Lip Balm & SPF 30 Sunscreen

I use sunblock 365 days a year or else my lips will blister around the edges from sunburns. I've been using Z Blok for about a year, and I am very pleased with the sun protection. The label claims "clear zinc," "fragrance free," "chemical free," and "SPF30." My lips have never burned or blistered or reacted to the ingredients, so it works great for me. Even though the label says it is clear zinc, it is actually an off-white color that goes on almost clear. Sometimes my lips will look a little pale just after application and in that case I smack my lips together and slide them around a bit to evenly distribute the balm and then the product is clear. The texture (or lip feel) of Z Block makes lips a tad too waxy and thus too tacky for my taste, so I apply a thin coat of Neosporin's Overnight Renewal Therapy over the Z Blok to achieve that perfectly hydrated, moist (but not shiny or slippery), wax-free lip feeling. Typically, I just use this once a day, but if I'm outdoors for an extended period, I will reapply it just to make sure I won't burn...just as I would for SPF30 sunscreen. It's nice that it comes in a 3-pack so that you can keep them on hand wherever you are and it's nice that it is applied directly to the lips...you don't need to clean your finger before dipping it in a tiny tub of lip balm or wipe product out from under your fingernail. In sum, it is effective, convenient, and fairly priced.

I coach in Florida and I’m in the sun all the time. I’m constantly drinking water and licking my lips and the sun tends to give me blisters. I started using this clear zinc lip block and it helped blocking out the bad rays and healed my lips.

Great. No taste. Smooth.

Unfortunately I have been getting cold sores my whole life. The sun is the main reason I get them. I bought this chapstick and put it on continuously while I’m in the sun and I don’t get cold sores!!! 100% best stuff.

Love this product. I am outdoors playing golf & pickleball almost daily & this helps fight cold sores from sun

Great for eczema. Very expensive since the tube is very small. Unable to use the full stick, the bottom is not accessible . Suggest to switch to a small tin version of this instead

I spent my life in pools and sun in California. Swimming, Lifeguarding, coaching swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling and snow skiing. My friends used to call me "suzie chapstick". At age 35 I had to have core samples taken from my lip and had many treatments for sun damage by dermatologists. At age 65 I developed squamous cell carcinoma on my lower lip and had to have it removed by a plastic surgeon. It was discovered in July and I had many trips camping on the beach bluffs already reserved. Between my biopsy and the actually surgery I discovered this lip balm. It completely healed the biopsy on my lip before the surgery which turned out successful. I believe there is a healing agent in the zinc itself besides being the best and longest lasting lip balm I have ever tried. I am back for the 3rd time in a year 1/5 to buy it again. Try it you will love the effect it has on your dry lips and the protection is unsurpassable.

Just what I need for the summer Sun, especially at the beach! Put one in each of my favorite handbags.
