Most Helpful Positive Review Great to have SPF in a lip balm I am someone who has lip balm in my pocket or in my purse on me at all times. I have noticed that many brands make lip balms that I like, but that dont have any SPF in them. As someone who lives in Southern California and is outside in the sunshine on an almost daily basis, I really need something that protects my lips from the sun, just like I protect my skin. This lip balm is very moisturizing, and it smells and tastes good. It does not seem quite as thick as a Burt's Bees pomegranate or coconut lip balm, but does seem to last about the same length of time despite not feeling quite as thick. This also seems to be a slightly smaller tube than many other lip balms I have, and so it may be less actual balm than others. I personally like the thicker feeling, and have another brand that combines the thicker feeling with SPF, so I did not rank this 5 stars, but it is something that I will continue to use, and may even repurchase if anything changes with my current favorite. All in all, I think this is a very good lip balm, especially if you are someone that prefers to have a thinner feeling lip balm.
Most Helpful Critical Review Average This is an average balm. I have both scents and although they both have pleasant aromas, they just are not conditioning enough for my needs. This is also a thinner balm, and I cannot seem to build it up to a thicker consistency. It doesn't pill underneath lip gloss or lipstick, which is nice, and it does have a nice slip. Maybe this needs more shea butter and less wax? There are better balms out there. Also, PLEASE NOTE: This balm does NOT contain SPF. Other reviewers are correct. If you are looking for a balm with SPF, you'll need to look elsewhere.

For a lip balm, it should be tasty.
My favorite! 5

I love this chapstick! It smells amazing and keeps your lips super moisturized and soft
A great and affordable lip product! 5
Dani from Wyoming
This is one of my new go-to winter lip products. I got the ocean mint flavor and it's a nice sweet, subtle mint taste. It doesn't have the menthol tingle that many mint products have, which I personally do not enjoy. It is long lasting and I don't find myself having to constantly re-apply.
Do not buy. 1

This balm has a chemical scent. Does not apply well to lips.

I found this chapstick and have not turned back since I found it. The banana is my favorite and reminds me of the beach.

Love!! 5
Domi from Undisclosed
I got this and a lot of other Sun Bum products from my SO's mom as a gift basket. I love this ocean mint! I'm not usually a fan of minty lip balms, but this one feels so smooth and keeps my lips hydrated! I can't decide between the Bana cream or this one! I have the Groovy cherry in my cart right now ready to purchase. Thank you Sun Bum for your amazing products!

I really like the product but i received one lip balm that had a broken top. My only recommendation would be an Improvement to packaging.

I like the minty tingle and my lips stay soft & hydrated all day! I also bought the Groove Cherry and love it!! My husband even liked that over the Mint!
Sweet minty smoothness 5
Megan from Undisclosed
Smooth application. Sweet mint scent that is not overwhelming and does not burn. Plus the packaging reminds me of the ocean. I love it!
Obsessed, I will be purchasing backups 5

This is probably one of the best chapsticks I've ever used. The consistency Is perfect, the people in the reviews are wrong when they say it's waxy. An example of a waxy chapstick would be the original Burts bees. This is nothing like that, it's a thicker consistency compared to Carmex or something but its far from waxy. The smell of the mint one isn't very strong but it smells kinda reminiscent of a MAC lipstick to me, which I love because it feels very nostalgic. I will be purchasing more and I'm looking forward to trying all of them!
So smooth lovee 5

Nasty 1
C from Usa
I got the banana one and it smells disgusting. Nothing like banana. The cherry one is okay but overall the formula is pretty garbage for the price.
Ok but bad taste. 1
ChelleBelle from Illinois
I'm not saying chapsticks are for eating lol, but if no sweet flavor at least nothing at all. This chapstick has a sour chemical taste. It doesn't smell bad and does leave lips soft, no stickiness but I can't get past the sour taste. This one is NOT if.
Not impressed 1
Kkohl15 from Carbondale, IL
It's honestly no different than the chapstick you purchase at the drugstore for 99 cents. The more you use, the more you need.
I did not care for it 1
FragranceFreakazoid from South Carolina
I bought this so I could use it on my lips while kayaking. I didn't care for the texture, super waxy feel and zero taste zero banana cream scent. Is it old or is it just like this? A zero for me.
I thought this product added color to lips - It didn't. 2
Gwen from Asotin, WA
It works great as a moisturizer. No color though.
I love it 5

Best Balm Ever 5
Elliott from Colorado
I've been absolutely miserable with Covid for the past few days. My lips have gotten terribly chapped and cracked and overall in awful condition. This has become an absolute must to keep in my pocket or by my bedside.
Fantastic Lip Balm 5
Hannah from FL
Awesome lip balm. I have one of every flavor except one, and they all smell and feel great. This is not the best lip balm for reviving super damaged lips, but it's a great moisturizing balm for everyday use. Only complaint is that it can sometimes feel greasy on the lips, but this is rare.
Smells Great! 3
Poor chapped lips from Chicago, IL
I prefer this product in the summer. It protected my lips in the Miami sun, but is ok in this Chicago weather. It does smell good (banana).

I love trying the many scented chapsticks sun bum carries. So far my favorites are the banana, strawberry and coconut ones . Love this product!
