Glossary entry

UV Protection.

Definition

What it means.

Shielding skin from ultraviolet radiation, which causes sunburn, premature aging, and increases skin cancer risk. Lips are particularly vulnerable to UV damage because they have thin skin and minimal melanin. Numbrrrz does not contain SPF and is not a sunscreen. For direct sun exposure, layer a mineral SPF product over Numbrrrz.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor)

A measure of how well a product protects against UVB radiation from the sun. SPF lip balms contain chemical or mineral UV filters. Numbrrrz does not include SPF, focusing instead on pure organic hydration and nourishment. For sun protection, we recommend layering a mineral SPF lip product over Numbrrrz to get both hydration and UV protection.

Antioxidant

A substance that neutralizes free radicals — unstable molecules that damage cells through oxidative stress. In lip care, antioxidants like vitamin E protect lip skin from UV damage, pollution, and environmental aging. Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. Numbrrrz's Vitamin E provides potent antioxidant protection in every application.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and environmental stress. Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture.
