Lip sunscreen with zinc oxide: 13 mineral lip balms, glosses and lipsticks filed with the FDA in 2026, from SPF 15 to SPF 60
The FDA's drug directory has 89 listings for lip products with sunscreen active ingredients whose listing starts between January 1 and September 23, 2026. 37 of those listings, for 13 products, use only mineral filters: zinc oxide, and in one product zinc oxide with titanium dioxide.
The highest SPF among the 13 is Ciele's lip and PROTECT Lipstick at SPF 60, with zinc oxide 15%. Next come Stream2Sea's Sport Lip Balm at SPF 50, with zinc oxide 20%, and ULTRABUDR's Mineral Lip Sunscreen at SPF 45. The Stream2Sea balm was not on its brand's store on September 23.
Seven of the 13 were on sale on their brands' own US stores on September 23, from $11.99 for fmg's Cashmere Lip Glaze at Avon to $36.00 for Odacite's SPF 40 Nourishing Lip Serum. The other 52 listings use chemical filters, and 10 of them still list oxybenzone.
We report what the labels, the FDA listings and the stores say. We do not describe what any filter or ingredient does, and we do not rate the products.

Why 37 listings are 13 products
The directory counts every listing separately, and three of the brands have two companies listing the same product. Ciele's seven shades are each listed twice, by LE Cosmetics Inc and by Delicate Cosmetics Inc, both on May 7, 2026. TIRTIR's four shades are listed by COSMAX USA on March 6 and by TIRTIR USA on March 12. COSMAX USA also lists Norwex's Hazelnut Lip Glaze, on March 6; the Rose shade is listed by Norwex USA, on August 1.
The other listings start on these dates: Odacite on March 3, VRC and SOjO on March 19, Good Weather on March 31, ULTRABUDR on April 3, Lauren Brooke on April 30, Stream2Sea on June 18, fmg on July 1, EltaMD on July 9 and the unbranded balm on August 6, 2026.
Stream2Sea lists its three flavors, Naturally Naked, Cucumber Mint and Cherry Vanilla, under one listing. Our Stream2Sea page covers that balm and the brand's two other 2026 filings.
Which ones allow for swimming or sweating
Three of the 13 labels give a water-resistance time. Stream2Sea's directions say to reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and EltaMD's after 40 minutes. ULTRABUDR's carton artwork says water resistant for 80 minutes, although the text version of its label tells you to use a water-resistant product if swimming or sweating.
The TIRTIR, Norwex, fmg, Ciele, Good Weather and Odacite labels tell you to use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.

Eight of these products list octinoxate, and two list oxybenzone: Tesalova's Coconut Lip Balm and the nine flavors of LS Promotions' Lip Balm with SPF 15. Lale's Luxe Gloss lists zinc oxide 8% and titanium dioxide 6% alongside octocrylene and octisalate, so it is not among the 13 mineral products.
Vacation's two listings are both called Vacation Lip Balm, but the label artwork shows two products: in January a Pepsi Wild Cherry tinted lip gel, and in March a Coco-Vanilla lip balm, both SPF 30 in 15 mL. The Trader Joe's balm, listed on September 21 by Weckerle Cosmetics, has no SPF in its listing name; its label artwork says SPF 30, in 0.17 oz (4.8 g).

Checked 2026-09-23. Prices and stock change. We did not work out the total with shipping. Norwex's site search found no lip glaze, and Stream2Sea's store had no Sport Lip Balm.
What we could not confirm
- Whether Norwex's Lip Glaze is sold anywhere. A search of norwex.com for lip glaze found no match.
- Whether the Lip Colour on Lauren Brooke's store, $17.50, is the SPF version listed with the FDA. The store page does not mention SPF, and the filed label does not state an SPF number.
- Who sells VRC, SOjO and the unbranded zinc oxide balm in the US. We did not look for sellers.
- Prices and stock for the 52 non-mineral listings.
- Whether any lip product was listed under a name without lip, balm, gloss or lipstick in it. We searched for those four words.
