If your lips always seem dry no matter how often you reapply balm, you’re not alone. The culprit might actually be what’s inside your lip balm.
Many popular balms contain ingredients like menthol, camphor, or added fragrance. They create that quick cooling or tingling feeling that seems soothing, but over time, they can actually dry out and irritate your lips even more.
In Naana’s 15 years of experience as a dermatologist, she’s seen this so many times; people apply balm after balm, but their lips never seem to get better. What we’ve both learned is that the best way to heal dry lips is to nourish your skin barrier, not strip it.
Now, we always look for gentle, fragrance-free formulas made with ingredients that replenish and protect. Things like raw shea butter, coconut oil, ceramides, aloe vera, and petrolatum.
That’s why we created Baume à Lèvres Lip Balm; a deeply nourishing balm made with high concentrations of raw, unrefined shea butter sustainably sourced from women-led cooperatives in northern Ghana. It softens, protects, and restores naturally.
So the next time you reach for lip balm, choose one that truly loves your lips back.
