This Not That: Ultra Violette Sheen Screen SPF 50 Lip Balm

I’ve shared before that skin cancer runs in my family, so SPF is non-negotiable for me — even in my makeup. I love finding products that layer sun protection into my everyday routine without compromising on quality.

One area people often forget? Eyes and lips. Kyda’s SPF concealer has been a game-changer for my under-eye coverage and protection. I also love their SPF blush, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me as a lip product — I’m more of a classic gloss or balm kind of girl.

I used to swear by Ultra Violette’s lip SPF, but with recent questions around the validity of their SPF claims, I’ve been reevaluating my go-tos. That’s when I found Cay — and wow. 😍

This balm has a slight stickiness (just being honest!), but the shine is chef’s kiss. It gives that juicy, glassy finish that looks amazing solo or layered over a lip tint. Plus, it actually feels protective — not just pretty.

If you’re looking for a lip product that’s both functional and fabulous, this one’s worth checking out.
