Utu’s Sun Balm

I have been loving Utu’s Sun balm for my face and lips. It’s protects them from the harsh Colorado sun as well as keeps them moisturized throughout the day. The natural ingredients are an added bonus as well!

Best face spf ever!

I’ve been using the sun balm for a few weeks now and can confirm it’s the best I’ve ever used. I am very picky about my face spf and have very sensitive skin so believe me when I say this stuff is fantastic. My skin has actually improved since using the sun balm. It’s less red and dry, and I’ve had far fewer breakouts. This stuff goes on smooth without pilling, doesn’t sting my eyes, and doesn’t leave a white cast. It works great under makeup, too. I immediately ordered a second tin when I got the Memorial Day sale email. I love the packaging because it’s so travel friendly. Thank you Utu for this awesome product! My skin has never looked better!

The best SPF is the one you have on you!

I find that my lips have a tendency to get more sun than the rest of my face because the lips are typically not getting covered with you all over face SPF, but with this that is no longer a problem. The tin is the perfect size to keep in your pocket or bag to reapply though out the day. I love how moisturizing the balm is. I also enjoy using it across the bridge of my nose and cheeks on windy days to prevent wind chap. I spend a lot of time outside on a daily basis, so this goes EVERYWHERE with me!
