Our superstar Alpine Rose helps to protect against cold sores and speed up healing.

FAQ
The most asked questions from our Customers
Can I use Lip Shield under lipstick?
Yes - it makes a great protective base. If you want to use a lip stain or liner, we advise using that product first, then layering over the lip balm and then following with gloss if required.
Peri- and menopause is making my lips dry - will Lip Shield help?
Yes. As reported in the scientific literature, the reduction of oestrogen in peri- and menopause can lead to dryness of the lips. Skin may in some cases become more sensitive to UV. Daily UV protection & the oils within lip shield can helpful to protect the skin against UV damage & dryness.
I get cold sores a few times a year and always on holiday - can lip shield help?
Yes. UVA exposure of unprotected lips can cause a degree of stress & inflammation within the cell, this depresses the local immunity of the tissue – allowing the dormant Herpes simplex virus to activate and a cold sore to appear.
Tiredness, stress & high UV (when you go on holiday) can trigger an outbreak.
Broad spectrum protection, specifically protecting against UVA, can reduce the risk of a cold sore developing (SPF30 or even SPF50 will not help if it is not broad spectrum) which is why lip shield protects against both UVA & UVB and harnesses alpine rose which is strongly anti-viral.
Will Lip Shield protect my lip filler or lip blush?
Yes. Scientific studies and doctors have indicated, Lip Filler can degrade more quickly when exposed to daily UV and lip blush will fade faster.
Using daily UV protection, under your favourite lipstick or gloss, or on its own will support the longevity of the filler and/or colour and is strongly advised.
My acne medication has made my lips so dry & sore - can lip shield help?
Yes. The scientific literature reports that severe dryness is an unwelcome and very common side effect of acne medication, with 97% of patients suffering, and this is often related to the skin becoming more sensitive to the sun. Broad-spectrum UV protection helps to protect the skin and may help to ease skin dryness. Consult with your doctor/dermatologist for advice.
Love this lip balm! I’ve been using it for quite a while now, initially bought from a local skin clinic but now buy on line. Great service, beautiful packaging and a lovely personal touch. Definitely recommend to anyone!
I like product but thought there would be more colouring in the lipsticks.
Thank you for taking the time to review. Sorry you were not happy with the colour. As per the description they are sheer lip balm tints so give a wash of colour rather than a strong colour pay-off you would get from a lipstick. If you would like more colour whilst still benefiting from the nourishing ingredients and UV protection, a great option is to apply a lip stain, lip liner or blot a highly pigmented lipstick on first and then layer the SPF balm over the top - the balm blends beautifully with other lip products and many of our customers enjoy using this way
5 purchase, I have also bought for my friends in past. Swear by it, for natural colour, easy to use with additonal peace of mind that it is protecting my lips
In my opinion this is just way over priced. I wish I hadn’t fallen for the hype.
The color tint doesn’t really show and it’s just a lip balm which I was daft enough to pay so much for when there are plenty of cheaper alternatives.
I would also prefer it not to have any smell/taste. My mistake….
Thank you for taking time to review, I am sorry you are not happy with the balm. Our balms are a sheer tint so they don't offer the intense colour payoff of a lipstick, but you can layer over the top of a lip liner or stain if you want more colour. Our price point reflects the quality of the formula, unlike standard cheaper alternatives who just use wax and a few oils in a basic formula that only helps with comfort and hydration; we include Maxi-lip peptide to support collagen, Alpine Rose to help prevent cold sores, full broad spectrum UV protection to reduce photo-ageing and protect the skin against lip cancers, and 10 botanical oils to provide anti-oxidants, omegas 3,6, 7 and 9, and vitamins for long term skin health, hydration & nourishment. Please be reassured the balm will protect and support your lips offering far more benefits than a standard balm
It's the perfect travel companion with beautiful shades of sunprotection.
