Best Moisturizing Lip Balm With SPF: Coola Liplux Original Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Lip Balm

When you’re simultaneously looking for sun protection and treating chapped lips, you can’t go wrong with Coola’s organic formula. The mineral sunscreen blocks UV rays with zinc oxide but also boasts emollients like shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil.

Still, our testers say it’s nice and lightweight—not at all sticky. “It’s not at all waxy like your average lip balm, but it’s not greasy either,” says Earley. “And importantly, there’s absolutely no white cast.”

Type: Mineral / SPF: 30 / Active ingredient: Zinc oxide / Water-resistant: Yes. 80 minutes / Applicator: Stick

Best Drugstore Lip Balm With SPF: Aquaphor Lip Protectant + SPF Lip Balm

Aquaphor’s balm is another product that garnered praise from multiple dermatologists, particularly for its excellent overall value. The drugstore pick is one of the most reliably hydrating, thanks to an ingredient list complete with skin nourishers including shea butter, vitamin E, and castor seed oil, says Dr. Brauer. Dr. Castilla adds, “It’s highly occlusive, works well for very, very dry lips, and gives a glossy finish—all at an affordable price point.”

“I’ve been using this lip balm for as long as I can remember,” says Earley. “Sure, it’s a little bit greasy upon application, but it’s not at all sticky, and there’s really nothing that compares when it comes to hydration.”

Type: Chemical / SPF: 30 / Active ingredients: Avobenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene, oxybenzone / Water-resistant: No / Applicator: Tube
