What ingredients should I look for in lip care products?

Ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E help condition lips and keep moisture where it belongs. Natural oils like jojoba and coconut create a protective barrier that helps lips retain moisture. We prioritise ethically sourced ingredients, so you will find Community Fair Trade shea butter from Ghana conditioning and protecting lips. Hemp seed oil is known for its intense hydration, and when your lips need extra nourishment it is worth reaching for a thicker formula such as a lip butter.

What is the difference between lip balm and lip butter?

Both look after your lips, but they differ in texture and intensity. Lip balms have a lighter consistency that suits everyday hydration and regular top-ups throughout the day. Lip butters are richer and thicker, delivering concentrated moisture with natural scents. That makes a lip butter the better pick for deeper nourishment, particularly as an overnight lip treatment.

Which Born Lippy lip balm flavours can I choose from?

The Born Lippy line leans fruity, with Watermelon, Strawberry, Cherry Glaze, and Peach Ice Tea all on the menu. If your tastes run sweeter, Caramel Cream and Matcha Latte round out the range. Every balm softens and nourishes dry lips, so the only hard part is settling on a favourite; at this size there is no harm in collecting a few. There are plenty more lip balms to compare if you are still deciding.

How do I care for dry, chapped lips?

Start with gentle exfoliation once or twice a week, using a lip scrub to lift away flaky skin, and follow straight away with a balm rich in natural oils such as coconut. Apply your lip care more often through the day and switch to a thicker formula for overnight conditioning. Winter weather and air conditioning tend to dry out hands as much as lips, so it is worth keeping hydrating hand creams within reach too. Staying hydrated and resisting the urge to lick your lips will also help, and a humidifier can counteract dry indoor air.

Can you wear lip balm under lipstick?

Yes, applying lip balm before lipstick creates a smoother canvas for colour. Give the balm a few minutes to absorb so your lipstick does not slip, and blot lightly before you apply. Gently exfoliating first makes a real difference with matte formulas, which can emphasise dry patches. Many makeup artists swear by this routine for colour that sits evenly and feels comfortable all day.

Whatever your lips need, from a quick swipe of fruity balm to a rich overnight treatment, this collection makes daily lip care an easy habit.
