Product Overview
Elevate your daily hydration with The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm, our first truly multi-use moisturizing treatment. Designed to transcend the limits of a standard lip product, this high-performance balm leverages the intense emollience of Squalane and a unique blend of Amino Acids to provide immediate, long-lasting moisture and barrier support. Whether you are battling chapped lips, dry cuticles, or rough elbows, this concentrated formula melts into the skin to soften, nourish, and seal in hydration without a heavy or sticky residue.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them
- Squalane: A saturated and stable hydrocarbon that mimics the skin's natural sebum. It is an exceptional emollient that provides weightless hydration, improves skin flexibility, and supports the moisture barrier without clogging pores.
- Amino Acids: This formulation features a unique blend of skin-identical amino acids. These act as natural humectants, helping the skin to retain water and maintain its structural integrity, resulting in noticeably softer and more resilient skin.

FAQ
Q: Does this balm have a flavor or scent?
A: No. Keeping with The Ordinary’s clinical philosophy, the Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm is unflavored and fragrance-free, making it suitable for everyone.
Q: Can I use this under lipstick?
A: Yes. Because of its non-greasy, Squalane-based finish, it works beautifully as a hydrating base for matte or satin lipsticks to prevent them from drying out.
Q: Is it safe for very sensitive skin?
A: Absolutely. It uses skin-identical ingredients like Squalane and Amino Acids that are naturally recognized by your skin, reducing the risk of irritation.
Q: How does this differ from 100% Plant-Derived Squalane?
A: While the 100% Squalane is a liquid oil, this product is a structured balm. It includes an Amino Acid complex specifically designed to "seal" moisture into the lips and high-friction areas like elbows.
Q: Will it melt in my pocket?
A: The balm is formulated to be stable; however, like any lipid-based product, we recommend keeping it away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to maintain its optimal texture.
Q: Can I use this on my face?
A: Yes. It is non-comedogenic and can be used on small dry patches on the face, though for all-over facial hydration, we recommend our Natural Moisturizing Factors range.
