Product Overview:
EltaMD UV Daily Peptide Lip Balm SPF 40 is a 100% mineral lip sunscreen designed to hydrate, smooth, and protect dry, chapped, or sun-exposed lips. This nourishing formula pairs broad-spectrum UV defense with restorative moisture support, helping lips feel softer, more comfortable, and better protected throughout the day. With a smooth glide and transparent finish, it delivers daily lip SPF in a format that feels elegant, lightweight, and easy to wear.
Formulated with 12.2% zinc oxide, this broad-spectrum SPF 40 balm helps shield lips from UVA and UVB damage while supporting a gentle, mineral-based approach to sun protection. A 1% hyaluronic acid complex helps attract and retain moisture for softer, more supple lips, while a 3% peptide blend helps visibly smooth and support a fuller-looking appearance. Cocoa butter adds emollient hydration and helps create a comforting barrier for lips that feel dry, cracked, or weather-stressed.
This is an excellent daily option for those who want more than basic lip SPF. In addition to strong mineral protection, the formula is water-resistant for 40 minutes, leaves a non-greasy nourishing finish, and features a subtle mint flavor with no bitter aftertaste. In a 2-week consumer perception study of 180 subjects, 91% agreed it left zero white cast on lips.
