Hey guys!
I purchased this lip balm for the second time.
I first started using it about a year ago. I bought it specifically for winter hoping to protect and revive my cracked and dry lips.
I’ve tried quite a good deal of products from this brand and I loved most of them. I decided to repurchase this lip balm, as I had quite a good experience with it.
For the most part, however, I bought it for my kid, because the stuff is fragrance- and paraben-free.
About the product:
This repairing barrier balm soothes, protects and rebuilds the epidermis on chapped, cracked and irritated lips and zones, thanks to its formula concentrated up to 5% of soothing and repairing Panthénol, and enriched with MP-Lipids, pro-hydration active ingredient, in a breakthrough highly filmogenic formula, ultra-comfortable and protective.
PROPERTIES
Lips and chapped, cracked, irritated zones.
Children and adults.
Apply as often as necessary.
A new generation of barrier-texture:
Its barrier texture isolates against aggressions, repairs and soothes immediately.
INNOVATION MP-lipids: Helps to repair skin’s protective barrier in its different dimensions, associated to [Panthenol 5%] for an immediate relief.
Tested on the most vulnerable lips…

limiting dehydration in the short term
contributing to the cutaneous barrier reconstruction in deep
immediately favoring soothing sensations
lastingly improving cutaneous comfort

Ingredients:
CAPRYLIC / CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PPG-5 PENTAERYTHRITYL ETHER, PEG-5 PENTAERYTHRITYL ETHER, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER / SHEA BUTTER, CERA ALBA / BEESWAX, PANTHENOL, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, SILICA SILYLATE, POLYBUTENE, GLYCINE SOJA / SOYBEAN STEROLS, AQUA / WATER, SODIUM SACCHARIN, MYRISTYL MALATE PHOSPHONIC ACID, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE.
This lip balm comes in a squeeze tube. As for me, I don’t really appreciate such packages and prefer sticks.
The formula is thick and transparent.
What I like about it is a nice scent and a sweet and non-chemical taste about it.
The effect after use:
Does it restore dry lips?
Yes, but not as quickly as I would like it to. One has pretty high hopes about such a lip balm. And I thought that I would get perfect lips overnight.
In reality it does nourish my lips, but I have to apply multiple coats to get better results. It heals my cracked lips as well, but again…it requires much time and multiple layering.
Some of you probably say that I expect incredible results overnight in vain. But I actually got such an effect after using a Shea Lip Butter, so…it was like a salvation for me. But this lip balm is so pricey that I thought I would be literally wowed.
Does it protect my lips from chapping and drying?
Yes, absolutely... provided you use it every time you go out.
I choose this lip balm over the popular Uriage Lip Balm in a stick when comparing them both, because the latter is not that effective when it comes to protective properties.
My overall thoughts:
I loved this lip balm in general. It’s good as a product against chapped and cracked lips for winter. It helps maintain my lips in good condition when used regularly.
I don’t have any complaints about the ingredients either. It didn’t cause any irritation on me.
As a rule I use this lip balm before going out, when it’s windy or snowing. It does a good job here, so I recommend you try it.
Thanks for reading!
