Weleda Everon Lip Balm has a thicker mask-like consistency that will rest on your lips for extended periods of time, meaning you won’t feel the need to reapply the product every 20 minutes. Be sure to keep this jojoba oil-, rose-, and beeswax-infused formula out of the heat (or, say, skinny jean pockets) to retain its consistency and prevent melting mishaps.
If you want a plumping effect sans uncomfortable burning or tingling, keep Biossance Squalane & Rose Lip Balm in your purse at all times. Ceramides, squalane, and hyaluronic acid prevent moisture loss and encourage long-lasting hydration, while wakame algae blurs fine lines and improves fullness.
Bioderma Lip Stick uses shea butter, vitamin E, and Laminaria extract (a type of seaweed) to deliver nonsticky hydration, which means your hair won’t get stuck to your lips with every gust of wind. This also has a fun raspberry flavor for folks who are searching for an alternative to the fragrance-free formulas on the market.
With flavors like grapefruit, gummy bear, and peach, Laneige Lip Glowy Balm feels like a decadent treat with every application. This murumuru and shea butter formula harnesses the power of the iconic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (which has scored Best of Beauty and Readers’ Choice Awards over the years — no big deal) but makes it easier to dispense vis-à-vis the squeeze tube design — so you can tote it around for daytime wear.
The hero ingredient behind L’Occitane Ultra-Rich Shea Butter Nourishing Lip Balm is — drumroll, please — shea butter, a loved emollient with vitamins A, E, and F that nourishes cracked skin. This rich formula kicks dryness, chapping, and moisture loss to the curb and softens your lips in the process, too.
The Physicians Formula Organic Wear Lip Treatment won a 2020 Best of Beauty Award for its simple yet mighty formula. Rich in shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E, this powerful blend will keep your lips perfectly moisturized through wind, sleet, and snow. That’s right — even frigid winter temps won’t stand a chance against this ultra-conditioning treatment.
DHC Lip Cream glides on clear and is the perfect way to add a glossy layer over bold lipstick — all without the risk of smudging, flaking, or transfer. Aloe, squalane, and antioxidant-rich olive oil boost hydration levels and prevent the uncomfortable (and visible) dryness often associated with matte lipstick formulas.
