Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is a plant lipid from the fruit of the Shea Tree. It is an effective skin hydrator and emollient.
Emollients help soothe and soften your skin. It does this by creating a protective film on your skin. This barrier helps trap moisture and keeps your skin hydrated. Emollients may be effective at treating dry or itchy skin.
Shea butter is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight free-radicals, or molecules that may harm the body. It is also full of fatty acids including stearic acid and linoleic acid. These acids help replenish the skin and keep skin moisturized.
While Shea Butter has an SPF rating of about 3-4, it is not a sunscreen replacement.
Shea butter may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

My lips keep getting flaky and I keep peeling them off, which usually leads to bleeding and scarring. This balm hydrates and absorbs well, but I haven't seen an improvement in terms of healing and repairing. Mediocre overall.

Absolutely fantastic. I needed a lip balm quickly before I went away for the weekend that would calm down the eczema I had all over my lips and around my lip line. I started using it, and the next day the eczema and soreness was gone. I think my skin needed a break from actives. I’m docking a star as it’s not vegan or cruelty free, but damn, it hurts to do so, as this balm is perfect otherwise and Show more
Great product but the company is on the BDS list :/
