Lip balm is a must have for men and women alike, especially during cold winter months. It will protect the delicate skin of your lips from cold, wind and UV rays, provide it with moisture and nutrients, prevent chapped, cracked and peeling lips. If you’re looking for a high-quality yet affordable lip balm, check out lip balms by Green Pharmacy formulated with vegetable oils and herbal extracts.
The lip skin does not have sweat glands or sebaceous glands (except for a few misplaced sebaceous glands called Fordyce spots). Therefore, it doesn’t have the usual protection layer of sweat and sebum which keeps the lips smooth, hydrated and protected. That’s why the lips dry out faster and become chapped easily. Trying to moisten the lips with saliva doesn’t work because it evaporates quickly and dries the lips out even more. And the negative impact of external factors only aggravates the situation, leading to chapped, cracked, peeling and inflamed lips.
Regular use of lip balm helps to prevent these problems because high-quality lip balms have a strong moisturising, nourishing and softening effect. Besides, some lip balms are formulated with ingredients that have an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect so they speed up the healing of cracked lips. Lip balm creates a thin protection layer on the surface of the lips that prevents dehydration and makes the lips soft and supple.
Key ingredients of natural lip balms typically include vegetable oils rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins (such as jojoba oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, etc.) and extracts obtained from medicinal plants that have an anti-inflammatory, healing and soothing effect. Other common ingredients include beeswax and/or floral wax, aloe vera extracts, allantoin and panthenol. They make the lips softer and keep them hydrated.
