Product details

Description

The Ordinary Squalane and Amino Acids Hydrating Lip Balm is a high-performance, multi-use treatment designed to provide immediate relief for dry and parched skin. While primarily formulated for the lips, its rich yet lightweight texture makes it equally effective for softening rough elbows and nourishing dry cuticles. This formula stands out by combining the deep emollient properties of Squalane with a specialized complex of skin-identical amino acids.

Squalane works to mimic the skin's natural oils, offering instant hydration and supporting the vital moisture barrier. Meanwhile, the amino acids act as powerful humectants that help the skin retain water over time, ensuring long-lasting softness without a greasy residue. This vegan and fragrance-free balm leaves a subtle dewy finish, making it perfect for daily wear or as an overnight treatment.

It is an essential addition to any skincare routine for those seeking authentic, science-backed hydration for sensitive areas.

    Makes me Look Like I Actually Drink Water

    I keep this on me at all times! It has replaced all my other daytime chapsticks. The only thing I dislike is that I don't love it for a night mask, but that's not enough to drop the rating for me. Makes my lips soft and smooth without any rebound drying and cracking.

    I can't recommend this enough. I love the silky feeling and it leaves my lips soft and hydrated. Perfect for colder weather. Simply in love with this lip balm. Must have in your bag.

    Gentle, Helpful, Fragrance Free!

    This arrives perfectly boxed. Pop this out and recycle that little box, thankful for how clean it kept this lip balm on its journey to you. Now, give this a swipe! Right off the bat, I liked that it was fragrance and flavor free. Typically, I like gimmicky lip balms that smell like cherries or taste like cola, but this was refreshing. It's just plain in the most helpful way! This applies like silk and feel smooth but not thick or greasy. It is so comforting and pretty! (There is just a bit of a glow when it's applied). I love how this feels on lips! And, I love how it makes my lips look! Really nice!
