Lip balms and lip serums might seem like minor beauty products, but they are universally loved, especially in winter. A reliable formula—whether it offers a tint, SPF protection, or intense hydration—is an essential item in every bag and on every desk. Here are the latest lip balm products for your consideration.
1. Inna Organic Rose Geranium Tinted Lip Balm
Price: $20
Inna Organic’s new lip care choice features vegan ingredients with no mineral pigments, animal ingredients, or need for makeup removal. Developed under the EWG and EU COSMOS organic standards, it contains natural extract from Brazilian Sappanwood, which soothes dry, cracked lips.
The delicate “Spring Red” tint comes from the natural Sappanwood extract, providing color without the need for removal. Key synthetic esters in the balm are derived from discarded pomegranate peels. The sweet floral scent of organic rose geranium essential oil adds a non-allergenic therapeutic aroma.
2. THREE Balancing Lip Protector & Rich Lip Mask
Balancing Lip Protector (SPF20/PA++): $34 for 0.1 oz

THREE’s new lip care series combines a “moisturizing film formula” with Tremella polysaccharides to repair sensitive and dry lips, resurrection plant extract for hydration, and ginger essential oil. Vitamin E and B6 enhance the nourishing effect.
The fragrances, including frankincense, bergamot, marjoram, and rosemary essential oils, are expertly blended for a therapeutic effect. The Lip Protector also offers UV protection, making it suitable for all genders as a lip color base or standalone balm. The Rich Lip Mask, with a soft jelly texture, can be applied day or night for enhanced repair and hydration.
