Nécessaire The Lip Balm — Hydrating Hyaluronic Mint Lip Balm, 15 ml | Ceramides & Niacinamide for Dry Lips

Nécessaire The Lip Balm is a hydrating, skin-care-forward lip balm that soothes dry lips with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, essential ceramides and a fresh mint finish.

This lip balm is formulated to act like skincare for the lips: a rich shea butter base combined with a targeted barrier complex to hydrate, smooth and support the lip skin. The clear semi-gloss gives a subtle sheen while pure mint essential oil offers a cool, refreshing sensation on application. Clinically tested and recognized by the National Eczema Association, the formula is designed to be gentle for sensitive and reactive skin types.

How does this lip balm hydrate and protect lips?

The formula blends humectants, occlusives and barrier-supporting lipids to both attract moisture and help lips retain it. Hyaluronic acid pulls hydration to the surface while ceramides and omegas reinforce the skin’s natural barrier to reduce water loss.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate hydration
• Essential ceramides to support barrier repair
• Niacinamide to smooth texture and even tone
• Shea butter and omegas to seal in moisture

What will I feel when I apply Pure Mint?

Application delivers a cool, uplifting sensation from pure mint essential oil without heavy fragrance. The balm glides on smoothly, leaving a lightweight semi-gloss finish and rapid relief for tight, dry lips.

• Cools on contact for an instant refreshing feeling
• Clear semi-gloss adds subtle shine without stickiness
• Light texture that layers easily under lipstick
• Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin

Is this lip balm suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
