🩺 Clinical
Rodan and Fields ESSENTIALS Lip Shield is a topical lip balm stick containing four sunscreen active ingredients: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. These ingredients function as ultraviolet (UV) filters and are commonly used together in sunscreen products to help protect skin from UV radiation. This product is formulated as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established rules for sunscreen products rather than being individually approved through a separate application process. The stick form is designed for direct application to the lips.
