5 Lip Sunscreens That Deserve a Spot In Your Bag

Your lips deserve just as much SPF love as the rest of your body. The skin here is thin, delicate, and constantly exposed to the elements, sun included. That means your everyday lip balm should do more than just moisturize: It should protect and feel good enough to wear on repeat.

That’s where a great lip sunscreen comes in. The best ones go beyond the basics: They’re at least SPF 30, offer skincare benefits, and work with your makeup (or no-makeup) routine. Whether you prefer a glowy gloss, a no-fuss balm, or something totally invisible, there’s a Supergoop! formula that fits.

Let’s look at five of our favorite lip sunscreens that cover every kind of vibe, from beachy and bold to chill and sheer.

Glow Gloss SPF 40

This sheer tinted SPF lip balm delivers a high-shine, glossy finish and serious sun protection, all without the stickiness. It’s packed with shea butter and a peptide complex to lock in hydration and help lips look visibly fuller and plumper. 

Glow Gloss comes in three yummy flavors: Vanilla Soft Serve, Pink Peppermint, and Strawberry Spritz. Pick your favorite or rotate through all three depending on your mood.

Great for…

  • Plumping up your pout
  • Adding a little glow to your look

PLAY Lip Balm SPF 30

This liquid SPF lip balm is lightweight and hydrating, with a soft, natural finish. Infused with moisturizing shea butter, it locks in hydration while shielding lips from UVA and UVB rays. The texture is cushiony without feeling heavy, so you can layer it on throughout the day without buildup.

Available in subtle acai and mint flavors, it’s designed to be that everyday balm you actually look forward to reapplying.

Great For…

  • Soothing and nourishing dry lips
  • Low-maintenance routines that still get the job done

PLAY Lip Shield SPF 30

Meet your new adventure buddy. This SPF lip balm is available in three tropical flavors (coconut, strawberry, and mint) that each glide on smoothly with a natural finish and broad spectrum protection. Water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, PLAY Lip Shield is built to keep up with whatever you’ve got planned, from beach hangs to trail walks.

The lightweight formula feels nourishing without being waxy, so it’s easy to apply before and during any outdoor time. Plus, the flavors give it that vacation energy, no matter where you are.

Great for…

  • Sports and outdoor activities
  • Sharing with a partner or friend

Unseen Sunscreen Lip Protector SPF 30

Clear, invisible, and built to protect your pout, this lip sunscreen brings the magic of Unseen Sunscreen to your pout. It’s a 100% invisible balm that glides on with a soft, natural finish. No tint, no shine, no white cast — just lightweight moisture and daily protection.

Our Unseen Lip Protector is the one for people who want lip SPF that doesn’t look like lip SPF.

Great for…

  • Keeping your lip SPF situation invisible
  • When you need something simple

Lipscreen Shine SPF 40

Lipscreen Shine is a non-sticky liquid gloss that adds shine and sun protection to bare lips or lip color. The formula is slick but lightweight, and the doe foot applicator makes it easy to apply (or reapply) on the fly.

Wear it solo for a sleek, glowy finish or swipe it on top of your go-to lip color to add some extra shine. Either way, it’s SPF that plays nice with your look.

Great for…

  • Layering over lipstick
  • Getting that mirror-like finish with hydration to match

The Best Lip Sunscreen Is the One You’ll Actually Wear

You’ve got sunscreen for your face and your body, but what about your lips? They deserve the same level of suncare year-round. The key is finding lip sunscreen that feels good, looks good, and gets along well with the rest of your skincare routine. 

From glossy finishes to invisible balms, Supergoop!’s lip SPF lineup makes daily protection easy and enjoyable. Whether you love a little glow or like to keep things simple, just swipe it on and stay soft, smooth, and sun-protected.
