Does anyone know what ingredient you add to lip balm to get some sun protection factor (SPF)? I understand I could never give mine a rating, like "SPF 15," because that takes advanced laboratory testing, but I'd like to make some for my own use that will help block the sun.

shea butter has sun protective qualities.

Zinc oxide is what Burts Bees uses in theirs, IIRC.
