Pros: Contains zinc, non-drying
Cons: wish it was tinted
This lip balm is great to protect lips from the sun. I found it quite moisturizing. Some lip sunscreens are drying, but not this one.
Goes on clear, with just a very slight shine. Lasts for a while.
I wore it while boating on a very sunny and windy day - no sun burn and no dry lips later!
Here's the full list of ingredients:

This version has zinc in it. It looks like they recently changed the formula to be SPF30 and increased the zinc to 7.5%. But also changed it from a tube to a container where you need to stick your finger in it (I hate those!). Not sure I'll want to try this version as I really prefer tubes.
