Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning

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.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Never had chapped lips since I started using this lip mask. I have used it for 5 years now AND absolutely love it. It also has a great packaging and lasts for a very long time.

Tastes/smells great with a nice initial application, but it quickly feels sticky. Isn’t especially hydrating and wears off extremely quickly, which is a shame considering its hefty cost.

This is the best lip balm ever. Using it once before bed keeps my lips soft and hydrated for hours and hours, minimising my daytime lip balm use, if I skip it for a few days I'm more likely to get peeling lips. I always stock up when I or my family or friends go to the USA.

Pro tip: cut open the tube when you think it's finished. I have used a cut-open tube since September 2023 (it's now March Show more

I’ve tried hundreds of lip balms in my life, I have a graveyard full of abandoned ones in a drawer, but so far this is the closest I’ve come to one actually working.

It’s not perfect, personally I don’t like to feel stuff on my lips and this is quite thick and slimy. I’m also not a fan of that style applicator. Like any lip balm if it gets rubbed off my lips will be dry again pretty soon, and Show more
