6 Brands that Offer Sun Protection for Your Kisser

Sharing is caring!

I might be addicted to lip balm. It’s an issue. Especially since vegan lip balm can be slightly harder to find (many brands contain beeswax) and vegan lip balm WITH SPF?! *Sigh* They’re few and far between, unfortunately, especially if you’d prefer the stuff that’s going on your lips (and, as a result, into your mouth) to be sustainable and non-toxic. Lucky for you, we found a few brands that offer just that (plus are reef-safe)! So stock up, ’cause you’re gonna wanna have a tube for every bag this season!

Need vegan, reef-safe sunscreen, too? We got you covered. Check out this list of our fave sustainable sunscreens.

Vegan Lip Balm with SPF

Attitude Sunly

In addition to being reef-safe sunscreen, the Sunly line from Attitude is also mostly zero-waste, meaning there’s no plastic involved in this packaging; it’s all cardboard. That does mean you might want to stash it in a water-resistant bag during water-based adventures like kayaking, but we’re happy to do so if it means there not more packaging piling up in landfills! These solid lip balms call on non-nano zinc to offer full-spectrum protection and go on super smooth, plus are tinted with a “universal” shade so your mouth doesn’t look white and crusty. They come scented or unscented, too. Love. Find the whole lineup here.

Allez

Hydrating, brightening, sun protective and lightly (and naturally) scented, Allez lip balm may be the most sustainable lip balm on this list. Not only is it vegan, but it’s in a compostable cardboard tube! So it’s zero-waste! Huzzah! On top of that, it contains zero synthetic fragrance, it’s free from alcohol, parabens, sulfates, SLS, SLES, formaldehyde, and phthalates. It doesn’t state how much sun protection it offers, so it’s probably marginal at best, but for at least some protection, order Allez lip balm here.

Stream2Sea Lip Balm

While not packaged in biodegradable materials, these lip balms tubes are made of recycled materials, so that’s a plus. But maybe more importantly, the sustainable, vegan formulations that call on non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are SPF 30+ and designed to protect ocean life and not have to be reapplied every 30 seconds. The Hydrate options are dreamy, but be warned: the SPF options will leave a white cast on your lips. But that’s how you know they’re protected! Find the whole line here!

Sun Bum

This vegan lip balm is completely cruelty-free and features an SPF rating of 30. Plus it comes in a variety of scents. The scents do tend to be a bit aggressive, though, so choose wisely if you’re not a fan of, say, banana. Not all the brand’s products, or even all their lip balms, are vegan, but their original line of lip balm with SPF is, so go nuts. Find Sun Bum lip balm here.

Hurraw! Sun Lip Balm

A vegan lip balm with SPF 15! Hooray! (Or Hurraw?) This option with SPF may only be available in one flavor/scent–tangerine chamomile–but that keeps things simple. It’s made with organic, vegan, and raw ingredients, including zinc oxide for sun protection. So yes, like with most legit sunscreen lip balm, your lips might be a bit whitish after application, but that’s how you know it’s working! We like the slim profile–it fits easily in pockets. Find Hurraw here.

EOS Lip Balm

EOS actually offers several vegan lip balm options that contain sun protection, including The Guardian Sun Protect with SPF 30, which comes in a lipstick-esque tube in Strawberry and coconut scents and a Shea + SPF 15 lip balm in the brand’s classic little egg-shaped container (which is bulky, but easier to locate in an overflowing bag). All are PETA certified.
