  Mask the taste of SPF

  Posted by rifah on January 8, 2021 at 10:58 am

  What ingredients would you recommend to mask the taste of SPF in a lip product? I have found most lip products that have an SPF in them, you can taste them in some way or another, but what are some ways to mask it as much as possible (as it is rather unpleasant).

  I am using for a lip balm:
  Avobenzone (3%), Octocrylene (5%), Ethylhexyl Salicylate (5%)

  I have tried a few different lip flavours, essential oils, fragrances, powdered sweetener (kind of worked but too difficult to disperse). However, I haven’t found a winner yet.
  I was looking at Echinacea Purpurea which is said to have a sweet taste, but its water soluble. I would like prefer something oil soluble as I wanted to keep it anhydrous.
