Lips so dry you'd
rub them in grass?

You apply before you head out. An hour later — nothing. Wind, sweat, and weather strip it away.
Dry, split lips that take three weeks to heal. And every breath stings.
You carry lip balm everywhere and reapply all day — and it still doesn't work.
Most lip balms coat your lips and wear off in an hour. PROTECT uses film-forming polymers to create an invisible barrier that bonds to your lips — so it stays through wind, sweat, and weather.
Trail Armour ambassador Tash O'Mara carried PROTECT through the Gaucho Derby — a 500km unsupported horse race across Patagonia. Wind, dust, altitude, and days in the saddle with no resupply.
If it survives that, it'll survive your Monday.
Why 16.12%? Trail Armour launched on 16 December 2025 — 16.12. The first batches were poured by hand on my Queensland farm. The number felt right.

"Where the feck has this stuff been for the last 50 years of outdoor abuse! Tassie bushwalking, mustering, cricket, 4WD — it's handled it all."
"My lips have been so dry and cracked in recent years, menopause and spending so much time outdoors hasn't helped but Trail Armour did! I could feel the difference on day one and my lips got softer and actually healed in less than a week."
"Nothing has worked like this. My 16-year-old has chronically dry lips and is a habitual picker. We've tried everything. Trail Armour Protect actually broke the loop. For the first time in years, her lips look healthy."
"This product is fantastic, it really does work! I have been using this product working outside on the farm, my lips have never felt this good. It really nourishes, soothes & leaves the lips in top condition."
"I suffer from cold sores brought on by the sun and more so the wind. Since using Trail Armour not a nasty cold sore in sight! No more dry lips. Highly recommend."
"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!"
"It really does last 8 hours! Incredible!"

PROTECT + RESTORE + QUENCH + BUFF. Everything your lips need.
Regular lip balms coat your lips and wear off within an hour. PROTECT uses film-forming ingredients to create an invisible barrier that locks in moisture and blocks the elements for 8+ hours from a single application.
With one application per day, a single 4.5g tube typically lasts 4–6 weeks depending on use. Because you're not reapplying every hour, it lasts much longer than traditional balms.
No. PROTECT is formulated to hold its structure in heat — even on 40°C days. It won't melt into your mouth or turn to mush in your pocket.
Neither. PROTECT goes on smooth and dries to an invisible, breathable finish. You won't feel it — but your lips will know it's there.
Yes. PROTECT is used by children as young as 11. It's particularly effective for kids who lick their lips constantly, as the film-forming barrier means they can't immediately lick it off.
Most orders ship next business day. Occasionally life happens (sick horses, dead stirrers, escaped dogs) and orders ship within 2 business days. If we're running behind, we'll let you know. Standard shipping is $6.95 AUD or $13.95 NZD — free on orders over $30 in your local currency for our EOFY sale (returns to $40 from 1 July).
PROTECT doesn't contain SPF — it's built for barrier protection against wind, dust, and moisture loss. If you're in direct sun, apply your SPF lip balm about 10–15 minutes after PROTECT has set. The film-forming barrier won't interfere with sunscreen, so your lips get all-day protection plus UV cover.
