Brilio.net - Lip balm is one of the lip care products that almost everyone uses. This is thanks to its powerful benefits in maintaining lip moisture and hydration. These benefits are obtained from the main ingredients of lip balm such as shea butter, petroleum jelly, plant oils, and vitamin E.

Lip balm is usually routinely used before applying lip makeup or before going to bed. Most people rely on this lip care product to moisturize, make their lips fresh and no longer dry. But unfortunately, because the ingredients are moisturizing, lip balm products usually have a soft texture, so they break easily.
