Hurraw Balm Sun Lip Balm SPF15 Tangerine Chamomile

Hurraw loves the Sun. It's amazing. And they believe limited, smart exposure is actually pretty o.k. for the skin. But for those long exposure times, this SPF 15 Sun Balm will give your lips the extra protection they need. It glides on silky smooth *(and virtually clear) like their regular balms but it is formulated to be extra thick and creamy for longer staying power while out in those shining rays!

Juicy tangerine with hints of vanilla...the unique scent of roman chamomile lends a calming note. Packed full of amazing cold pressed oils to moisturize, protect and heal.

Here's the deal with Zinc Oxide. Hurraw uses non nano Zinc Oxide in their Sun Balm. Zinc Oxide is the only all natural, broad spectrum (blocks both UVA and UVB) sun screen available today. Zinc Oxide is a mineral. It protects your lips by sitting on top of them and thus, provides a physical barrier against UVA and UVB rays. It actually deflects the rays away from the skin to prevent any harm. For adequate protection it must be applied often.

As an interesting side note, to get the SPF 15 factor verified, this balm was laboratory tested on... (wait for it...) Humans! SPF 15 only means that your skin is protected 15x's "longer" than without the SPF 15 product. If you have very fair skin, perhaps the Sun makes you "pink" in just 3 minutes. Therefore, an SPF 15 product would grant you 45 minutes in the Sun...BUT there are many limiting factors: Time of day? Cloud cover? Eclipse? Are you on the water (or snow) where Sun rays are more concentrated? At a high altitude where you are literally closer to the Sun? Be Sun Smart. Listen to your body. Listen to the Sun. Big brimmed hats.

*Just a few swipes of Sun balm are needed for protection, many swipes will indeed give your lips an extra white tint, which is fine too. Be sure to apply it often for protection and to keep that physical zinc barrier present.
