- Intensively moisturizing
- Extra care with aloe vera
- Effective against dry lips
Chapped, dry lips? Our Barrier Lip Balm not only provides plenty of moisture, but also strengthens the sensitive skin of the lips with barrier-strengthening and regenerating ingredients such as our fair trade baobab oil and aloe vera extract. This combination is enriched with phytosterols from sea kale (phytosterol abyssinia) which form a film on the lips and thus provide lasting hydration by retaining moisture in the skin. This effect occurs immediately after application and lasts for hours. Regular use softens the lips and makes them appear smoother and more even. The high proportion of shea butter and solid oils strengthens the lipid barrier of the delicate lip skin and gives our balm its creamy, melt-in texture. Natural vanilla extract reduces hyperpigmentation and has rejuvenating properties. Vanilla also tastes irresistible. Mhhh... Take a look at our tinted variants too.
LIPS: Apply a lentil to pea-sized portion to the lips with a clean finger or the enclosed spatula and spread.
SKINHACK: The balm can also be used as an eyebrow pomade.

What is Gamma Oryzanol and why is it in our Lip Balm?
It is a fatty acid ester of rice germ oil with an outstanding effect. It protects your lips against dehydration and environmental pollution in winter and helps your sensitive skin to defend itself against UV damage in summer. A tiny amount for a big effect: a few milligrams of gamma oryzanol are enough to stimulate blood circulation (plumper lips), protect the skin from wrinkles and hyperpigmentation (who wants dark spots on the lips), and it inhibits fat oxidation (the breakdown of fat deposits on the lips). It is an effective anti-oxidant and has the ability to absorb UVA and UVB (but does not replace sun protection in high summer!).

Our barrier protection formula with only 10 natural ingredients is specially formulated to strengthen the skin barrier. Why is this so important for lip care? Lips can build up much less pigmentation to defend against UV radiation, nor can they protect themselves from the elements by thickening the skin. Without protection, lips dry out and become chapped, making them susceptible to infection. Our selected ingredients work in harmony to reduce the number of ingredients and eliminate the need for additional preservatives. For example, the gamma oryzanol it contains: it can absorb UV rays, prevents the oils it contains from becoming rancid and strengthens the skin barrier. A strong skin barrier = soft and protected lips.
the skin of the human lip is very, very thin compared to the rest of the facial skin? The skin of the lips also has no sweat glands and only a few sebaceous glands. This means that it does not have the hydro-lipid film, a protective layer that keeps the skin supple and kills pathogens, that is common to the rest of the human body. The skin on the lips therefore dries out more quickly and becomes chapped more easily*.
