to flavors and scents if I don’t like them so thank you!! 😊
Ive been using rubber ducky lipscreen in SPF 44 and its good tastes amazing .
Dr. Ellis, I appreciate your time and recommendations! I usually use my face SPF on my lips and it's not the most cosmetically elegant.
Good on you. I for some reason completely forgot to protect my lips 😳
I do the same! I don't know if I should get now a lip product with spf🤔 we eat, drink, so we should apply more than on face, am I corect? Someone help :)
Doesn’t that taste awful?
@@salimas7979 i never really payed attention.. But it does not bother me :)
@@salimas7979 I use colorscience and it adheres and absorbs into my lips, no taste, thank goodness.

This is amazing! Thank you!
So easy to buy lip balm when you recommend it! Thank you so much Dr. Sam:)

Thx for doing this video.
What color do you use here in the colorescince lip shine? Looks great on you!
Thank you... Thank you... Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I have male coworkers who look at me crazy when they see me putting lip sunscreen.
I'm currently using nivea Sun protect and it does have a bitter taste if I drink with it on. So I usually rub it off drink then reapply. I don't think you would like it lol. But it's spf 50 so I'm sticking to it for now. Because it's also very inexpensive.

I enjoy Bioderma’s sunscreen stick and use it as a lippie
Currently I use Sebamed spf 30 lip defense stick.
Dr. Sam I use lanolips to moisturise and bioderma photoderm spf 50 with a long list of ingredients I hope I have the right products
Paula's choice has one with spf 50, unscented, no bad taste at least for me!

Did it work?
Awesome recommendations! Thank you!! How do you feel about using one of the SPF balms as a base and then layering over with a non SPF lip gloss?
Love this!
Dr. Ellis, how do you keep your lips looking pink naturally plump?
What do you think of the vani cream lip balm?
Dr Ellis, what do you think using eye sunscreen on your lips ? I got a supergoop eye sunscreen (I think it’s spf 40) and been using it on my lip like a primer, and apply lipstick over it.

Hey Dr Sam can you try out the sun bum signature spf lip balm the black one?
I’m curious about the thrive causemetics one. It’s only spf 24 I think, but looks awesome otherwise!
Bum sun tinted lip spf is good.
How about O keefee hand and foot cream? Have you ever try them?
Can you share your opinion on the safety of using products that contain oxtinoxate please?:)
Should we apply the sunscreen underneath our lipstick, or on top of our lipstick?
Do you recommend exfoliating the lips with rubbing products like sugar oil?
Ty so much
I’ve never considered a separate product for my lips. I wear lipstick obsessively so I just figure with my face sunscreen and lipstick I thought I was covered.
I see that this video is a year ago. Is there a updated video or has your favorites changed? 😊
How do you protect your skin when hiking? I _love_ hiking, but I'm worried about my face, neck and hands even with sunscreen.
can you do a European edition? thank you
What color of the two spf gloss and oil did you use here please?
Good info. How about the Aquaphor Lip Protectant + Sunscreen SPF 30? Thoughts on that one?
I personally love the Jack Black. Sun Bum is another good one.
Thank you. I recently tried the banana boat and I can't stand the taste of sunblock either.
I use Banana Boat SPF 45. It is cheap ($2). I have several around. And if I loose one, no big deal. I like the taste.
What are your favorite skincare face masks?
Now the o keefs ls like $15+ for a 2 pack 😢

And what about eyes? My mom just did a blepharoplasty, and I’m looking for some high defence eye cream, that wont irritate🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How do you feel about supergoop for accutane? Everyone recommends eltamd but supergoop doesn't break me out
So bummed because so many lip products have beeswax, and my lip always swells up when I use anything with beeswax 😢.
Hey what about spf product for eyelids? The ones for the face burns my eyes
I just recommend sunglasses for those with sensitive eyes!
Between the lip oil and lipgloss… if you had to choose… which one? lol Im going on vacation sooon and trying to decide between the two. 😁
Haha making me make hard decisions over here haha. I’d slightly prefer the gloss only because I find it consistently wears off super evenly so it’s good if you’re on vacay/not in front of a mirror.
