Protect Your Smile Naturally: Why Just Sun's SPF Lip Balm is a Canadian Must-Have
When it comes to taking care of your skin, lips are often overlooked. But did you know your lips are one of the most vulnerable areas to sun exposure? The skin on your lips is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else on your body, making them especially prone to sun damage, dryness, and premature aging. That’s where Just Sun's SPF 18 Lip Balm steps in to save the day—and your smile.
What is Just Sun?
Just Sun is a Canadian-born sun care brand that believes in clean, safe, and effective protection. Made in Ontario, their mission is simple: provide high-quality mineral-based sun protection that’s safe for both people and the planet. No chemicals. No synthetic fragrances. Just sun care that works.
Their line includes natural sunscreens and their much-loved SPF lip balms, all crafted with intention using non-toxic, reef-safe, and environmentally friendly ingredients. And best of all, they’re plastic-free!
You can now find Just Sun’s complete product line at The Local Boom Gift Shop in Vancouver or shop online at LocalBoom.ca for fast, Canada-wide shipping.
Why SPF Lip Balm Matters
Let’s get straight to the point: lips can get sunburned too. While we often slather sunscreen on our faces and shoulders, our lips are just as susceptible to UV rays. That’s why it’s so important to use a lip balm with SPF every single day.
Here’s what sun exposure can do to your lips:
-
Cause painful burns and peeling
-
Accelerate signs of aging, like fine lines
-
Increase your risk of lip cancer
Using a high-quality SPF lip balm like Just Sun's ensures your lips stay protected, soft, and kissably smooth.
Made in Canada with Purpose
Every Just Sun lip balm is handcrafted in small batches in Ontario using all-natural, ethically sourced ingredients. Unlike many drugstore balms that rely on petroleum by-products, Just Sun's formula is entirely plant-based and cruelty-free.
Key Features:
-
SPF 18 mineral sun protection using non-nano zinc oxide
-
Delicious natural flavours like Orange Vanilla, Mint, and Unscented
-
Packaged in eco-friendly paperboard tubes
-
Free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, and artificial preservatives
-
Safe for sensitive skin and suitable for kids too!
The Fan-Favourite: Orange Vanilla Lip Balm
The Orange Vanilla flavour has become a standout in the Just Sun collection. Why? Because it smells like sunshine in a tube! The blend of sweet orange essential oil and warm vanilla creates a light, uplifting scent that’s never overpowering.
This balm glides on smoothly, leaving a non-greasy finish and subtle shine. It nourishes your lips with moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and candelilla wax, while giving you the peace of mind that comes with natural SPF coverage.
Plastic-Free and Planet-Friendly
Just Sun doesn’t just care about your skin—they care about the environment too. Every balm is packaged in a biodegradable paperboard tube. That means no plastic waste, no microplastics, and no guilt.
As more Canadians embrace eco-conscious shopping, Just Sun has become a go-to for people who want to reduce their footprint without compromising quality.

Why Choose Just Sun Over Other Lip Balms?
There are plenty of lip balms out there, so what makes Just Sun different?
1. It Actually Works
Just Sun's SPF 18 formula is clinically effective, shielding your lips from harmful UVA and UVB rays using zinc oxide, a natural mineral sunscreen that sits on top of the skin rather than absorbing into it.
2. It’s Truly Natural
Every ingredient is recognizable, plant-based, and non-toxic. No confusing chemicals, no endocrine disruptors, just pure, effective ingredients.
3. It’s Canadian
Supporting Just Sun means supporting a homegrown Canadian business. Each tube you buy keeps your lips safe and supports ethical entrepreneurship here in Canada.
4. Sustainable Packaging
Unlike the many plastic tubes that clutter our landfills, Just Sun’s packaging is 100% compostable and recyclable.
