Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of an Over-the-counter (OTC) Sunscreen Lip Balm Product

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 8-hour moisturization efficacy of OTC sunscreen lip balm after a single treatment application.

A single-center, randomized, controlled, intra-individual comparison, open label clinical study to determine the 8-hour moisturization efficacy of a sunscreen lip balm. Skin hydration will be assessed before (Baseline) and after (2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-treatment) a single treatment with test product, compared to 'no treatment' as control, using a corneometer. Study treatments will be randomly assigned to 2 test sites delineated on the skin of the participant's volar forearms (one test site on each arm). A 1-week conditioning phase will precede the test day, during which participants will use the soap provided for personal washing.

* Participant must agree to bring their own food (dry) and beverages to be consumed on the test day (Visit 2).
* Participant must agree not to consume hot or very cold food/beverages on the test day (Visit 2).

* Participant must agree not to introduce any new cosmetic/toiletry products into their personal care regimen during the study.
* Participant must agree to refrain from any physical effort which might result in thermal regulation by sweating (for example, exercise class, rapid climbing of flights of stairs, jogging, cycling, brisk walking) for at least 2 hours prior to arriving the test day (Visit 2).

(Note: dry skin is not an exclusion per se; however, a participant with a level of dryness on the skin of the volar forearms that would, in the opinion of the investigator, confound study outcomes or increase the risk associated with participation should be excluded.
* Participant with a history of skin cancer, or currently undergoing treatment for active cancer of any kind.
* Participant with diabetes.
* Participant with a planned medical treatment/vaccination (other than the Covid-19 vaccination) during the study that would, in the opinion of the investigator, confound study outcomes or increase the risk associated with participation.

* Participant who has had extensive UV exposure within 3 weeks of Screening (Visit 1).
* Participant with visual signs of irritation, sunburn, rashes, scratches, burn marks, scarring at the test sites that would interfere with corneometry measurements.
* Participant with excessive hair at the test sites that would interfere with corneometry measurements.
* Participant who has participated in a study involving the arms as a test site, or any other type of clinical study, within three weeks of screening (Visit 1).
* Participant who is an employee/contractor or immediate family member of the PI, study site or Sponsor.
