“Enriched with vitamin E and shea butter, this lip balm helps to soften and soothe dry lips.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii oil, olea europaea fruit oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum
