Helen’s note
Common lip balms pull moisture away, making lips feel dry and in need of constant reapplication—not this one. No more chapped lips and you don’t have to use it often. This ultra-hydrating and protective balm closely resembles the natural sebum within the skin.

Skin Lip Conditioner
Restoring Lip Enhancement
£18.50
A balm that behaves like your skin’s own oils, so lips stay soft rather than needing more every hour. Jojoba fills cracks and softens, rooibos strengthens and protects, kigelia supports elasticity and vitamin E repairs. Lips look fuller and shinier, and stay that way.
Key ingredients
Jojoba Oil – is deeply moisturising, healing and softening.
Rooibos Leaf Extract – is a potent antioxidant that increases capillary strength and defends against environmental aggressors. Vitamin E – is healing and regenerative. Promotes elasticity.
If you're looking to instantly hydrate lips, make them feel rejuvenated and prevent water loss to keep them looking naturally full.
What to expect
- Soft, smooth, comfortable lips
- Fuller, plumper-looking lips
- No more winter flaking
- Less need to reapply
