Sun Bum, a personal goods brand that specializes in simple products that protect consumers from the sun, recently came out with a series of tinted SPF lip balms, which come in a variety of neutral and berry-hued shades.
The balms apply with a sheer finish, leaving just a slight tint behind that enhances the shape of the wearer's lips while adding a subtle pop of color. As with the brand's other products, the balms are made without silicones, parabens, and oxybenzone. In addition, they're hypoallergenic and completely cruelty free.
As the balms are water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, they're a great companion for the poolside or beach, but can also be worn at any time of the day to protect the sensitive skin on the lips.
