16 of our favorite balms with high-quality ingredients, with enough variety in texture, forms, and shape to satisfy just about everybody
Photo: Heather Hazzan Lip balms preference is extremely subjective. Do you like your balm in the form of a stick, a pot, or a tube? Do you prefer it gooey? Waxy? Cooling to the touch? Or is a wet blanket of gleaming gloss more to your liking? That said, what most good lip balms have in common are the ingredients. Shea butter is huge, of course, as is cocoa butter, and then there’s a long list of oils . Below, we’ve rounded up .
$28 at Amazon Buy $28 at Amazon Buy If You Want More Than a Little Tint Kari Gran Cora Gold Lip Whip If a lip balm and a lipstick had a baby, this cushiony formula would be it. Depositing a little more pigment than most tinted balms, its eight shades range from shimmery sand to a deep wine. Can’t decide what you want? Creator Gran also makes sheer versions where all you have to do is choose between cinnamon and peppermint flavors.
$14 at Susanne Kaufmann Buy The One That Also Tints Cheeks Balmyard Beauty Baby Love Balm Lip + Cheek Tint This new brand specializes in body, hair, and face oils made from indigenous Caribbean ingredients like Jamaican Black Castor Oil and West Indian blossoms. Its three tints are packed with cocoa butter and coconut oil.
$22 at Amazon Buy $22 at Amazon Buy The Comforter Le Labo Camphor Balm On Le Labo’s website, the word “unscented” appears just below the name of this product, but must I respectfully challenge that description. The culprit is the soothing camphor. If Vicks Vapo-Rub conjures up cozy childhood memories, you are going to love dipping your finger into this jar and patting it on your lips. The formula is really silky, and that aforementioned camphor provides a noticeable tingle.
$16 at Ulta Buy The Slick One Clarks Botanicals Ultra Rich Lip Balm Founder Francesco Clark took jasmine oil, the signature active ingredient from his skin-care line, and mixed in aloe, shea butter and jojoba. Vanilla scented, this softening rich salve imparts a shiny and slick coating to lips.
