What the gurus are saying

One expert praises it as their favorite SPF lip balm, noting the SPF 25 is sufficient since people reapply throughout the day anyway, and they appreciate that it doesn't leave an unpleasant taste. However, another reviewer wasn't impressed enough to feature it in their lip balm roundup, so the takes split here.

"My personal experience with the Jack Black lip balm is like, it's not that great. I wasn't even impressed enough with it to include it in my lip balm video that I just did."

"I love that Jack Black lip balm. I've talked about this for years. It is my favorite SPF lip balm. It's SPF 25. You know, I always want higher, but when it comes to a lip balm, I'm kind of like SPF 25 is great because you're constantly reapplying it anyway. It's not like you're not wiping it with your napkin when you're eating and whatever it is that you do all day long. You're reapplying your lip balm throughout the day, so SPF 25 in a lip balm is fine for me. And it's the only lip balm I've ever used that does not leave a gross taste. It's actually a really pleasant product. I enjoy using it."

Top Pick: spf lip balm

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
