An occlusive balm for the eight hours you are not thinking about your lips. Ceramide NP, cholesterol and fatty acids in the barrier’s own 3:1:1 ratio sit under a light plant-wax seal, which holds water in overnight rather than simply coating the surface.
There is no flavour, no menthol and no fragrance in it - the tingle other balms provide is an irritant, and an irritated lip asks to be balmed again. In a 12-week user trial of 96 volunteers, 92% reported waking with noticeably softer lips after the first week. Also useful on cuticles and the dry patch beside the nostril in February.
