The subject of sun protection should not only include face and body creams but also lip balms. Lips are often overlooked in needing daily protection. The sweltering heat and bright skies can cause them to swell and chap. Everyone knows there is absolutely nothing comfortable about flaky, chapped, dry lips, which is why we keep our pockets, purses, and nightstands stocked with an arsenal of positively conditioning lip treatments.
Treat your dry and chapped lips to a good lip balm, one that immediately makes a difference when you apply it. Mentholatum Lipcare products are the ultimate lip savers.
Best in Moisturizing
Although our priority is protection, it’s never a bad idea to keep your lips nourished. Make sure you know the primary causes of chapped lips. Mentholatum Therapy Lip Balm and Therapy Lip Gel offer faster repair and relief from dry, chapped, and cracked lips. They both contain SPF 15 to protect lips against harmful UV rays. They also provide a fresh, cooling menthol sensation that relieves chapped lips due to sun exposure and being in a cold air-conditioned room.
Best Anti-aging
Judging by the staggering rise in lip injections, we have a feeling that most of you care about how your lips look. Mentholatum Lip Pure Fragrance-Free is formulated with 100% food-grade ingredients, including Beeswax, Royal Jelly and Manuka Honey from New Zealand which help to lock-in moisture and hydrate lips. It also contains Acai Berry Fruit Oil, Shea Butter and Grape Seed oil which provide long-lasting moisturisation and help reduce lips lines for smoother, fuller lips. It’s also free of fragrances, colorants and preservatives.
Best in Protection
For lips in need of extra love, the Mentholatum Lip Pure Botanical Oils variant contains six types of natural oil ingredients such as Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil and Almond Oil to deeply moisturize and protect the skin of the lips. It’s also free of fragrances, colorants, and preservatives.
A Kiddie Favorite
LipIce Kids, which come in delightful Lemon and Strawberry flavors, has a soft and gentle moisturizing formula for children’s delicate lips. It also has SPF 15 for protection against UV rays and is formulated without menthol and camphor.
While everyone has strong opinions about what the best lip balm is, it’s safe to say the humble product is universally loved and used by all. Make Mentholatum a mainstay in your routine so make sure to carry one with you everyday.
