Benefits:

🌞 Sun Protection

• SPF 15 UV defense: Helps protect the delicate skin of the lips from harmful sun exposure, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term UV damage.

💧 Moisturisation

• Hydrates and softens: Emollients like oils and butters help lock in moisture, keeping lips soft, smooth, and supple.

• Prevents dryness and chapping: Regular use helps reduce roughness and cracking, especially in dry or sunny conditions.

🍓 Soothing & Comfort

• Aloe vera & nourishing oils: Provide soothing relief to irritated or sensitive lips, reducing redness and discomfort.

• Vitamin E & antioxidants: Support lip skin health by protecting against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.

💄 Everyday Wear

• Lightweight & pleasant flavour: The strawberry scent makes it enjoyable to use daily, while the compact 4 g size is easy to carry in a pocket or purse.

• Protective barrier: Beeswax and butters create a thin layer that helps shield lips from wind and environmental dryness.

🧴 What It Is:

This is a strawberry‑flavoured SPF 15 lip balm designed to moisturise, protect, and soothe dry lips with added UV protection — ideal for everyday wear in sunny conditions. SPF 15 helps guard lips from harmful UVA/UVB rays that can cause dryness, burning, and premature ageing.

💧 Hydration & Protection:

Products like this typically combine emollient oils and butters (such as sweet almond oil, beeswax, shea butter and cocoa butter) with an SPF filter like octyl methoxycinnamate to retain moisture and shield lips from sun exposure. 
Aloe vera extract — common in this range — helps soothe and calm irritated or chapped lips.

🍓 Everyday Use:

• Apply liberally before sun exposure and reapply throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking — SPF products work best when reapplied regularly.

• The light strawberry flavour and smooth texture make it easy to use daily.

🛡️ Ideal For:

• Daily life in sunny climates (e.g., outdoor work, travel, beach days).

• People prone to dry, flaky, or sensitive lips who want basic SPF protection and moisture.

• Those who prefer flavoured lip care with soothing ingredients like aloe.

🧪 Important To Know:

• SPF 15 offers moderate protection — if you’ll be in intense sun for long periods (like at the beach midday), a higher SPF or additional protective measures (hat, shade) is advisable.

• Always check the packaging for exact ingredients and warnings before use, and discontinue if irritation occurs.

• SPF lip balms should be reapplied frequently for best protection, especially after eating or drinking.
