EltaMD UV Daily Peptide Lip Balm SPF 40, Mineral Lip Sunscreen 0.17 oz — Hydrating & Smoothing

EltaMD UV Daily Peptide Lip Balm SPF 40 is a lightweight, 100% mineral lip sunscreen that hydrates and visibly smooths lips while protecting them from UVA/UVB exposure. This three-in-one lip product blends mineral sun protection, targeted skincare actives, and everyday hydration into a clear, non-greasy balm. Formulated with zinc oxide for broad-spectrum defense, a peptide complex to improve lip texture, and hyaluronic acid plus cocoa butter for lasting moisture, it was designed to relieve dry, chapped lips without leaving a white cast or bitter aftertaste.

How does this lip balm protect my lips from the sun?

The formula uses 12.2% zinc oxide, a physical blocker that shields lips from both UVA and UVB rays. Because it’s mineral-based, protection is immediate and works on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed like chemical filters.

• 12.2% zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral protection
• SPF 40 rating for daily sun defense
• Transparent finish—no visible white cast
• Water resistant up to 40 minutes for short water exposure

Will it help repair and hydrate chapped lips?

Yes—this balm combines a 3% peptide blend plus 1% hyaluronic acid with cocoa butter to restore moisture and smooth the lip surface. The ingredients work together to reduce flakiness and create a more supple appearance with continued use.

• 3% peptide complex to support smoother-looking lips
• 1% hyaluronic acid for immediate and lasting hydration
• Cocoa butter to nourish and soothe cracked skin
• Weightless texture that layers comfortably under other lip products

How does it feel and taste during daily wear?

Designed for comfortable everyday use, the balm glides on with a non-sticky, lightweight feel and a subtle mint flavor. It offers a clear finish that won’t interfere with lipstick or lip gloss and avoids the unpleasant bitterness found in some sunscreen lip products.

• Non-greasy, non-comedogenic texture
• Transparent—works well under cosmetics
• Subtle mint flavor without bitter aftertaste
• Hypoallergenic and dye-free for sensitive users

Is this safe for sensitive skin and daily use?

The formulation is dermatologically tested and free from parabens and dyes, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive lips. Because it relies on mineral sunscreen and simple, conditioning actives, it’s a good option for routine protection and repair.

• Hypoallergenic and paraben-free
• Dermatologist-tested for safety
• Non-comedogenic and dye-free
• Safe to reapply throughout the day as needed
