Sun Shades Lip Balm

Jojoba-oil
Helps moisturise your lips and keep them hydrated.

Cocoa Butter,
an edible extract from the cocoa bean, is used to provide protection to your skin.

Vitamin E

Often overlooked before it’s too late, your lips contain very little melanin — the natural skin pigment that blocks the sun’s rays. Sun Shades Lip Balm offers outstanding protection from the elements for your lips.
