Lip balm Recomendation

I am looking for a recommendation on a good quality lip balm for the ocean.

I used to have no issues with using a cheaper SPF 50 lip balm (Banana Boat etc.), but lately, my lips end up being dried and wind/sun burned after a few days on the water after applying the cheap stuff.

Any suggestions on what works for those warm/windy days?

Cheers

I've been blessed with Irish skin, so I understand this problem too... Nivea Sun Lip Balm has always worked well. Seems to leave a thicker layer than others, and that feels like it helps protect from the wind a little bit too.
 
Or, wear a buff that can be pulled up anytime - great protection for most of your face/neck ears. And wear a hat that covers your ears.
My 2 cents

Badger Balm face stick is excellent. It's SPF 35 and doesn't have any crap in it, just zinc oxide. It makes your face white, but it works. I put it on my nose, cheeks and lips. You can get it at most health food stores.
 
Carmex or Blistex with SPF. I did just buy some Neutrogena with SPF but have not tried but I find their sunscreen the best too.
