Lip Balm & Lip Tints

Dermal Therapy is Australia’s No. 1 lip balm brand* because we focus on real results. Our lip balm range is clinically tested and trusted by Australians who want to treat the cause of dryness rather than just masking it.

Our range is developed with active ingredients like Urea, Manuka honey, and pawpaw to repair the skin barrier from the inside out.  From the cult favourite Lip Balm Original that started it all, to our tinted lip balm range in four shades – Mocha Brown, Cherry Red, Rose Pink, and Peach Nude – through to seasonal favourites like Berry, Green Apple, Strawberry, and Watermelon sticks, our lip balms are your go-to for smooth, soft, and healthy-looking lips. 

For those who need a little extra care, our Lip Balm Sensitive and Lip Balm Enriched with Manuka Honey deliver ultra-gentle, deeply nourishing relief. And for everyday sun protection, our Lip Balm SPF 50+ keeps your lips shielded year-round.

Lip Balm FAQs

Got questions about lip balm? You’re not alone. From choosing the right formula for dry or sensitive lips, to understanding what ingredients actually work – we’ve got you covered. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about lip care, including which Dermal Therapy lip balms are best for specific skin concerns, how often to apply, and where to buy.

The best lip balm uses a combination of humectants to draw in moisture and occlusives to seal it. Look for active ingredients like Urea that treat dryness at the source. Dermal Therapy lip balms are clinically tested to provide quick results for dry and sensitive lips, in as little as 1 day.

Our range covers every condition. Use Lip Balm Original for daily repair or the Manuka Honey formula for ultra moisturising and healing. We also offer Sensitive and SPF 50 plus options. Our Tinted Balms and Watermelon, Strawberry and Green Apple  sticks provide hydration with a hint of colour or fun flavour.

Dermal Therapy Lip Balm Original is highly recommended by dermatologists for managing the intense dryness, peeling, and sensitivity caused by Accutane (isotretinoin). It is gentle and packed with active ingredients to provide intensive moisture and relief for dry and cracked lips. 

Cheilitis causes inflammation and cracking at the corners of the mouth. You need a non-irritating balm with active hydrating ingredients. Lip Balm Original helps restore the moisture barrier without aggravating reactive skin. Always consult a professional.

Effective lip balms contain Urea to remove flakes and draw in moisture. Manuka honey and pawpaw are excellent for soothing. Lanolin locks in hydration. Always choose an SPF lip balm formula for daily sun protection in the Australian climate.

Your lip skin is thinner than the rest of your face. Daily application maintains the skin barrier and prevents dryness before it starts. It keeps lips soft through seasonal changes. Apply it two to three times daily, or more if desired.

Dryness is caused by weather, sun exposure, and dehydration. Licking your lips or mouth breathing also contributes to the problem. Certain medications and skin conditions like cheilitis cause chronic dryness. Lips lack oil glands, so they rely on external moisture to keep them from drying out. This is why lip balm is a great essential to keep handy.

Apply lip balm two to three times a day for general maintenance. If your lips are severely cracked, apply it more frequently. An overnight application is very effective. It gives active ingredients time to work while you sleep. 

Dermal Therapy also has an Overnight Lip Repair Lip Mask, which is an intensive yet lightweight lip treatment that works to deeply nourish and hydrate your lips while you sleep. 

Yes. Our tinted lip balms are designed for daily wear. They deliver the same clinically tested hydration as our original formula with a sheer wash of colour. They are gentle enough to replace your regular balm or work under lipstick.
