It's not easy to find a protective lipstick that also has a high protection of SPF50+, and is pleasant and comfortable on the lips, and also has no aftertaste - but the Bondi Sands lipstick is exactly that!
It is SPF50, and contains 4 chemical UV filters, half new generation and half old generation. Australians are said to have the highest standards in sun protection (Bondi Sands is an Australian company), so I trust it a lot.
Besides the UV filters, it contains softening ingredients that make it balmy such as castor oil, synthetic beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil.
Unfortunately, it also contains 4 fragrance ingredients that can irritate and one more preservative that may irritate (they didn't irritate me personally, but it's important that you know for those who are sensitive).
It has the smell and taste of mango, it exists in other scents like vanilla and strawberry. It is transparent.
Besides protecting the lips from the sun, it also keeps them moisturized during the day.
Its texture is not particularly light, relatively balmy and heavy. What bothered me the most was that sometimes it was difficult to get the product out of the tube. It felt like the product froze on the cold days and I had to really struggle to get it out. I guess in the summer the problem doesn't exist.
I ordered it from ASOS. I saw that there are also on Amazon and Sephora UK.
The brand is cruelty-free 🐰❤️
