Description
LipZinc SPF50 - A double-ended SPF50 & lipstick designed to address lip pigmentation for skin of colour.
One end features a creamy, hydrating lip colour, while the other delivers mineral SPF50
protection. Apply the colour first, then layer on the sunscreen.
Powered by targeted skincare actives, including kojic dipalmitate, peptides, and vitamin C, it helps improve the appearance of lip pigmentation and supports hydration.
Multi-use formula suitable for the lips, cheeks, and eyes.
Suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
NAFE SAFE: No denatured alcohol, no fragrance, and no essential oils.
Why is it good for skin of colour
Skin of colour is more prone to hyperpigmentation, including on the lips, particularly when exposed to UV radiation or certain irritating ingredients.
Many traditional lip products may contribute to lip darkening due to ingredients such as fragrances, flavourings, and certain pigments.
LipZinc SPF50 is formulated with carefully selected pigments and brightening actives to help improve the appearance of discolouration, while mineral SPF50 helps protect
against further UV-induced pigmentation.
Who is this product for
LipZinc SPF 50 is designed for anyone looking to brighten, plump, and protect their lips in a single product.
For persons aged 13 and older. Not for persons with overly sensitive skin.
Ingredients
HERO INGREDIENTS:
● Kojic Dipalmitate – A stable, oil-soluble form of Kojic Acid that targets existing dark spots and prevents new hyperpigmentation.
● Hyaluronic Acid – A powerful humectant capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water, delivering deep hydration and a visibly smoother lip surface.
● Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate – A high-performance, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that penetrates effectively to provide antioxidant protection and support collagen synthesis.
● Bakuchiol – A gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol, offering age-defying benefits without irritation, ideal for the delicate lip area.
● Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 – Targets lip architecture to increase volume and
hydration without the “sting”.
● Tripeptide-1: Mimics the skin’s renewal process to heal dry lips and stimulate collagen.
● Portulaca Pilosa Extract – Also known as “Kiss-Me-Quick,” this botanical works in synergy with peptides to enhance lip contour and hydration.
● Shea Nut Butter – Ceramide-mimicking moisture that prevents water loss in melanin-rich skin.
● Vitamin E & Ethyl Ferulate – A powerful duo that neutralises free radicals and stabilises the formula against UV exposure.
● Ammonium Glycyrrhizate – Derived from liquorice, this ingredient helps reduce “invisible inflammation” that can lead to darkening.
● Zinc Oxide – A mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum sun protection
while helping to minimise UV-induced pigmentation and irritation.

Common Product FAQs
1. Is it suitable for all skin types & pregnancy?
Yes, but avoid it on very sensitive lips.
2. What age group is it suitable for?
Suitable from 16+
3. Can it be worn under/over other lip products?
For best results, use LipZinc as directed (colour first, then SPF). It can be layered with other products, but this may affect the performance.
4. Will it leave a white cast?
Not if applied with the lipstick colour provided. LipZinc SPF50 is designed as a dual-ended product, where the lip colour is applied first, followed by the SPF50 layer. This helps prevent the white cast typically associated
with mineral sunscreens, while still delivering effective protection.
5. What makes it different to other lip products?
LipZinc SPF 50 combines a beautifully wearable lip shade with mineral SPF 50
protection in a unique dual-ended format. Unlike traditional lipsticks, it is formulated with skincare actives to help brighten lip pigmentation and protect against further sun-induced discolouration.
6. Is the product vegan-friendly?
Yes.

Store Owner
I am a trained Human Resource Professional with an MBA in Human Resource Management-Training and Development and have amassed fifteen (15) years corporate experience in that discipline.
I decided to embark on a new career path which led me to be involved in my family's Physiotherapy Clinic. During that period I became very aware of the multi-faceted world of wellness. I settled into the area of skin care and began immersing myself in the vast amounts of available knowledge. Some recommendations therein led me to experiment with my teenage daughter and myself as we both had skin challenges. I can say now that I am beginning to see the best skin of my life and regret not knowing about the regimen earlier.
I am the proud promoter of products and treatments which ensure minimum irritation but maximum efficacy.
The love of skincare has prompted the birth of the business Skincare Approved by G, to share and promote with those persons who believe in following a similar skincare philosophy.
Thank you for allowing me to take you on this journey.
Best regards,
G
