my general thoughts are that lip balm is greasy, but wearing it is preferable to having chapped and burned lips. here's all the lip balms i've tried.
if i still don't like the taste or feel of a lip balm after a few tries, i end up using it on my hands, elbows, and knees, where i would normally use balms. this works for me due to my eczema-prone skin needing constant moisture, and having that moisturiser be sun protective as well is a huge bonus to me.
cancer council ultra sunscreen lip balm spf50+ 4g
a mild sweet-smelling stick balm, slightly minty feel. doesn't feel too waxy on the lips, helped by the fact that it absorbs/dries down fast. this is probably the baseline i compare other lip balms against.
oxx skincare spf50+ ultra protection lip balm 4g
a stick balm that smells like vanilla. no particularly strong feelings about it but it is convenient due to being cheap and my current go-to.
blistex ultra lip balm spf50+ 4.25g
another stick balm. smells a little like burnt sugar, tastes vaguely sweet but not intrusively so.
dermal therapy lip balm spf50+ 10g
much more of a goop than a wax. smells and feels a bit minty, with a mild sweetness to it.
bondi sands lip balm with spf50+ 10g
i like the variety in taste, but it is very sweet and thick. over time it can start to feel a bit grainy coming out of the tube. i have vanilla, watermelon, and strawberry.
sunsense lip balm spf50+ 15g
much more neutral in taste, and smells very much like regular face sunscreen.
