Product Overview
Hampton Sun SPF 30 Mineral Moisture Lip Balm combines daily lip care with broad-spectrum mineral sun protection. The formula uses 8% non-nano Zinc Oxide to help protect delicate lip skin from UVA and UVB exposure while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel.
Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil provide emollient care for lips that feel dry, tight or exposed to the elements. These conditioning ingredients help soften the lip surface and support lasting moisture without a heavy or sticky finish.
The compact balm has a sheer finish, a lightweight cushioned glide and a natural lemon flavor. Its water- and sweat-resistant formula makes it a practical everyday essential for travel, outdoor activities and regular sun protection.

Texture and Experience
The balm glides over the lips with a lightweight, silky and cushioned feel. It leaves a smooth, sheer finish without an opaque cast or a thick waxy sensation.
A subtle natural lemon flavor gives the application a fresh finish, while the fragrance-free formula remains comfortable for everyday wear.
Care Step
Use as the protective lip-care step within the morning skincare routine and throughout the day as directed. Pair it with a broad-spectrum facial sunscreen to help protect commonly overlooked areas from daily UV exposure.

Professional Recommendation
Lip protection is easy to overlook during a facial SPF routine. Keep this balm accessible for daytime touch-ups and combine it with appropriate sunscreen for the face, neck and other exposed areas.
This formula contains Sweet Almond Oil. Individuals with nut allergies should check the full ingredient list with their own healthcare professional before use. For a dependable routine, keep the balm with your daily essentials, use it as the protective lip step, follow the label directions, pair it with facial SPF, replace it if the texture or scent changes, and seek professional advice when sensitivity is a concern.
Safety Information
Apply the balm generously and evenly across the whole lip surface about 15 minutes before sun exposure, and carry it slightly past the lip line where skin is just as exposed. Reapply at least every two hours, and always after swimming, towel drying, or sweating, since the water- and sweat-resistant finish does not last all day. Because a lip product wears off as you eat and drink, reapply after meals and after anything you sip. Sun protection works alongside shade, a wide-brimmed hat, and covering clothing, not in place of them. Keep the balm out of your eyes; if any gets in, rinse thoroughly with water. This is a topical balm and is not meant to be swallowed, so blot rather than lick your lips after applying, and keep it away from small children. Stop use and check with a healthcare professional if sensitivity or irritation develops.
Not recommended for:
- Anyone with a nut allergy: this formula contains Sweet Almond Oil. If nut allergies are a concern, check the full ingredient list with your own healthcare professional before use.
- Children under 6 months of age.
- Broken, cracked, or bleeding lips, or an active cold sore.
- Anyone who reacts to Zinc Oxide, beeswax, soybean oil, or any listed inactive ingredient.
- Use as a substitute for shade, a hat, or sensible time limits in strong midday sun.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do lips need their own SPF?
Lip skin is thin and has very little natural pigment to shade it, and most people stop their facial sunscreen at the edge of the mouth because the texture and taste of a face formula are unpleasant there. A dedicated balm is the practical way to cover the gap, and it stays comfortable enough that you will actually keep using it.
How often should I reapply it?
At least every two hours of sun exposure, and again after swimming, towel drying, or sweating. On top of that, reapply after every meal, snack, and drink, because eating and drinking take a lip product off faster than anything else. On a full beach day that usually means far more often than you would reapply on your face.
Can I wear it under or over lipstick?
Yes. Apply the balm first and let it settle for a minute, then add color on top. For reapplying during the day, it is simpler to take the color off and put the balm on directly, since a thin film over lipstick will not give you an even layer of protection.
Does it leave a white cast, and does the lemon flavor mean fragrance?
The balm has a sheer finish and is not intended to look opaque on the lips. The natural lemon note is a flavor rather than an added fragrance, and the formula itself is fragrance-free.
When should I replace it?
Replace the balm if the texture, color, or scent changes, and start fresh after an illness rather than reusing the same stick. Keep it out of a hot car, since heat softens the wax base and changes how it applies.
