Though this is advertised that it can be used on the lips, I would not recommend this for the lips! I bought this specifically to help prevent my lips burning and drying in the sun, but it leaves a white residue and has an awful chemical taste that makes me think it is not safe to be on the lips (and potentially ingested!). Though I think this would work well to apply sunscreen to the ears and nose, I just don't think it is worth buying.
