DHC Lip Cream, 1.5g

Product Description:

If your lips get dry, rough, or chapped and most balms wear off within the hour, this is the one people keep coming back to. The DHC Lip Cream, available in Canada, is a Japanese cult classic built around olive virgin oil, made to melt into the lips at body temperature and leave behind a rich, comforting veil of moisture that lasts.

As an olive-based lip care product, it pairs olive virgin oil with squalane, aloe, ginseng root extract, and vitamin E, so it nourishes and soothes dry, rough-feeling lips while helping protect them from everyday dryness. The texture is rich and creamy rather than waxy, and it gives a soft, natural sheen. You can wear it alone, use it under lipstick to help it sit smoothly, or layer it on top for extra shine.

It is fragrance-free, colourant-free, and paraben-free, which makes it a gentle everyday choice. Do note that it is built on lanolin and beeswax, so it is not a vegan product, and anyone with a lanolin sensitivity should patch test first. The 1.5g stick is compact and slips easily into a pocket or bag.
