Your lips are skin too, and they need sun protection just as much as your face, especially in the bright Mauritian sun. This hydrating lip protector offers broad-spectrum UV defense with a sheer, healthy-looking rosy tint. Infused with a blend of 10 vitamins and hyaluronic acid, it moisturises dry, chapped lips while shielding them from sun damage that can cause darkening and premature ageing. Its lightweight, non-sticky formula leaves a comfortable, glossy finish, making it the perfect daily essential for protected, soft, and vibrant lips.
At-a-Glance (Who it's for, what to expect) (quick overview)
- Who it's for: Anyone looking for daily sun protection for their lips, especially those with dry, chapped, or pigmented lips.
- What it does: Provides SPF 16 UV protection, deeply hydrates with hyaluronic acid, nourishes with 10 vitamins, and adds a natural, sheer rosy tint.
- What to expect: Instantly softer, moisturised lips with a healthy gloss and a subtle rosy hue. With consistent use, it helps prevent sun-induced darkening and dryness.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Integrate this effortlessly into your morning routine and keep it handy throughout the day.
- Prep (Optional): Start with a gentle lip scrub if lips are flaky.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Squeeze a small amount and apply directly to clean, dry lips.
- Reapply: Reapply every 2 hours when in the sun, or after eating and drinking, to maintain protection.
Note: Already own a lip balm? Use this as your daytime SPF layer and your other balm for nighttime hydration.
How to Use (Application, frequency, and tips) (beginner-friendly guide)
Proper application ensures you get the full protective and hydrating benefits.
- Amount: Squeeze a small amount from the tube, enough to glide a thin, even layer over your entire lip surface.
- Method: Apply directly to lips using the applicator tip. Can be worn alone for a natural look or over a lip tint for added gloss and protection.
- Frequency: Apply in the morning as the final step of your skincare routine. Reapply at least every 2 hours during sun exposure, and more frequently after eating, drinking, or swimming.
SPF Truth Box (Filters, standards, reapply rules) (sun protection facts)
- Protection Level: SPF 16. This helps protect the delicate skin on your lips from UVB rays, which cause sunburn. While this is great for daily incidental exposure, a higher SPF is recommended for prolonged, intense sun exposure like a full day at the beach.
- UV Filters: This product uses chemical filters (like Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate) that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, preventing it from damaging the skin. They are formulated to be lightweight and leave no white cast.
- Reapplication is Key: Sun protection on the lips wears off faster than on the face due to eating, drinking, and talking. For continuous protection, you must reapply every 2 hours when outdoors, and immediately after swimming or eating. Think of it as topping up your shield against the sun.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
The Myth: "My regular lipstick or lip gloss is enough to protect my lips from the sun."
The Reality: Most standard lipsticks and glosses offer negligible to no SPF. While some dark, opaque lipsticks might provide a minimal physical block, glossy finishes can actually attract and intensify UV rays, acting like a magnifying glass. The skin on your lips is thin and lacks melanin, making it highly susceptible to sun damage, which can lead to premature ageing (fine lines around the mouth), discoloration, and increased risk of skin cancer. Using a dedicated lip product with rated SPF is the only reliable way to ensure protection.
Compatibility Guide (What to pair it with) (layering advice)
- ✅ Works Well With: This lip protector is designed to be versatile. You can layer it over lip tints or stains to add a glossy, protective finish. It also works well under lipstick as a hydrating base, though you may want to blot slightly before applying a matte formula.
- ⚠️ Use Carefully With: If using a lip plumping product that causes a tingling sensation, apply it first and let the effect subside before applying the SPF protector to avoid potential irritation.
- ❌ Avoid On: Do not apply on broken or severely chapped lips with open cuts. Let the skin heal first.
Skin Type Compatibility (Best fits and cautions) (is it right for you?)
- 💧 Dry / Chapped Lips: Excellent. The formula is packed with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter to soothe and moisturise dryness.
- 🌿 Sensitive Lips: Generally well-tolerated, but as with any product containing chemical sunscreens and fragrances, a patch test is recommended if you are prone to reactions.
- pigmented lips or those with fine lines, to prevent further sun-induced damage.
Targeted Concerns (What it helps to solve) (your skin goals)
This product is formulated to address:
- Sun Protection: Actively shields lips from harmful UVB rays.
- Dryness & Dehydration: Delivers and locks in moisture to combat chapped, tight-feeling lips.
- Dullness: Adds an instant healthy, glossy sheen and a sheer rosy tint to brighten pale or dull lips.
- Premature Ageing: Helps prevent the breakdown of collagen around the lips caused by sun exposure, reducing the formation of fine lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (Your questions, answered) (common queries)
Can I use this at night?
You can, but its primary benefit is sun protection, which isn't needed at night. For nighttime, a more intensive, repair-focused product like the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask might be more beneficial.
Is the rosy tint very strong?
No, it's a very sheer tint designed to give a natural, healthy enhancement to your lip colour. It will not look like a lipstick.
Why is the SPF only 16?
Lip products often have lower SPF ratings as higher concentrations of UV filters can affect the texture and taste. SPF 16 is suitable for daily, incidental sun exposure (like commuting or running errands). For prolonged, direct sun (like a beach day), reapplying frequently or using a higher SPF product is recommended.
