What the gurus are saying

This lip balm earns such devotion that both reviewers keep it constantly within reach, as a bedside essential or their top choice over other lip products they have recently tried. The SPF-free version particularly stands out for its vanilla scent and how it feels on the lips, which notably outperforms the SPF formula, especially for anyone with dry skin.

"I've always said Kopari's lip glossy was my absolute favorite. The non SPF version is a vanilla scent instead of coconut and has almost a [...] milky appearance but not in an unpleasant way. [...] I do prefer the feel of the SPF free lip balm and that will always be the case, since I have dry skin."

"The Kopari lip balms are still some of my favorites. This was one of the very lightly tinted ones. I think in the beginning they had a very tinted one that was too emollient to be that tinted, and now they're much more subtle in their tints."

"Kopari Lip Love, I really enjoy this stuff. This was another one I kept on my nightstand, and I've tried a few lip products recently and I've had some stuff that I really like, but now I've tried a few of these and I just love it."

"I really like the Kopari lip balms, they're very glossy finish and I think they have a gloss, very shiny. But these were ones I used to keep on my nightstand too. They didn't, the hydration from these didn't seem to last as long as some of the other ones that are thicker and kind of stay on more."

"Sometimes Kopari sends me PR and honestly I have never really been impressed with any of their products, except there was a lip balm that I rather liked."

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

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.
