Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!

Here's what our community thinks
The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm 27 ingredients
It’s not better than any other cheap(er) lip balm. It didn’t particularly help with hydration longer than few hours.
Also the cap is horrible to put on! Overall I can’t imagine that all product can be squeezed out of it. And since you can’t place it upside down (due horrible cap), pretty sure most of it will not come out at some point.
Disappointing. Doesn’t do much for my lips. No noticeable improvement. No healing. Then the applicator tip fell off and made application messy and inconvenient. I threw it away and won’t buy it again.
