The skin of the lips is the thinnest and most sensitive part of the face. The influence of the environment does not always favorably affect it. And if we add here the daily application of decorative cosmetics by the beautiful half of humanity, then the result is dry and devoid of former beauty lips.
The only effective way out in this case is to use lip balm or lip balm. Both options are practically no different from each other, except that balms can have a more liquid consistency. But the effect will be the same - moisturizing, protection and treatment. That is a complete lip care.
Not all representatives of this segment cope with their task, because the composition of hygienic lipstick plays the main role here. Some manufacturers are trying to save money on this, as a result, the desired effect is not visible, and sometimes even more harm than good. This is especially true for non-name products from Asian countries. Therefore, the choice of balm or hygienic lipstick should be approached very seriously. We will try to consider the most notable representatives of this segment. We will capture both the budget and premium sectors.
So, we present to your attention a listof the best hygienic lipsticks, which includes the most popular products that are distinguished by their quality composition, as well as their effectiveness.

Let's consider all the participants in more detail.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula
The manufacturer positions hygienic lipstick primarily as an excellent protection against severe Russian frosts and dry winds. In addition, the balm after application protects the lips from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
Bisabolol and castor oil, which are part of the hygienic lipstick, have a softening and soothing effect, thereby preventing the occurrence of peeling and some kind of inflammation. The consistency moisturizes and nourishes the cells, which has a very positive effect on the appearance of the lips.
Many specific journals have published studies and results of dermatological control where lip balm was tested by a group of climbers and hikers while climbing the Himalayas. The product received a very high rating among a dozen other analogues.
Product Features
The texture of the lipstick is waxy, tactilely pleasant, not at all heavy and comfortably envelopslips. In addition, the balm heals small wounds and removes jams, and the consistency itself does not roll down and is devoid of at least some color tint. As for the reviews about the Norwegian Formula hygienic lipstick, no critical responses were noticed, and the more than democratic price tag does not contribute to this.

Flaws:
for some, the smell seems too obvious and sweet

Nivea Basic Care
Nivea Hygiene Lipstick is primarily designed to protect lips during the winter months and is excellent for skin problems such as chapping. The balm itself comes in the form of a pencil, has a moderately oily consistency and is applied to the lips with due convenience.
It is also worth clarifying that Nivea hygienic lipstick does not heal the skin, but only protects it, protecting it from damage and crackling. Users speak extremely warmly about "Basic Care" from a famous brand. The composition of the lipstick turned out to be light, not sticky and colorless with a smell, which is very important. In addition, the company's marketers did not deceive their consumers: the product really reliably and effectively protects lips. In addition, many users were especially pleased with the cost of lipstick, which does not exceed 120rubles.

- protection along with hydration;
- no discomfort during use;
- no taste, color or smell;
- more than affordable price tag.

Clean Line (chamomile/aloe)
This is one of the best hygienic lipsticks from a domestic manufacturer. The composition of the balm provides a comprehensive triple care: it moisturizes the lips, nourishes them and softens them. Extract from a variety of medicinal chamomile, along with natural oils, wax and aloe juice, soothe the skin, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the environment.
After using hygienic lipstick "Pure Line" lips become smooth and tender. In addition, the product has healing properties and can cope with small wounds. The very texture of the balm is sliding and melting, that is, it does not give the effect of a mask. The absence of at least any color shades and taste allows the product to be classified as unisex.
Distinctive features of lipstick
Users leave completely positive feedback about the Pure Line hygienic lipstick. In its price segment (less than 100 rubles), this is the best option. Some consumers complain about mediocre durability - about two hours on the street, but looking at the price tag, I just can’t turn my tongue to call this moment critical.
Lipstick benefits:
- natural composition;
- in addition to protection, it also has healing properties;
- colorless composition without a pronounced odor;
- unisex;
- extremely attractive price tag for the available features.
Flaws:
low durability

Carmex
Carmex hygienic lipstick will be a great option for those whose lips are constantly flaky, cracked or inflamed. The composition of the balm in the shortest possible time will relieve these problems. In addition, lipstick will greatly alleviate the symptoms of herpes and remove excess wrinkles on the lips, making them even.
Experts in the field recommend the balm not as a daily lip balm, but rather as a healing agent. Lipstick for the most part consists of medical concentrates, and not simple cosmetic oils, so the protection and healing rates are noticeably higher here. Therefore, it is not worth abusing frequent application, as with the same “Clean Line” or “Nivea”. A couple of swabs will be enough before lunch and the same after.
Features of the balm
Users leave mostly positive feedback about Carmex lipstick. It really has pronounced healing effects plus reliably protects lips from environmental influences. Some may not like the Vaseline base and the harsh smell, but the reason for this is the medical focus, and not purely cosmetic.
Lipstick Pros:
- pronounced healing effect;
- very fastresult;
- economical consumption;
- many varieties of balm (volume, method of application and flavors).
Cons:
- Smell may not be to everyone's taste;
- main composition on vaseline.
Estimated price is about 300 rubles.
Lucas' Papaw Ointment
Chapstick from a well-known Australian brand enjoys an enviable popularity among makeup artists and even Hollywood stars. Russian consumers love it for its excellent protective properties, stability and economical consumption.
The composition of the balm includes papaya melon tree extract, which helps to saturate the skin with vitamins, smooth it and protect it from the unfavorable environment. Lipstick can be safely used as a lip mask or as a healing agent for insect bites and burns. The tool copes perfectly with cracks, wounds and tissue regeneration.
Despite the fact that the structure of the balm turned out to be quite thick, the layer at the same time lays down easily, gently enveloping the skin. Moreover, as such, the film does not remain on the lips, and the composition itself is absorbed into the skin. Users leave entirely positive reviews about lipstick. The composition keeps for a long time, does not melt, does not flow and at the same time provides reliable protection. Also, for convenience, the manufacturer produces the product in tubes of different volumes from 15 to 200 ml. The smallest size just got a comfortable lip applicator.

This is perhaps the best that this segment has to offer. The hygienic product combines a protective and moisturizing balm with a high content of pigments. This series is represented by eight intense shades.
The lipstick itself has received the shape of a pencil, but does not need any sharpening. Operation remains similar to this form factor: as needed, you just need to unscrew the thick stylus.
The product contains shea seed oils, jojoba and mango. After applying the lipstick, the texture is melting, delicate and similar to cream. The coating itself is translucent, without much difficulty you can layer the composition to a dense color. The lipstick goes on smoothly, does not peel off and does not flow into cracks. Also, the composition was distinguished by a natural visual component and resistance to abrasion.
