Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Jo Malone London - Wild Mint and Ginger Lip Balm" works well for moisturizing the skin.
Ingredient callouts
- Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide 3 0.40% - 0.95%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in it (0.40% - 0.95%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
