🩺 Clinical
Blistex Five Star Lip Protection is a topical lip balm stick marketed as an over-the-counter sunscreen product under FDA's OTC monograph rules. It contains three UV-filtering compounds (homosalate, octisalate, and avobenzone) that are commonly used together to absorb and block ultraviolet radiation across different wavelengths. Dimethicone, a silicone-based ingredient, functions as an emollient to soften and protect the lip surface. This combination is typically used to help protect lips from sun exposure.
