Tips to get the most out of your Color Balms.
- 1.
Color balms can be used on your lips and/or cheeks. For sheer or lighter coverage (like on your cheeks), use fingertips to lightly dab color onto skin. For fuller color coverage, apply directly onto skin and layer as needed.
- 2.
Try blending shades together to create custom looks with unmatched Total Protection™.
- 3.
Be sure not to leave your Color Balms in hot temperatures for an extended period of time as the formulas may soften and lose their shape (though they won't lose their effectiveness).

Before you get started, 'break through' the first layer of your Color Balm with your fingertips, by rubbing it on the back of your hand for a few strokes. Once you get through the topmost layer, Color Balm is easy to apply, with a color payoff.
1. Apply directly to the skin and blend.
This will result in an instant bold color that can be blended for your desired finish look. Perfect method for cheek and lips application.
2. Warm up and apply with clean fingers.
Use the tip of your finger to warm up Color Balm and apply to skin by swiping a few times back and forth. This method is ideal for eyelid application, just be sure to tap very gently.
3. Apply with a clean makeup brush.
This method is preferred when looking to achieve a light, buildable color for an easy customized look.

FAQs
Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Color Balm SPF 50 is designed for lips and cheek use where you’d like to add color to the face. For a colorless option to apply all over your face, we recommend our Sport Stick SPF 50.
Color Balms have not been tested specifically for use around the eye area.

Reapply at least every two hours for continued protection, or as often as needed for additional color coverage.
Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Color Balms SPF 50 are water/sweat resistant for 40 minutes. As Color Balms SPF 50 are not stains or longwear, matte finish formulas, they are not smudgeproof. How long color lasts will vary based on activity, just as with many other lip products with a similar emollient finishes.
Color Balms SPF 50 should not be stored in a vehicle as the temperature inside a car can become excessively high. Avoid frequent or long-term direct exposure to sun and heat. Store at room temperature. When outdoors, such as the beach or pool, try to avoid leaving out in direct sunlight by keeping in a bag or in the shade.
No, it does not stain clothing. Remove Color Balm according to the wash instructions on your garments.
No, Color Balm is not a lip stain. It has a hydrating, emollient texture and a natural finish that is neither glossy, nor matte.
Yes, Color Balms SPF 50 offer not only high SPF all-mineral sun protection, but also includes ingredients such as jojoba esters and plant-based Squalane to increase moisturization and aid in skin barrier function, as well as Bisabolol to soothe skin. Use Color Balms as your new everyday lip balm with a touch of color, and Total Protection from environmental aggressors.
No, Color Balms are a lip and cheek option for everyday balm with sun protection without the gloss. Choose from blush, berry, and bronze. Lip Shine SPF 35 is the ideal lip gloss with sun protection. It includes peptides for fuller-looking lips and a pleasant hint of peppermint. Lip Shine SPF 35 is available in clear, rose, pink, champagne, and coral.
UVB exposure causes redness or burning, while UVA exposure causes skin darkening/pigmentation. Protection from both UVA and UVB means this product provides Broad Spectrum protection.
Total Protection™ Color Balms SPF 50 in Blush, Berry, and Bronze provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection).
The PA rating system measures the level of protection from UVA rays, which are known to cause pigment darkening in the skin. It measures the amount of time a product would protect your skin from darkening.
The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure:
PA Rating | Level of Protection | Total # of min before experiencing skin darkening/pigmentation
PA+ 2-4 times 10-20 minutes
PA++ 4-8 times 20-40 minutes
PA+++ 8-16 times 40-80 minutes
PA++++ >16 times >80 minutes
Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating.
Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating, the highest level of protection from UVA exposure.
EnviroScreen® Technology is proprietary to Colorescience®. EnviroScreen® Technology uses patented active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, that create a barrier preventing free radical formation and oxidative stress. These patented actives are combined with specialty ingredients that, together, work synergistically to protect skin from damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (also known as High Energy Visible, or HEV, light), and infrared radiation.
Colorescience® follows the FDA guidelines for testing water resistance or adherence to the skin after exposure to water. A panel of 10 people apply the product to their skin prior to being immersed in a whirlpool (of moving or circulating water) for 20-minute cycles. After 20 minutes in the whirlpool, panelists exit the whirlpool before immersing themselves again. For 40 minutes water resistance, panelists are immersed in the water for two 20-minute cycles. For 80 minutes water resistance, this is done a total of 4 times. After all cycles are completed, the SPF that is remaining on the skin is measured. If after 80 minutes in the whirlpool, the SPF remaining is at least 50, the result is an SPF 50 with 80 minutes of water resistance.
We measure our pollution protection by directly measuring free radicals created from UV + pollution events on unprotected skin and skin protected with Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50 and Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50. We use a testing technique called electron spin resonance (ESR) that uses a combination of a magnetic field and electron magnetic waves to directly detect the unpaired electrons of free radicals.
Blue (HEV) light protection is tested by measuring the ability of the formula to block light in the HEV spectrum that would otherwise reach the skin. In practice, this is done by applying the formula to a transparent substrate at the same dose level (2mg/cm2) used in the FDA Monograph SPF test. The substrate is then placed at the entrance of an integrating sphere detector which captures all the light passing through the sample. This configuration is the same as that used in the FDA Monograph Critical Wavelength measurement and mimics the situation of a formula applied to the skin. The percentage of HEV light blocked is calculated by comparing the intensity of the light transmitted through the formula to the incident light at each wavelength throughout the HEV spectrum (400–490 nm).
All Total Protection® products use only all-mineral zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide which are the only sunscreen active ingredients recognized as safe and effective by the FDA.
Per FDA recommendation as well, our Total Protection® products are safe to apply to children 6 months and older. For use on children under 6 months of age, please consult your physician.
While all Total Protection® products are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin and children above 6 months, young children and babies have especially delicate skin which is why we recommend the below, our most soothing all-mineral formulas, to protect their skin.
- Total Protection® No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
- Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush
- Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Body Shield Classic SPF 50
For teens and young adults, our Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 collection is a fan favorite for all-mineral, tinted formulas that can be mixed and matched to customize your protection. Please note, however, that all Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 formulas contain 2% niacinamide. While niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is known to help soothe skin, aid the skin barrier, and balance sebum production, it can lead to irritation for those with an allergy. For this reason, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before applying directly to the face.
