Here's an honest look at the Blue EGF Barrier Lip Balm.
What it is, in one minute
- A blue water-gel lip balm (10 mL) that melts onto lips.
- What's inside: shea butter, squalane, ceramide NP, panthenol, urea, sodium guaiazulene sulfonate and sh-oligopeptide-1 (EGF), with avocado and sunflower oils.
- Menthol-free. It contains chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) flower oil, an essential oil — so it isn't fragrance-free.
It's a good fit if…
- Your lips feel dry, flaky or tight, especially in cold weather.
- You dislike the tingle of menthol balms.
- You want a balm that works under lip makeup and as a night lip mask.
Skip it — or pair it — if…
- You avoid all essential oils — choose a balm with none.
- You've reacted to chamomile or plants in the daisy family — skip it or patch test first.
- Your lips are cracked and bleeding or not healing — see a doctor.
How to use it
- Morning: a thin layer before lip makeup.
- Through the day: reapply when lips feel dry.
- Night: a thicker layer as a lip mask.
