Lip Balm
Do you re-apply lip balm only to find your lips drier than before? Ilia Balmy Days lip balm soothes and repairs dryness, leaving your lips soft even after it wears off.
Why it's Effective
Balmy Days soothes upon application and continues to work while it’s on. Put this on as a nightly treatment and wake up with hydrated lips.

Buttery smooth and non-sticky texture
Mild taste
Great for kids’ chapped lips and faces too
Why It's Safe
Lip products are absorbed through the skin and essentially consumed, so safety here is key.
Balmy Days is free of the following toxins commonly found in lip balms:
Petrolatum - also known as mineral oil, petroleum jelly or paraffin oil. Petrolatum is derived from petroleum and when not properly refined, can be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are carcinogenic.
Parabens - artificial preservatives associated with endocrine disruption, cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity.
PEGs (polyethylene glycols)- penetration enhancers that may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide which are associated with reproductive, developmental, and endocrine effects, cancer, and DNA damage.
Fragrance - mix of fragrance and chemicals associated with allergies, dermatitis, respiratory distress and potential effects on the reproductive system. Can contain unnamed toxic ingredients like phthalates which disrupt the endocrine system.
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) – preservative with concerns of skin, eye, and lung irritation, and organ system toxicity. Limited evidence of carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption.
Many lip balms contain flavor which are unknown substances used by manufacturers to produce or mask flavor. Balmy Days has no added flavor.
