Thank Me Later Natural Lip Balm SPF25 Rosewater 10g
Description
Description
Classic vegan lip balm with SPF25 and rosewater
The lips are among the thinnest and most vulnerable skin on the body. They lack their own sebaceous gland protection and are therefore extra sensitive to dehydration, cold, and — often underestimated — UV radiation. Yet lip skin is almost always forgotten in a daily SPF routine, while pigmentation spots, fine lines around the mouth, and cracks become visible there the fastest.
The Thank Me Later Natural Lip Balm in Rosewater combines nourishing plant oils with a mineral SPF25 based on zinc oxide. The formula is completely vegan (candelilla wax instead of beeswax), pH-neutral, and 98% natural origin. Coconut oil, apricot kernel oil, and aloe vera extract hydrate and soothe, while the subtle rose scent gives the balm a timeless, feminine character.
Scent: Soft floral rose scent — refined, classic, and elegant without being sweet or overpowering.

Active ingredients
Zinc Oxide (non-nano): A mineral UV filter that reflects rather than absorbs. The particles used are non-nano, meaning they cannot penetrate the skin. Zinc oxide is photostable and recommended by dermatologists as a safe filter for sensitive lip skin.
Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil): Forms the base of the formula. Thanks to its unique fatty acid composition, coconut oil is excellently absorbed by the thin lip skin and immediately provides a soft, supple feeling. Soothes chapping and cracks without leaving a thick, heavy layer.
Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil): Rich in vitamins A and E. Prevents excessive moisture loss, supports the natural flexibility of the lips, and helps counter redness and flaking. One of the mildest nourishing oils, suitable for reactive lip skin.
Castor oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil): Gives the balm its typical soft shine and helps active ingredients penetrate deeper into the lip skin. Supports the skin’s regenerative ability and makes the lips visibly smoother.
Candelilla wax & rice bran wax: Two plant-based waxes that together support the balm’s structure as a vegan alternative to beeswax. They keep the formula stable, provide a silky soft feel, and help the protection stay longer on the lips.
Aloe vera extract & vitamin E: Aloe vera soothes and naturally contains B vitamins, vitamin C, and E. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and protects the lips from free radicals caused by UV and environmental factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lip balm really contain rose extract?
The rose scent is included as a fragrance component in the formula, not as pure rose essence. The nourishing effect comes from the plant oils, butters, and waxes — the rose scent gives the balm its classic character.
Is SPF25 sufficient for the lips?
For daily use and normal outdoor activities in the Netherlands and Belgium, SPF25 offers ample protection, provided it is reapplied regularly. For prolonged sun exposure, winter sports, or beach vacations, reapplying every two hours is essential — the same principle applies to the lips as to the face.
Can I wear this lip balm under lipstick?
Yes. Apply the balm and give it one to two minutes to absorb before applying your lipstick. The zinc oxide layer can cause a slightly matte finish with some lipsticks — preferably test with your own lipstick.
