Nécessaire The Lip Balm hydrating hyaluronic lip balm — Mint, Niacinamide & Shea for barrier support

Nécessaire The Lip Balm is a shea-based, barrier-support lip treatment formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and a hint of mint for instant hydration and a clear semi-gloss finish.

This lip balm blends proven skincare actives into a lightweight, non-greasy stick designed to soothe and strengthen delicate lip skin. The formula pairs humectants and barrier lipids to attract moisture and help retain it, while a subtle mint essential oil adds a fresh sensation. It’s developed to be gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin and carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.

How does this balm hydrate and protect lips?

The Lip Balm combines hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into the skin with niacinamide, ceramides and omegas that support barrier health. Together these actives help lips appear smoother and feel less prone to dryness. The shea butter base offers emollience without heavy residue, and the clear semi-gloss finish leaves a natural sheen.

• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture on the lip surface.
• Niacinamide smooths texture and can improve lip tone.
• Ceramides and omegas reinforce the skin’s protective barrier.
• Shea butter provides long-lasting emollience and a non-greasy finish.

Will The Lip Balm feel cooling or scented?

Yes — the formula contains pure mint essential oil for a light, cooling uplift on contact. The scent is fine and natural rather than synthetic, contributing to a refreshing application. The balm leaves a soft minty impression without overpowering fragrance.

• Pure mint essential oil for a gentle cooling sensation.
• Clear semi-gloss finish with no tint or shine buildup.
• Fragrance thoughtfully balanced for sensitive skin types.

Is this appropriate for sensitive or eczema-prone lips?

Formulated with skin-friendly actives and tested by dermatologists, the balm is suitable for a range of skin types, including reactive skin. It has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, indicating it meets criteria for use on eczema-prone skin. The product is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

• National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.
• Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic formulation.
• Designed to minimize irritation while supporting barrier health.

How does the packaging and sustainability footprint look?
