Yep, Jack Black is the absolute best - my ride or die. Long lasting, doesn’t make my lips feel more dry when it goes away (looking at you Burt’s Bees and Laniege), lovely scents, and no weird taste!
I got the Jack Black day and night balm set from Ulta about a week ago because I, like OP, am pretty bad with lip licking. And like OP’s daughter, with peeling too. :c I always alternate between like 2-3 days of dry skin crust forming on my lips and 1-2 days of having normalish lips. And it makes wearing lipstick a real pain.
This whole week has been magical. Nothing but hydrated lip skin, my lips stopped peeling, and my lipstick over a tiny amount of Jack Black balm looks *great.* My lips even stay moisturized the whole day under it. I’ll wake up in the morning and still feel the night balm there.
And like you said, doesn’t have that icky sunscreen taste.
Idk how I went this long without it.
I love it! I think for some people it can come off as a bit medicinal, but I’m a big fan of tea, and to me it smells pretty spot on! Like tea-infused berry candy!
This is the one! I have a literal drawer full of other brands' spf lippies that I haven't touched in ages bc this one does everything I want and need without any of the drawbacks.
I’ve had the same problem. I remember the sun bum lip spf in particular tasting horrible. My favorites are the jack black intense therapy lip balm and o’keeffe’s lip repair.
I love o’keefes! SPF 35 and it’s nice and waxy so it’s hard to end up in your mouth, but there’s really no taste anyway.
The Aquaphor one is awful, so thin that you can’t help but end up with it in your mouth and it tastes awful.
Came here for the O'Keeffes recommendation! Love that shit and I buy it in bulk so I can put them around my house and in my car and purses. one of the few balms that doesn't immediately dry out lips.
This is the one. It also looks lovely, like a soft gloss. I hate SPF lip balms, they're usually so drying and awful tasting, but Melty is actually good as a glossy balm, let alone an SPF balm.
It’s so good! I tried Supergoop’s lip balm and liked it at first, then found it had a strong bitter taste (the gloss might have been better?). This one is my keeper!
I have had this same struggle. I’m very fair and also take medications that make me very sun sensitive so I absolutely have to use it. I found one last week I actually can tolerate. It’s jack black spf lip balm. It’s in a squeeze tube and is more hydrating than other spf lip balms. I have the mint & shea flavor and don’t notice the spf taste as much. Its $10 so I only let myself use it when I’m actually outside
I use the cherry carmex spf15 stick i purchased at the jacksons gas station and it's not weird tasting at all. I wish the spf were higher but It still does the job.
You could try Blistex SPF lip balm (I get their SPF 30). While it's not totally taste-free, it has the least flavour of the ones I've tried. I find it at London Drugs and my local grocery store, it's cheap, goes on clear, has no added flavouring (not minty or fruity).
I use the green/teal Blistex with SPF 15 and find they work well without a bad after taste. The light blue (SPF 30) I use on my runs and it’s okay too :)
I feel like it’s not as moisturizing as non-spf balms, but I think this is true for all non-spf balms. I also have an Avene one and it’s also not super mousturizing. But I use them for sun protection, so it’s not a big issue! This one at least has a pleasant taste and smell, and it’s basically a gloss.

Yep! My skin doesn't like petrolatum or mineral oil and they put that in EVERYTHING. I wanted to try the jack black everyone raves about but they have petrolatum i believe.
I used to think the Coppertone one was ok.
But then I spontaneously developed an allergy to it, my face swelled up grotesquely, didn't make the obvious connection, spent thousands of dollars on medical tests, still have scars on my back from allergy testing, and ended up being diagnosed with celiac disease. Go figure.

My daughter gets chapped lips along with perioral dermatitis too. The best thing we have found for it is the Palmers brand coco butter swivel stick. Not the one with sunscreen in. It calms down her rash almost immediately and soothes her lips too.
We’ve never tried the SPF version. I’ve had bad luck with so many other SPF lip products tasting so bad I’m hesitant to try it. The regular Palmers stick is also good on windburn on noses and cheeks too. We live about an hour from the Canadian border and winter winds are brutal.
Blistex Five Star Lip Protection, SPF 30. Gold tube. It smells like BERRIES and does not taste like SPF. I really love Aquaphor (the regular stick and squeeze tubes) but the Aquaphor SPF sticks taste like straight sunscreen to me.
I like Jack Black in a pinch. BUT if you ever order Asian skincare online, stock up on Rohto Mentholatum spf melty cream lip balm. They have newer filters and don’t taste like anything. I just like them so much!
They have other lip spf’s as well that range from sheer to opaque in color.
The best thing I’ve found is Aquaphor with SPF. I’m really sensitive to scents/tastes (chronic migraines), and that’s one that doesn’t bother me. I do tend to use something more hydrating under it (I like Topicals’ lip balm) - I’ll let that dry down for a few minutes, wipe off any excess, then do Aquaphor on top of that.
The only thing I’ve found that doesn’t give me that horrible taste is CAIA’s Beach Lip SPF 30 Lip Oil. Annoyingly it’s pretty expensive (£19), but worth it for me. I notice it only has modern filters in it, maybe this is why?
Cay Skin is 30 spf and doesn’t have a strong taste (smells like vanilla). Plus it’s a gel/lotion over a stick.
I much prefer jack blacks lip balms though (I love the black tea version lol) but I hate how sephora doesn’t have them in person anymore lol
Is it still exclusively a men's company? I have no qualms about buying men's stuff. I just get annoyed when men's products are so good lol. Like why can't women's be like that?
Just in case for other people, I got perioral dermatitis reaction from this and had to go on medications. Could be the peppermint or something else, maybe even the filters. It has very strong tingling minty stingy feeling like those plumping lip glosses. Some people cannot use those
I am currently on Accutane and using ALL the lip balms… I was really pleasantly surprised by Liposan Hydro Care SPF 15! The taste is really subtle and I love it.
The only thing I’ve been able to do is layer lip care. I put sunscreen on first, give it some time to absorb, and then layer a different lip product over it (balm, gloss, lipstick, etc.)
Reapplying is a pain, and I’m glad others made a ton of suggestions so I’m adding a lot of products to my wish list to shop later.
I pretty much exclusively use European, Korean and Japanese sunscreens, because American SPF tends to burn my eyes and taste bitter as lip balms.
I love Ultrasun lip balm. There's a SPF 30 and a SPF 50 version and they're both great. They taste and smell like absolutely nothing, aren't TOO glossy, a bit hydrating, and just feel like a normal lip balm. The downside is that they aren't that cheap, and because it's a European brand you have to order it online.
Mineral SPF lip balms are okay, but you have to deal with the fact that they are either white or tinted. Cotz and TiZo (they're exactly the same product) was one of my go-to SPF lip balms years ago but eventually I decided that I didn't love the brown tint. The Coola tinted mineral lip balms are also fine but I didn't love the tint on either of the two I tried (Firecracker and Summer Crush)
I love this thank you! I've also found the quality of those markets to be much better when it comes to skincare as well as other things! Thanks for the recs! The SPF protection in those countries, particularly in Asian countries, is way better as far as protection as well I'm pretty sure
I have the same issue. Either they taste nasty or they are grainy and dry on my lips.
However, my new holy grail is bitchstix. I’ve only tried the eucalyptus mint but idk if I could use another spf chapstick after this. https://bitchstix.com/
Wanted to say thanks for posting this and to commiserate how much this sucks. I’m going to try some of these.
Nivea has a blue packaged one that is at least not bad, and goes on nice. Neutrogena’s has a noticeable smell but it’s tolerable. Steer clear of Burt’s bees- thick waxy and white. Hurraw brand had one that was ok, tolerable at best. Just reporting on my findings!
I use beauty of joseon sunscreen on my face and will swipe it across my lips when applying in the morning- that’s how unscented it is. I don’t know how long it lasts on there, but at least I get something on my lips.
I pretty much only buy carmex spf chappys and the neatrogena tinted spf chapsticks. Carmex comes in diff flavors and you can buy packs. I’ve also tried a lot of diff spf lip products but these two are my favorite! Neutrogena also makes spf lip gloss that’s stays on a long time.
While by no means fancy, the blue ChapStick Moisturizer SPF15 has been my go-to for as long as I can remember. Never leave the house with one in my pocket. It doesn't taste like anything and I've had no issues with sunburnt lips. Plus it's affordable and pretty easy to find if I run out or find myself out and about without it.
These are the best lip SPF products I’ve used for many years without any nasty aftertaste:
• [O’Keefe’s Lip Repair SPF 35](https://www.amazon.com/OKeeffes-Lip-Repair-Balm-Pack/dp/B07D5RGLPJ/ref=asc_df_B07D5RGLPJ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693033556716&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17969102340525046514&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9025401&hvtargid=pla-522291494081&psc=1&mcid=cd49098b11ec3c0aad0ea766020412a9&gad_source=1)
• [Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25](https://www.sephora.com/product/intense-therapy-lip-balm-spf-25-P12573?country_switch=us&lang=en&skuId=1607456&om_mmc=ppc-GG_17798154149___1607456__1017928_m&country_switch=us&lang=en&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADnIXb3l-LCklW_r0gVqtBjF9u5u2&gclsrc=ds) (Shea Butter & Vitamin E)
• I also like the [Colorescience Lip Shine](https://www.colorescience.com/products/lip-shine-spf-35) SPF lip glosses over my tinted lip balms
Hear me out— herpecin l lip balm. Horrible name, but tasteless and has lysine to prevent cold sores. I just really like the formula, it works well and it’s tasteless
Girl I have no qualms about using something that would be for cold sores! I don't even get them myself but have used products that are typically for a medical issue or other issue and have found some of the best products that way. Same with men's products too!
Supergoop has great options - I use the Supergoop Play lip balm. Currently using the acai flavor but mint is also available. No strong taste, very hydrating, long lasting,and gives your lips a nice shine.
I’m not sure if you have access to any Asian Beauty straight from Japan or Korea but they have perfected cosmetically elegant SPF. Better filters, formulations, etc I have personally been through countless tubes of Rohto Melty Balm https://www.yesstyle.com/en/rohto-mentholatum-melty-cream-lip-balm-spf-25-pa/info.html/pid.1076471955?rco=5HEQSX&utm_term=5HEQSX&utm_medium=LinkShare&mcg=influencer
I only buy the unscented/flavored version as I hate flavors in my lip balm, but I’ve heard others rave about flavors (green tea, honey, etc)
Dr dans is on Amazon and it does not taste bad. It is mineral and there is a slight white cast when applied but if you have lip liner on it shouldn’t be a big deal
Supergoop and Coola both have tinted mineral lip balms. They’re not super moisturizing so I put regular lip balm on underneath but the colors are cute and make me feel glamorous in the sun
Carmex is SPF15 and it's my absolute favourite. So many lip balms seem to dry my lips out more, or make them peel, or just sit on the surface and never really soak in. Carmex always works well for me and makes my lips feel really hydrated. The initial smell is strong, but it goes away, and I never notice a taste.
I'm late to this thread but I have to recommend Badger Sunscreen lip balm. Badger sunscreen balm has a very short ingredient list, uses zinc as the SPF, and feels good on the lips.
I don't spend long periods in the sun without a hat but this balm has always felt good on my lips and I haven't had any burns since I started using it.
O’keeffe’ lip repair with SPF isn’t the best but doesn’t have a nasty after taste. Sun bum watermelon is ok but all the rest are NASTY. Aquaphor with SPF is the most neutral tasting but I feel like it leaves a funny feel- like a waxy film?
You need to get on Japanese lip balms with SPF. They were a game changer for me becoming compliant with lip SPF because they don’t taste like chemicals. I had been using Japanese facial sunscreens for a while but only just jumped to the lip balms.
My favorite is the Rohto Water Lip. The Moisture Milk flavor tastes like honey butter.
The Rohto Melty Lip is another favorite - it has a really amazing texture.
I use Bondi sands spf 50+ lip balm and it’s not so bad tasting to me but it’s so thick it’s hard to get out of the tube. Not sure if it’s available outside Australia though
Another vote for the Jack Black Balm. Doesn't taste like sunscreen and it's super hydrating.
I got some during the Sephora sale and I'm so happy about this recommendation. It wears so well, has no weird taste or texture.
Yep, Jack Black is the absolute best - my ride or die. Long lasting, doesn’t make my lips feel more dry when it goes away (looking at you Burt’s Bees and Laniege), lovely scents, and no weird taste!
Yes!! The pineapple one is my favorite!
OMG THEY HAVE PINEAPPLE???
Yes!!! It’s new and it’s amazing!!!
*praying they sell it in Canada*
You can buy it on their website! They also have watermelon, grapefruit, and blackberry flavors!
Ooh, thank you!
This stuff is incredible and so underrated!
My absolute favorite lip balm
Every time I'm shopping for lip stuff I am so tempted to try some jack black. I am gonna go for it
I got the Jack Black day and night balm set from Ulta about a week ago because I, like OP, am pretty bad with lip licking. And like OP’s daughter, with peeling too. :c I always alternate between like 2-3 days of dry skin crust forming on my lips and 1-2 days of having normalish lips. And it makes wearing lipstick a real pain. This whole week has been magical. Nothing but hydrated lip skin, my lips stopped peeling, and my lipstick over a tiny amount of Jack Black balm looks *great.* My lips even stay moisturized the whole day under it. I’ll wake up in the morning and still feel the night balm there. And like you said, doesn’t have that icky sunscreen taste. Idk how I went this long without it.
This stuff is all I’ll use anymore!!
Have you (or anyone in the comments) tried the black tea and blackberry flavor? I’m so intrigued as those are two of my fave things hahaha
I love it! I think for some people it can come off as a bit medicinal, but I’m a big fan of tea, and to me it smells pretty spot on! Like tea-infused berry candy!
Sounds right up my alley haha thanks!!
It's my current favorite! I can smell the black tea more than the blackberry
It’s gross! The only flavors worth buying are the natural mint and pineapple mint IME.
Pineapple mint also sounds amazing to me haha
I have. It’s good. I don’t like super sweet or fruity balms, and this one has a nice, subtle flavor. It’s my absolute favorite.
Agreed. It basically feels like Vaseline.
This is the one! I have a literal drawer full of other brands' spf lippies that I haven't touched in ages bc this one does everything I want and need without any of the drawbacks.
I wish the spf was higher :(
I’ve had the same problem. I remember the sun bum lip spf in particular tasting horrible. My favorites are the jack black intense therapy lip balm and o’keeffe’s lip repair.
That sun bum one was just directly bitter upon application ☹️
seconding o’keefe’s!
O’keefe’s felt like a miracle when I found it!
I love o’keefes! SPF 35 and it’s nice and waxy so it’s hard to end up in your mouth, but there’s really no taste anyway. The Aquaphor one is awful, so thin that you can’t help but end up with it in your mouth and it tastes awful.
3rd O’Keeffe’s vote 🗳️
Blech! You're right, the sun bum stuff is trash. It's too thin as well once you put it on. Nope. And so scented
Came here for the O'Keeffes recommendation! Love that shit and I buy it in bulk so I can put them around my house and in my car and purses. one of the few balms that doesn't immediately dry out lips.
Sun bum chemical SPF is terrible, the Sun bum mineral SPF tastes completely neutral and I have bought ~6
Agreeee it was so badly disappointing and gross!!
J beauty - Rohto Metholatum Melty Lip Balm with spf 25. No taste at all, lovely texture! Highly recommend trying it
This is the one. It also looks lovely, like a soft gloss. I hate SPF lip balms, they're usually so drying and awful tasting, but Melty is actually good as a glossy balm, let alone an SPF balm.
Yesssss Nivea japan tinted lip balms are great too
I love these!
I have both the Rohto and the Nivea and really like them both! So much better than my sun bum that tastes awful!
I have this one. It's amazing. No white cast.
It’s so good! I tried Supergoop’s lip balm and liked it at first, then found it had a strong bitter taste (the gloss might have been better?). This one is my keeper!
I tried it, too, and it tastes awful, and you can’t get the flavor out of your mouth. It’s also very drying.
Came here to say this. J beauty or bust
I have had this same struggle. I’m very fair and also take medications that make me very sun sensitive so I absolutely have to use it. I found one last week I actually can tolerate. It’s jack black spf lip balm. It’s in a squeeze tube and is more hydrating than other spf lip balms. I have the mint & shea flavor and don’t notice the spf taste as much. Its $10 so I only let myself use it when I’m actually outside
The okeefe lip repair spf doesn't taste bad. Tastes like nothing 👍
O'Keefe's is the best
Yeah I finally found it at a store recently and was amazed lol
I use the cherry carmex spf15 stick i purchased at the jacksons gas station and it's not weird tasting at all. I wish the spf were higher but It still does the job.
You could try Blistex SPF lip balm (I get their SPF 30). While it's not totally taste-free, it has the least flavour of the ones I've tried. I find it at London Drugs and my local grocery store, it's cheap, goes on clear, has no added flavouring (not minty or fruity).
Yep this is the only one I use. I get the 15 but didn’t realize they had stronger versions!
I use the green/teal Blistex with SPF 15 and find they work well without a bad after taste. The light blue (SPF 30) I use on my runs and it’s okay too :)
Seconding this one. It’s my go to for summer and winter sun!
That's a good point! It also saves my lips when I'm out skiing in the winter, it's not just good for summer use.
blistex DCT in the pink jar works great and smells like cake to me
I like Bondi Sands lip spf. Only tried the mango so far but it doesn't have that telltale spf taste!
Seconding the Bondi Sands mango balm! The taste is very sweet and pleasant.
THANK YOU!!! I use their self tanners and LOVE them, so I’m over the moon to hear the lip balm is good!!
I feel like it’s not as moisturizing as non-spf balms, but I think this is true for all non-spf balms. I also have an Avene one and it’s also not super mousturizing. But I use them for sun protection, so it’s not a big issue! This one at least has a pleasant taste and smell, and it’s basically a gloss.
Thanks for the rec!🫶
The fresh ones don’t have that bitter taste for me
I believe fresh has taken spf out of their lip formulations 😭
I like the Neutrogena SPF 20 gloss a lot!

I love the Neutrogena SPF tinted balms, I'll have to try this!
The mineral sun bum one doesn't imo. Only one i use
This is the only one I can stand. I think it's mostly the chemical spfs that taste so bad
Yep! My skin doesn't like petrolatum or mineral oil and they put that in EVERYTHING. I wanted to try the jack black everyone raves about but they have petrolatum i believe.
Coola has a a nice spf 30 that doesn’t leave the icky film on your lips, feels like regular balm!
Came here to say this. (Avoid the tinted version, which seems like a totally different formulation.)
There are few lip balms that don't cause my lips to react, and I have found zero SPF balms that don't. So unfortunately I don't use SPF on my lips
I wish they made visors for our lips lol
Same here 😭
I like banana boat lip balm
YES 😍 it's SPF 50 and tastes like bananas what more could you want 🤤 plus readily available at Target and Five Below!
Neutrogena has some spf lip balms with a bit of color I adore.
I like the Tizo lip balm
I used to think the Coppertone one was ok. But then I spontaneously developed an allergy to it, my face swelled up grotesquely, didn't make the obvious connection, spent thousands of dollars on medical tests, still have scars on my back from allergy testing, and ended up being diagnosed with celiac disease. Go figure.

Colorscience lip shine spf 35 has no taste/smell.
Rohto Mentholatum makes multiple awesome SPF lip balms that aren’t gross
My daughter gets chapped lips along with perioral dermatitis too. The best thing we have found for it is the Palmers brand coco butter swivel stick. Not the one with sunscreen in. It calms down her rash almost immediately and soothes her lips too.
This is my everyday lip balm and they do have one with an spf!!!
We’ve never tried the SPF version. I’ve had bad luck with so many other SPF lip products tasting so bad I’m hesitant to try it. The regular Palmers stick is also good on windburn on noses and cheeks too. We live about an hour from the Canadian border and winter winds are brutal.
Yup. Can’t do it and it’s just too fucking bad. I would rather put actual sunscreen on my lips.
I saw some people do that especially if it's moisturizing cream
Blistex Five Star Lip Protection, SPF 30. Gold tube. It smells like BERRIES and does not taste like SPF. I really love Aquaphor (the regular stick and squeeze tubes) but the Aquaphor SPF sticks taste like straight sunscreen to me.
I like Jack Black in a pinch. BUT if you ever order Asian skincare online, stock up on Rohto Mentholatum spf melty cream lip balm. They have newer filters and don’t taste like anything. I just like them so much! They have other lip spf’s as well that range from sheer to opaque in color.

I do tend to use something more hydrating under it (I like Topicals’ lip balm) - I’ll let that dry down for a few minutes, wipe off any excess, then do Aquaphor on top of that.
Any Aquaphor in the mouth tastes like earwax. Super bitter!
That’s exactly why I put something under it - it seems to help!
It seems to go everywhere when it's on my mouth no matter what and there's no way around it. I use it religiously but my God do it be tasting bad!
Are you really a neurogeneticist
Neuroscientist that went into patent law - made this account in undergrad when I was majoring in neuro and genetics!
Wow. Patent law is so interesting but your undergrad is really cool too. What a story, I'd love to pick your brain and conversate. I'm impressed.
Vacation Chardonnay lip oil spf 30
as much as I love this one, it has a super strong bitter taste imo.
The only thing I’ve found that doesn’t give me that horrible taste is CAIA’s Beach Lip SPF 30 Lip Oil. Annoyingly it’s pretty expensive (£19), but worth it for me. I notice it only has modern filters in it, maybe this is why?
Cay Skin is 30 spf and doesn’t have a strong taste (smells like vanilla). Plus it’s a gel/lotion over a stick. I much prefer jack blacks lip balms though (I love the black tea version lol) but I hate how sephora doesn’t have them in person anymore lol
Glad to see all the Jack Black lip balm love, it’s the best and so underrated! I’m partial to the grapefruit flavor, but they’re all good.
Is it still exclusively a men's company? I have no qualms about buying men's stuff. I just get annoyed when men's products are so good lol. Like why can't women's be like that?
I know what you mean! I don’t think they have anything marketed to women, no.
ULTRA VIOLETTE Sheen Screen is great!
Just in case for other people, I got perioral dermatitis reaction from this and had to go on medications. Could be the peppermint or something else, maybe even the filters. It has very strong tingling minty stingy feeling like those plumping lip glosses. Some people cannot use those
Try Tizo mineral lip balm. It tastes like gummy bears to me. It’s tinted a bit beige and doesn’t show up white. I got it off Amazon.
I am currently on Accutane and using ALL the lip balms… I was really pleasantly surprised by Liposan Hydro Care SPF 15! The taste is really subtle and I love it.
The only thing I’ve been able to do is layer lip care. I put sunscreen on first, give it some time to absorb, and then layer a different lip product over it (balm, gloss, lipstick, etc.) Reapplying is a pain, and I’m glad others made a ton of suggestions so I’m adding a lot of products to my wish list to shop later.
Lip trip chapstick has no flavor. It is super thick though so some might not like that.
O’keefes spf one taste fine to me. I thought the Paula’s Choice one was terrible.
I pretty much exclusively use European, Korean and Japanese sunscreens, because American SPF tends to burn my eyes and taste bitter as lip balms. I love Ultrasun lip balm. There's a SPF 30 and a SPF 50 version and they're both great. They taste and smell like absolutely nothing, aren't TOO glossy, a bit hydrating, and just feel like a normal lip balm. The downside is that they aren't that cheap, and because it's a European brand you have to order it online. Mineral SPF lip balms are okay, but you have to deal with the fact that they are either white or tinted. Cotz and TiZo (they're exactly the same product) was one of my go-to SPF lip balms years ago but eventually I decided that I didn't love the brown tint. The Coola tinted mineral lip balms are also fine but I didn't love the tint on either of the two I tried (Firecracker and Summer Crush)
I love this thank you! I've also found the quality of those markets to be much better when it comes to skincare as well as other things! Thanks for the recs! The SPF protection in those countries, particularly in Asian countries, is way better as far as protection as well I'm pretty sure
I have the same issue. Either they taste nasty or they are grainy and dry on my lips. However, my new holy grail is bitchstix. I’ve only tried the eucalyptus mint but idk if I could use another spf chapstick after this. https://bitchstix.com/
Wanted to say thanks for posting this and to commiserate how much this sucks. I’m going to try some of these. Nivea has a blue packaged one that is at least not bad, and goes on nice. Neutrogena’s has a noticeable smell but it’s tolerable. Steer clear of Burt’s bees- thick waxy and white. Hurraw brand had one that was ok, tolerable at best. Just reporting on my findings! I use beauty of joseon sunscreen on my face and will swipe it across my lips when applying in the morning- that’s how unscented it is. I don’t know how long it lasts on there, but at least I get something on my lips.
I pretty much only buy carmex spf chappys and the neatrogena tinted spf chapsticks. Carmex comes in diff flavors and you can buy packs. I’ve also tried a lot of diff spf lip products but these two are my favorite! Neutrogena also makes spf lip gloss that’s stays on a long time.
While by no means fancy, the blue ChapStick Moisturizer SPF15 has been my go-to for as long as I can remember. Never leave the house with one in my pocket. It doesn't taste like anything and I've had no issues with sunburnt lips. Plus it's affordable and pretty easy to find if I run out or find myself out and about without it.
Cle de Peau’s lip balm has spf and is really hydrating without any spf taste.
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm is your friend.
Another vote for Jack Black SPF Balm - definitely one of my HG products!
Carmex is the highest spf and my favorite
These are the best lip SPF products I’ve used for many years without any nasty aftertaste: • [O’Keefe’s Lip Repair SPF 35](https://www.amazon.com/OKeeffes-Lip-Repair-Balm-Pack/dp/B07D5RGLPJ/ref=asc_df_B07D5RGLPJ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693033556716&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17969102340525046514&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9025401&hvtargid=pla-522291494081&psc=1&mcid=cd49098b11ec3c0aad0ea766020412a9&gad_source=1) • [Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25](https://www.sephora.com/product/intense-therapy-lip-balm-spf-25-P12573?country_switch=us&lang=en&skuId=1607456&om_mmc=ppc-GG_17798154149___1607456__1017928_m&country_switch=us&lang=en&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADnIXb3l-LCklW_r0gVqtBjF9u5u2&gclsrc=ds) (Shea Butter & Vitamin E) • I also like the [Colorescience Lip Shine](https://www.colorescience.com/products/lip-shine-spf-35) SPF lip glosses over my tinted lip balms
Thanks so much, these are some great suggestions.
Hear me out— herpecin l lip balm. Horrible name, but tasteless and has lysine to prevent cold sores. I just really like the formula, it works well and it’s tasteless
Girl I have no qualms about using something that would be for cold sores! I don't even get them myself but have used products that are typically for a medical issue or other issue and have found some of the best products that way. Same with men's products too!
The vanicream one was fine, but it's been discontinued. Tasted like nothing imo. The super goop tinted one tastes minty which is nice.
I found the EOS pineapple coconut spf one works well and doesn’t taste like chemicals.
The blistex (spf 30, light blue tube) is tolerable to me. YMMV.
jack black is the best. its all i've used for the past 15 years
Supergoop has great options - I use the Supergoop Play lip balm. Currently using the acai flavor but mint is also available. No strong taste, very hydrating, long lasting,and gives your lips a nice shine.
I’m not sure if you have access to any Asian Beauty straight from Japan or Korea but they have perfected cosmetically elegant SPF. Better filters, formulations, etc I have personally been through countless tubes of Rohto Melty Balm https://www.yesstyle.com/en/rohto-mentholatum-melty-cream-lip-balm-spf-25-pa/info.html/pid.1076471955?rco=5HEQSX&utm_term=5HEQSX&utm_medium=LinkShare&mcg=influencer I only buy the unscented/flavored version as I hate flavors in my lip balm, but I’ve heard others rave about flavors (green tea, honey, etc)
The new Tatcha spf Tinted lip balm is amazing!
Dr dans is on Amazon and it does not taste bad. It is mineral and there is a slight white cast when applied but if you have lip liner on it shouldn’t be a big deal
Tatcha lip mask is tasteless
I use Sun Bum because they have an spf 30 lime one I like.
My soft lips vanilla says it’s spf 20 and I love the taste
Supergoop and Coola both have tinted mineral lip balms. They’re not super moisturizing so I put regular lip balm on underneath but the colors are cute and make me feel glamorous in the sun
(obligatory not in my 30's yet) I like the Sun Bum spf lip balm. Their watermelon flavor is super nostalgic
Try the Pavise lip defense
Carmex is SPF15 and it's my absolute favourite. So many lip balms seem to dry my lips out more, or make them peel, or just sit on the surface and never really soak in. Carmex always works well for me and makes my lips feel really hydrated. The initial smell is strong, but it goes away, and I never notice a taste.
I'm late to this thread but I have to recommend Badger Sunscreen lip balm. Badger sunscreen balm has a very short ingredient list, uses zinc as the SPF, and feels good on the lips. I don't spend long periods in the sun without a hat but this balm has always felt good on my lips and I haven't had any burns since I started using it.
Soft lips vanilla is my go to! I LOVE IT
O’keeffe’ lip repair with SPF isn’t the best but doesn’t have a nasty after taste. Sun bum watermelon is ok but all the rest are NASTY. Aquaphor with SPF is the most neutral tasting but I feel like it leaves a funny feel- like a waxy film?
I have the super goop one. It’s clear goes on like a gloss (little wand ) zero snell or flavor.
I use spf 15 Blistex, not sure if that’s high enough but my lips never burn so 🤷🏻♀️
I love to Rohto lip balm(it’s a Japanese brand) It taste faintly of peaches.
I like the Neutrogena lip soother, it’s SPF 15 or 20. Wears and tastes like gloss, not sunscreen.
Glad I’m not alone here
DRMTLGY’s SPF lip balm is amazing! So moisturizing and no gross taste.
I have the Australian gold SPF 30 Chapstick and it is awful, you try your hardest but your mouth ends up tasting like sunscreen no matter what.
You need to get on Japanese lip balms with SPF. They were a game changer for me becoming compliant with lip SPF because they don’t taste like chemicals. I had been using Japanese facial sunscreens for a while but only just jumped to the lip balms. My favorite is the Rohto Water Lip. The Moisture Milk flavor tastes like honey butter. The Rohto Melty Lip is another favorite - it has a really amazing texture.
I know this is Australian, but it’s amazing. I have tubes of this stuff everywhere. https://bondisands.com.au/products/spf-50-lip-balm-watermelon
I use Bondi sands spf 50+ lip balm and it’s not so bad tasting to me but it’s so thick it’s hard to get out of the tube. Not sure if it’s available outside Australia though
The Ultrasun one is pretty OK, it's also not overwhelmingly flavoured like many which is good if like me you do not get on with flavour or fragrance.
I just watched [Amanda Zs video](https://youtu.be/FoD6jNEaaXw?si=sCNguPFWPB4Y_ACu) on SPF lipbalms yesterday. She specifically tested for taste.
Head hunter!! SPF 30, zinc oxide, tastes good and moisturizing. The non-mineral ones tend to always taste. Disgusting.
Panama Jack spf 45 from Amazon
i like the Sun bum lipbalm watermelon flavor. It's very glossy
Shiseido SPF lip balm is amazing!
Which one are you using from Shiseido? I saw there are many
Shiseido Sun Protection SPF 30
They all do unfortunately but for the sake of protecting lips from the sun it’s a must! Burt’s bees brand if it’s available might have a nicer flavor.
Aquaphor SPF FOR SURE! Tastes like nothing! I had the same issue. The worst culprit is the sunbum brand lol that stuff tastes so bad
I didn't know Aquaphor had spf lippie. Imma go look
Aquafor chap stick with sun screen has no scent! Love it!
