The most important ingredients

Broad-spectrum protection

This product protects against UVA and UVB radiation — both key drivers of premature skin ageing and sunburn.

Function: Sun protection

Hyaluronic acid

A molecule produced by the body that can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

Function: Can intensively supply the skin with moisture, plump up fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier.

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids - signalling molecules for the skin.

Function: Can support resilience and skin structure, ease wrinkles and firm the skin.

Vitamin E

Fat-soluble antioxidant - protects the cell membranes and works synergistically with vitamin C.

Function: Can neutralise free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effect of vitamin C.

Application

Apply directly to the lips - like a lip gloss. The glossy finish can be worn over or without lipstick.

Reapply as needed, especially after eating or drinking. The integrated SPF 35 protects the sensitive lip skin from UV radiation.

Frequently asked questions

Why do lips need sun protection?

Lips have almost no melanin - the natural UV protection. They burn faster. The Lip Shine combines SPF 35 with a moisturising balm formula so protection and care happen in one step.

How does Lip Shine differ from regular lipstick?

Lip Shine is a balm, not a stick - hyaluronic acid and peptides actively supply moisture to your lips. Regular lipstick covers and colours; Lip Shine protects, cares and adds a subtle shine.

Can lips really get sunburned?

Yes. Lips have no melanin - your natural UV protection. They are therefore significantly more susceptible to sunburn than the rest of your face. Cracked lips after sun exposure are often a sign of sunburn, not just dehydration.

How often do I need to reapply Lip Shine?

Every two hours or after eating and drinking - like any lip protection. SPF 35 is water resistant, but eating removes it. One touch-up after lunch is enough for the rest of the day.

Are peptides effective in a lip balm?

Yes, but differently from creams. Lip balms work on the surface - the moisturising and supporting effect of the peptides and hyaluronic acid keeps lips plump and supple. Structural changes in the lip tissue take consistent use over several weeks.

About the brand

Colorescience specialises in mineral sunscreen - from tinted fluids and powder brushes through to lip care with SPF. Because the products filter in a purely mineral way, they sit on top of the skin rather than penetrating into it. This makes them particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin or skin prone to redness. Many products combine UV protection with a light tint, so that you take care of skincare and make-up in one step.
