Glossier’s Balm Dotcom had its moment.
Cute packaging, fun flavors, and that whole effortless aesthetic…
But here’s the thing: there are better lip balms out there. Like, way better.
More hydrating. Longer lasting. Better ingredients. And honestly, some just feel a lot more grown up.

Lanolips walked so a lot of trendy lip balms could run.
This stuff is made from medical-grade lanolin, and it’s the thick, ultra-nourishing kind of balm that actually stays put.
It’s great for lips, cuticles, dry patches, heels — you name it.
And no fake scents. Just hydration that works.

You probably already know about this one.
Maybe you’ve seen a derm recommend it. Maybe your grandma uses it. Or maybe you’ve been sleeping on it entirely.
Either way, Aquaphor is such a good occlusive layer that works wonders on chapped lips, cracked hands or feet, super dry skin, or even minor cuts (helps with scars!).

Glossier’s Balm Dotcom was nice. This one is better.
It’s what you wanted Balm Dotcom in rose to be — hydrating, softening, and lightly floral without being perfume-y.
It glides on smooth, doesn’t feel waxy, and makes your lips look like you just drank three liters of water and got a full night of sleep.
Plus, it’s under ten bucks. A win is a win.

You’ve seen the Laneige lip sleeping mask. Probably on TikTok. Or in your friend’s car. Or in the checkout line at Sephora…
It’s that lip balm in the cute little jar that smells like berries and makes your lips look like a glazed donut in the best way possible.
Now in a glowy tube form.
This balm HYDRATES. No weird waxy film. No reapplying every 10 minutes.
Just smooth, dewy lips that feel as good as they look.

Jack Black’s lip balm is made with amazing ingredients, including shea butter and vitamin E, to give your lips the ultimate protection.
It’s soothing and moisturizing, with a SPF 25 to keep your lips safe from the sun too.
With refreshing scents like lemon and mint, this one is a MUST.
