Pack of 5 Water-Free Lip Balms — Grand-Froid
A single balm never stays where it should in a household: it ends up in someone else's coat. Five sticks let you keep one in every place that matters.
Each stick lays down a film of waxes and rich oils that seals moisture in and shields the surface from the elements. The formula contains no water at all, so nothing in it can freeze against the skin.
Beeswax, shea butter and coconut oil feed the surface, while a vitamin E derivative keeps the blend from oxidising. Vanilla scent, five 4.5 g sticks.
Offers no protection against the sun.
The skin on the lips is far thinner than the skin on the face and makes none of the oil that would shield it: it needs topping up, and often.
In Quebec or Finland nobody asks whether a balm is needed: one goes in every coat. Winter runs five months, heated indoor air parches as much as the street, and the question is never whether you own one but whether you have one within reach at the right moment.
Because lips are the one part of the face with no oil of their own to fall back on: they lose water faster than the rest, and nothing in the body makes up for it.
