Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 soothes dry, chapped lips with shea butter, avocado oil and antioxidants while adding broad-spectrum sun protection. Its quick-absorbing, non-waxy feel and range of flavors make it a favorite grooming stocking stuffer for skiers, commuters and anyone with winter-cracked lips.
Description
The Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 is the cult lip balm that shows up on men’s grooming gift lists year after year, and plenty of women swear by it too. It is an emollient balm made to soothe dry, chapped and irritated lips while adding broad-spectrum SPF 25 protection, which makes it a useful pocket item for winter wind, ski trips and sunny commutes alike.
What Makes the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm Stand Out
Instead of a waxy stick that sits on top of your lips, Jack Black describes this balm as quick-absorbing. The formula combines shea butter and avocado oil to soften lips, vitamin E and green tea extract as antioxidants, and avobenzone and octinoxate as UVA and UVB filters. The brand says it also helps guard against windburn and temperature extremes. It comes in several flavors, such as Natural Mint & Shea Butter and Grapefruit & Ginger, and holds a 4.6-star average from more than 25,000 shopper reviews.

- Skiers, runners, golfers and commuters who want sun protection on their lips
- Men who want a simple, no-fuss grooming upgrade

Pros

- Soft, non-waxy feel that absorbs quickly
- Several flavors, including subtle mint options

Buying Tip
Like any SPF product, reapply it after eating, drinking or swimming. If you are buying it as a gift, Jack Black also sells multi-flavor trios, which make a nicer present than a single tube. Pick the flavor carefully if the recipient dislikes strong mint.
