TiZO® LipTect FPS 45

TiZO LipTect SPF 45 is a mineral sunscreen balm developed for the thinnest skin on the lips, nose and ears. It combines Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection without chemical sunscreens, fades to a natural skin tone for an invisible finish, and is moisturizing and photostable. The 4.5 g stick is free from chemical filters, preservatives, oils, gluten, dyes, lanolin and PABA.

Yes. LipTect is described as safe even for sensitive skin and excellent for the thin, delicate areas most sunscreens miss: lips, nose and ears. It suits anyone who spends time outdoors, skis, runs or simply wants daily lip protection. It is free from gluten, lanolin, dyes, oils, preservatives and PABA, which matters if you react to any of those. No one group is told to skip it.

Apply LipTect directly to the lips, and to the nose and ears if you like, and reapply as needed. It glides on like a lip balm and fades to a natural skin tone, so there is no white cast to blend. Reapply after eating, drinking or wiping your mouth and whenever you top up your face sunscreen. It is simple enough to keep in a pocket or bag for daily use.

LipTect is a 4.5 g stick, a standard lip balm size. TiZO does not say how many applications it gives, and that depends on how many areas you cover and how often you reapply. With daily lip use and regular reapplication, expect it to last a few months. The protection and the moisturizing feel are immediate, so judge it on comfort and finish from the first swipe.

LipTect fills the gap your face sunscreen leaves, so pair it with a TiZO facial SPF such as AM Replenish, TiZO2, TiZO3 or Ultra Zinc, or the Mineral Stick for touch-ups on cheeks and nose. Apply your face sunscreen first, then LipTect to the lips, nose and ears. It also sits well under lipstick or gloss, giving a protected base before colour.

LipTect is formulated to be gentle, but patch test if you have very reactive skin. Do not apply to broken or chapped-raw skin, and stop if irritation develops. Like all sunscreens it should be reapplied regularly, especially after eating or drinking. On intense sun days, combine it with a hat and shade. If you are using it on a child, follow the general guidance to ask a doctor for infants under 6 months.

LipTect lists flavour and ginger root oil among its ingredients, so expect a light, natural taste rather than a heavy fragrance. It contains Iron Oxide for a hint of colour that fades to your natural skin tone, so it looks invisible rather than tinted. The texture is a moisturizing balm built on sunflower seed wax, designed for easy daily application without greasiness.
