Top best lip balms

The skin on the lips is thin and delicate. Under the influence of wind, frost, and heat, it dries, cracks and bleeds. To eliminate this phenomenon, use hygienic lipstick/balm, oils and natural balms.

The secret of the latter lies in the absence of substances that are usually included in regular or hygienic lipstick: camphor, menthol, silicone compounds, lanolin. The latter ensure the durability of cosmetics, but at the same time mercilessly dry the skin.

Natural balm excludes dehydrating components. In the composition, the proportion of natural ingredients prevails over synthetic ones - the latter are used as stabilizers, and not as active cosmetic ingredients. It is its use that ensures smooth, velvety skin of the lips in any frost or heat.

Compound

Lipstick with a natural composition includes compounds that provide moisturizing and wound-healing properties. The “duty” of organic cosmetics is to create a protective layer that prevents moisture loss and the action of ultraviolet rays:

1. Shea Butter – well accepted by the body. In its homeland, this plant is used as food. The substance softens the skin, prevents dehydration and is a natural antibacterial agent. Shea butter is indispensable for sun and cold burns, as it promotes skin regeneration.
2. Jojoba – the substance is obtained from the nuts of the bush. Jojoba has moisturizing properties and restores the dermis after severe dehydration. The oil is also used to heal small wounds if necessary.
3. Honey – a wonderful product for moisturizing and nourishing lips. It restores the skin and prevents damage. The polysaccharides included in the composition form a thin layer that completely protects the lips from chapping. This component is indicated in the balm during winter frosts, when active moisturizers cannot be used. Honey can cause allergies, so a skin test must be performed before using this composition. Recipes for the best face masks with honey and lemon are collected here.
4. Tea tree oil – natural antiseptic. It is recommended to use in the treatment of herpes: tea tree oil will both neutralize the virus and sufficiently moisturize the skin.
5. Cocoa – the butter provides the chocolate flavor. The substance remarkably nourishes the epidermis, moisturizes and protects from frost and wind. Purified butter has no taste, so no chocolate impurities are noticeable in the product. Cocoa butter also prevents exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
6. Sea buckthorn oil – helps during colds and is also used to protect the skin from frost, wind and sun. Sea buckthorn has wound-healing and antiseptic properties and is a universal remedy for skin restoration. Find out about the healing properties of sea buckthorn oil in this article.

Organic balm may contain antiseptics. These components disinfect the dermis and prevent viral diseases such as herpes.

Advantages and disadvantages

Thanks to natural ingredients, natural balm guarantees the performance of a much wider range of tasks. This leads to the following advantages:

1. Safety - the organic composition does not include irritating synthetic substances such as lanolin, fragrance, camphor.
2. Guarantees hydration. It is enough to apply a real organic balm 1-2 times a day so that the skin on your lips does not dry out from either frost or wind.
3. Oils nourish, restoring natural volume, softness and tenderness to lips. They prevent moisture evaporation and protect against cold.
4. Active biological ingredients help improve blood circulation.
5. Most natural balms include antiseptic and antibacterial components. The composition can be used both as a prophylactic and as a medicine for the treatment of seizures, cracks, and herpes.
6. The film that the balm forms is permeable to air and completely imperceptible.

Natural ingredients “work” on the lips. However, the lipstick stick itself does not tolerate high temperatures or direct sunlight.

Indications for use

Natural balm is a cosmetic that is used every day by any woman, if at the moment she does not want to change the color of her lips. However, there are also direct indications:

1. weathered – under the influence of wind, the skin dries and intensively loses moisture. To provoke cracking, it is better to immediately use a balm.
2. Sun and cold burns – the skin is more damaged, as burns affect the deep layers of the lips. In this case, the balm is irreplaceable.
3. Herpes. At this time, the skin on the lips is vulnerable, and the resulting cracks and jams are painful, and the organic composition effectively softens the lips.
4. Loss of shine and natural shade – stimulates blood circulation and thus restores color and shine.

Rating of the best

The organic balm is available in stick form or in jars. The compositions of cosmetics differ, so any user can choose the right product.

Sierra Bees Organic Lip Balms, Variety Pack, 8 Pack

The complete set consists of 8 balms in the form of sticks. You can purchase everything at once and individually. Each option includes 3 main components:

1. beeswax – the compound forms a thin waterproof film on the lips. This prevents moisture loss;
2. honey – ensures moisture retention deep in the dermis, stimulates capillary circulation and nourishes the lips;
3. cocoa butter – an excellent means of protection.

The "Bee" set from Sierra Bees additionally includes sunflower, olive, and coconut oil. Judging by the reviews, mint lipstick has a different taste and provides cooling to the skin. Disadvantage: four balms contain sunflower oil. They have a characteristic smell of roasted seeds, which is not to everyone’s taste. Find out more about the most famous Eos balms in this material.

Belweder

Belvedere balm includes base oils that provide initial care, that is, protection against moisture loss. Additional ingredients provide interesting qualities:

1. Balm with rose oil – as well as with cottonseed oil, jojoba, and palm oil. The composition eliminates dry lips within 10 minutes and does not create a feeling of tightness. The balm gives a light pinkish tint.
2. Orange – eliminates any degree of peeling.
3. Aloe extract – the restorative properties of aloe are well known. The balm perfectly eliminates dryness and heals wounds and cracks. The product is available in liquid form - in a transparent tube with a volume of 7 ml. Consistency does not affect the quality of the composition.

Belweder balms are available in different forms. Classic sticks, creamy dense compositions in jars, in liquid form - in tubes, and as jelly. The last option is especially interesting: the bottle with the product is equipped with a pump dispenser. The balm is applied sparingly and evenly.

Avanta "Morozko"

Option from a domestic manufacturer. Available in stick form, includes cocoa butter, vitamins and chamomile extract. Belongs to the same price category as hygienic lipstick Fruit Kiss. This composition moisturizes, protects lips, and also soothes irritated skin. The product was tested at the Moscow Research Institute of Pediatrics of the Russian Federation and is approved for use from the first months of a baby’s life.

However, it is worth considering that the balm includes non-natural flavors and stabilizers. Therefore, before use, a skin test is required: there is a high risk of an allergic reaction.

NIVEA Natural Volume

The company offers various lip care options, including balms. However, this option is more decorative than caring. NIVEA balm forms a protective film, but does not last as long as its conventional care formulations.

Nivea balm is classified as organic very conditionally: synthetic components exceed the content of natural ones. The effect of sensual lips is ensured by collagen filler and reflective particles. The first evenly fills microcracks and folds, giving the lips a smooth, radiant surface, which visually enlarges them. The effect is completed by microparticles of sulfur that create shine. Under different lighting, the shine and color of the lips changes slightly.

Organic essence Organic lip balm Raspberry

The basis of the composition is shea butter - an excellent product that equally effectively moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Shea restores lips after serious damage and is recommended for burns and frostbite.

Organic essence organic balm has a wonderful structure: the composition is distributed in a thin layer and instantly softens chapped skin. The beeswax contained in the composition protects the skin. Although oils moisturize, they do not contribute to the spreading of cosmetics, so the balm can be used as a base for makeup. The lipstick has a delicious, pleasant raspberry scent.

Avalon Soothing Lip Balm

The company specializes in organic care products. Its products are not tested on animals and fundamentally do not contain synthetic oils and waxes. Lanolin is excluded, since the latter irritates the skin.

Soothing balm contains coconut and olive oils. The ingredients restore the softness of the dermis and promote hydration. The lipstick includes extracts of rosemary and stevia - they have a calming effect and remove cracks. Beeswax in the composition forms a protective film on the lips. Find out all the features of Lucas Papaw lip balms here.

Instructions for using hygienic lipstick

It is very easy to use organic balm, regardless of the form of release:

1. In the morning, apply the composition to slightly moistened lips. If this happens in winter, then only use dry ones, since excess moisture in the cold is harmful.
2. In the evening, lipstick is applied after removing makeup. Although the composition itself softens the remaining dyes of decorative lipstick, it cannot be used as a remover.
3. Use the stick like regular lipstick, applying 1 thin layer. The balm from the jar is applied to the lips using a makeup brush or fingers. A small amount of product is simply squeezed out of the tube.

The balm is applied no more than 2 times a day. If it is not enough, this means that the product should be replaced with a more effective one, rather than using it 5-7 times a day.

Expiration date, contraindications

Organic cosmetics contain a minimal amount of synthetic additives. This category includes coloring pigment and flavoring. This includes stabilizers and preservatives, without which cosmetics cannot be stored for a long time.

Because of this, organic balm also includes synthetic additives, but in a minimal amount. And therefore it needs to be stored: in a place inaccessible to sunlight and at a temperature no higher than +25–+28 C.

There is only one contraindication for natural balm - excessive sensitivity to any ingredient. However, this is an important nuance, since natural compounds can act as allergens: they are biologically active.
