What are lip balms?
Lip balm is our daily shield to protect our lips against weather hazards and keep them soft and smooth. We simply can’t live without these little essentials. They mostly include nourishing ingredients so that our lips are soft and do not have that boring chapped, flaky appearance.
Here in this article, we will explore one of our favorite lip balms which is “Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm” formulated for those who want soft lips with a contoured lip line.
Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm
This beauty luxury is a wee bit different and is not just your usual nourishing lip balm.
In addition to the star-nourishing ingredients that usually lip balms have in their formulas, such as shea butter and avocado oil, it is further loaded with antioxidant-rich green tea leaf and Vitamin C to prevent signs of premature aging and promote collagen production.
Age related thinning and sagging of the lip is normal and starts happening 30s onward. It is best to incorporate such a lip balm in your skincare routine asap.
Drunk Elephant Lip Balm Ingredients
Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm contains:
- Tripeptide-1
- Cranberry Seed Oil
- Vitamin C
- Green Tea
- Shea Butter
- Avocado Oil
Tripeptide-1 in a lip balm is like a mini anti-aging treatment for our lips. This peptide works to boost collagen production and enhance skin repair, helping to achieve a contoured lip line.
Think of this lip balm as the retinol for your lips.
Cranberry seed oil is the unsung hero of lip balms, packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and a little balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids to deeply hydrate and repairs cracked skin
Vitamin C and Green tea leaf in lip balm protects against the environmental damage.
Shea butter and avocado oil are the ultimate duo for irresistibly soft, hydrated lips. Packed with fatty acids and vitamins, these natural ingredients work together to smooth away dryness.
Key Takeaway
Drunk Elephant Lippe balm has ingredients with natural emollient properties making it an absolute must-have for anyone craving a luxuriously plump pout. Not only that, but it also promotes collagen production and helps prevent signs of aging giving you a contoured lip line. Since they have peptides in this lip balm.
One thing that I found odd about this lip balm is that it is broader than an average lip size. While this might seem like a minor detail, I found myself struggling with a precise swipe, smudging the balm beyond my lips which is a waste of the product. The design might be less user-friendly for some.
Other than that, it does what it claims. It will keep your lips hydrated and you can say goodbye to dry skin, if you are applying the lip balm almost daily. I find lip balms, including this one, to be working for me if they are used consistently.
FAQs
Is the Drunk Elephant lippe balm good for kids?
Drunk elephant lippe balm can be safely used by children (12 or younger). However, the company discourages using other products from their line that have active ingredients in them.
Why do my lips peel?
The skin on our lips doesn’t have oil glands which is why lips lack oil and more often, they become dry and ultimately lead to surface peeling.
Other reasons include dehydration and dry and cold weather.
How to prevent lip peeling?
It is crucial to have a lip balm in your pocket so that you can apply it regularly to keep lips hydrated and soft.
Exfoliator lip balms are often used to get rid of the dead skin off your lips. Cosrx has one from their line that is our favorite and it can be used twice weekly. (P.S. it is also a lip plumper)
Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm Reviews
This product has some mixed reviews. For some people, it worked wonders for their chapped lips, with some calling it “butter for their lips.” But others felt it was just an average lip balm and nothing too special. One customer on Cult Beauty mentioned, “Bit steep in price for 3g, but as with all Drunk Elephant, it comes with a hefty price tag.”
