Hello Truckers!


Check out the new 2024 sunscreen update from AIM at Melanoma Foundation. It has a lot of very good information in it that helps to demystify the often-confusing subject of sunscreens. 

It still remains; the best sunscreen is the one that you WILL wear and the one that you WILL reapply.

Hello Truckers! 

Our team has been listening to your requests at our events for the past year, and one of the MOST requested items that you wish we had in our outreach booth has been lip balm. Now, given our message of melanoma awareness, we wanted to find you a lip balm with a good SPF rating, but also one that is comfortable to wear. We believe that we have found that for your. 

Allow us to introduce you to Rubber Ducky and their awesome, SPF 44 lip balms. We at Team Truck Melanoma! have been testing out the lip balm over the last month and feel that we can confidently recommend the Rubber Ducky product to our amazing fans. We have not been paid to make this recommendation to you, and purchased the tester products that we have been trying out. 

For the past month, I personally have been using the Rubber Ducky Original Formula LIP NO-OX lip balm. It is Oxybenzone Free and VEGAN, it also has an 80 minute water resistance. 

It is a broad spectrum, vanilla flavored product, that goes on the lips very smoothly and does not feel sticky. 

The Vanilla flavor in my opinion, especially when the stick was new was a bit too much. I found it to taste a bit like frosting, but I have noticed that the flavor does seem to mellow as well as become more pleasant as the product has been opened and used. Rubber Ducky does make a mint flavored version as well, but this is not one that I have personally tried. I received feedback from others that I gave lip balms too that they also thought the vanilla flavor was a bit strong at first.

One thing that I personally very much like about the Rubber Ducky lip balm is that it is a petrolatum-based product (40%). Personally, I have a long (10 1/2 year) history of working in dermatology, and petrolatum (i.e. Vaseline or Aquaphor) is what is very commonly recommended for moisturizing the lips as well as helping to heal wounds. In my experience, the Rubber Ducky lip balm makes my lips feel every bit as moisturized as Aquaphor does. The petrolatum base is what allows this product to glide on smoothly as compared to a wax-based lip balm. 
I have found that it does make this lip balm a little more sensitive to heat, so it is important to remember to twist the lip balm back into the tube to keep it from melting into the cap a little while in your pocket. 

Overall, I can confidently say, Team Truck Melanoma! is very happy to recommend Rubber Ducky lip balm to our audience, and we will have some samples at our future events.
