Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Hydrate Lip Balm is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Sun protection

Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Hydrate Lip Balm has an SPF of 15 and provides moderate sun protection. This level of protection is generally adequate for most daily activities, such as running errands or spending short periods outdoors. However, if you spend a substantial amount of time outdoors, it is better to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.
