Why Switch to Numbrrrz?

Jack Black Lip Balm has earned a reputation as a premium men's lip care product, and its SPF 25 protection is genuinely useful. But at roughly $8 per single tube, you are paying a luxury brand premium for a formula with 15-20 ingredients including several synthetics. Numbrrrz delivers premium organic quality at about $4 per tube (in the 3-pack), with a radically simpler formula that is often more effective for daily moisture and protection. For the price of one Jack Black tube, you can get nearly an entire 3-pack of Numbrrrz. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 contains avobenzone, octinoxate, and oxybenzone as active sunscreen ingredients, followed by a long list of inactive ingredients including polybutene, ethylhexyl palmitate, C10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters, squalane, and various botanical extracts. The SPF protection is real and valuable for outdoor use, but oxybenzone in particular has drawn significant concern — it has been detected in human breast milk, linked to coral reef damage, and banned in Hawaii and Key West for marine use. For a lip balm you apply multiple times daily, that is a lot of chemical UV filter going on your lips and potentially being ingested in small amounts. Numbrrrz keeps it simple: organic coconut oil, organic jojoba oil, beeswax, and vitamin E — every ingredient pulling its weight without controversy. Jack Black deserves credit for getting men to take lip care seriously. Their brand made it acceptable for guys to carry and use lip balm. But the premium pricing is about brand positioning in the men's grooming space, not about ingredient quality. Numbrrrz is gender-neutral, certified organic, and more affordable — and for daily lip care without SPF needs, the four-ingredient approach outperforms a 20-ingredient cocktail. If you want SPF for outdoor days, layer a dedicated SPF lip product over your Numbrrrz. For everything else, simpler is genuinely better.
