Petroleum-free lip balm, which is less of a marketing line than it sounds — petroleum-based balms seal the lips without adding anything, so the relief stops the moment you stop applying. This one uses shea butter and sunflower seed oil to actually condition.
The fruit enzymes and botanical peptides are the difference between a balm that holds and one that improves the lips over time.
Who it suits
Anyone. Particularly worth it through a Toronto winter, when cold air outside and dry heat indoors chap lips faster than almost anything else.
What is in it, and why
- Shea butter — rich emollient that revitalises and helps repair skin
- Beeswax — protects, soothes and calms
- Calendula — soothes and nourishes dry skin; promotes repair
- Papaya and pineapple — gentle enzyme exfoliation with phytonutrients that renew
- Lemon balm and hawthorn berry — sources of vitamin C and antioxidants
- Botanical peptides — diminish the look of lines
How to use it
Apply whenever lips feel dry, and always before going out in cold or wind. If lips are badly chapped, apply a thick layer before bed.
What to pair it with
For daytime with sun exposure, the Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm adds SPF 15. Browse Eye & Lip Care, Body & Hand Care and Sets & Gifts.
