Nivea

Rich Care & Color Lip Balm SPF 20 PA++

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

Nivea Rich Care & Color Lip Balm SPF 20 PA++ is a Japanese-market lip balm that offers better SPF protection without the taste or texture issues common in US SPF lip products. Laura Lavigne notes that US SPF lip balms either have a chemical sunscreen taste or a thick, cakey mineral sunscreen with white cast, but Japan's advanced filters avoid these problems. Amanda Z spotted these balms as a favorite Japanese beauty product, available in shades like smoky rose and raspberry pink.

MENTIONSVariant: Smoky RoseRich Care & Color Lip Balm SPF 20 PA++
  • “The problem with SPF lip balms or SPF lip products in the United States are it's like there's one of two issues in my opinion. If it's a chemical sunscreen, you can taste it. And that chemically sunscreen taste, I feel like I can just taste it in my mouth all day if I have it on my lips”21:52–21:59
  • “You have a mineral sunscreen and it feels really really thick and cakey and you get that white cast on your lips and I just don't like it”
  • “Because Japan has those more advanced sunscreen filters, they have better lip care products with SPF”22:27–22:34
