Octinoxate in Lip Balm

Efficient UVB absorber with a lightweight, cosmetically elegant texture that doesn't leave a white cast.

In our database, 8 lip balm products contain Octinoxate as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Lip Balm products are applied directly to the lips, where ingredients are ingested through eating and drinking. Daily application leads to detectable blood levels. Mineral sunscreens are preferred for daily use.

Look for lip balm products that use zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxides (supplementary) instead of Octinoxate. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
