Lip balms have been having quite the moment lately, and we couldn't be happier.
The hashtag "#lipbalm" has over 5.7 billion views on TikTok, which means just about everyone has seen or heard about viral lip balms (including us). As lip balm enthusiasts, we've tried just about everything on the market, and here's what's worth the hype offline.
Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment
Chances are, if you've been on social media over the past year, you're probably familiar with this brand. We love Rhode's Peptide Lip Treatment because it smells incredible and also comes in tints! It uses shea butter to help hydrate and moisturize your lips while also using babassu, which can help replenish your skin's moisture and support your skin's microbiome. As the name shows, it is formulated with peptides, which can help plump your lips while helping reduce fine lines. It also contains cupuaçu, which can help improve suppleness for dry lips while helping with skin's elasticity. This lip treatment is vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
This is perhaps the most viral lip balm on this list, and we are happy to report that it is just as good as you think it is. We love it because it doesn't feel super sticky when it's applied, and we love the finish of it, especially the tinted shades. It uses shea butter and murumuru seed butter, which will soothe and condition your lips. It also contains vegan waxes to soften your lips while giving you a fantastic shine. It is also worth noting that the product is vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.
Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm
This is another viral product we are absolutely loving right now. Its packaging is super sleek, and the product is lightweight and hydrating on the lips. This contains shea butter, cupuaçu butter, plant squalane, and phyto-derived esters, which moisturize your lips, leaving them smooth and soft. We also love that these come in a few different shades, so you can give your lips a sheer wash of color while hydrating them. This is gluten-free, vegan and cruelty-free.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
Laneige has had its fair share of viral lip products, like its famous lip mask. Although its Lip Glowy Balm is viral, it is more underrated than the brand's lip mask. We love the Lip Glowy Balm because it only comes in fun shades. It is also super lightweight and uses shea and murumuru butter, which helps moisturize your lips. These also smell nice and fruity, which makes them super fun for warmer weather.
