A member asked:
Do even lipsticks contain sunscreen with spf 30? are lip balms really effective in preventing tanning or skin cancer? some good medicinal brands ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some do, some don't: Some make-ups contain SPF's, but many don't. You have to read each individual ones list of ingredients to see if that one has SPF in it and if so, how much. Most that do advertise this prominently, because it is such a good and important feature of the item.
