PROTECT forms an invisible barrier that bonds to your lips and stays through wind, dust, heat, sweat, air-con and heating. One application in the morning. That's it.
See how it works
You put it on in the morning. An hour later there's nothing there. Wind outside, air-con and heating inside — all of it strips it straight off.
Split lips can take weeks to settle down. Until then every breath of cold air stings.
You carry it everywhere and put it on constantly, and your lips are no better at the end of the year than they were at the start.
Most lip balm sits on top of your lips as a layer of wax, and the first bit of wind takes it with it.
PROTECT uses film-forming polymers instead. They bond to your lips and form an invisible barrier that stays put — so it holds through wind, dust, sweat and cold rather than wearing off in the first hour.
You stop noticing it after about thirty minutes. It's still working.
Tash O'Mara rode the Gaucho Derby — 500km across Patagonia on half-wild horses, no support crew and no resupply.
She was sick the whole way. Winds hit 50–60mph. Hail, rain, sun.
She taped a tube of PROTECT around her neck so she couldn't lose it. By the end the tape was shredded and the label was destroyed. Her lips were fine — and every other rider finished with cracked, split lips, asking her why hers weren't.
"If it can keep my lips happy in those winds, it can do anything."
If it survives that, it'll survive your Monday.

"Where the feck has this stuff been for the last 50 years of outdoor abuse! Bushwalking, mustering, cricket, 4WD — it's handled it all."
"Finally, after trialling close to 10 different lipbalms this one actually protects my lips when out in the elements! Very highly recommend as it works just as it promises."
"I'm in Africa and the balm has been brilliant in saving my lips from windburn in particular out on safari. I'm loving the overnight treatment too. Happy to have found you!"
"One application in the morning will last all day, even when I'm working outdoors! Trail Armour seems to put a protective layer between my lips and the environment, leaving them feeling so much better at the end of the day."
"My 11 year old licks her lips and has constant wind burn. It disappeared after using this for 3 days. This is the only thing that has worked as she can't instantly lick it off."
"Absolutely love it! Works rain, hail or shine and isn't sticky like other long acting lip balms! Even great for in air-conditioning as it keeps the moving air from cracking lips!"

A 5.5g tube lasts around 4–6 months with regular use. A little goes a long way — one layer is all you need.
One layer over clean, dry lips. Let it set for 5–10 minutes before eating or drinking. It doesn't feel like lip balm — that's the barrier, and it's meant to.
No. It holds its structure in heat, even on 104°F days.
Neither. It goes on smooth and dries to an invisible, breathable finish.
Yes. It's used by children as young as 11, and it works particularly well for kids who lick their lips constantly, because the barrier means they can't immediately lick it off.
No. It's built for barrier protection against wind, dust and moisture loss. In direct sun, apply your SPF lip balm 10–15 minutes after PROTECT has set.
