15 Best Natural Lip Balms Worth Trying Out ASAP

You'll get the shine of a lip gloss and the nourishment of a lip balm with this versatile natural lip balm. One swipe conditions and smooths (TY squalane and coconut oil) and treats lips to a shimmery, soft-pink tint that's zero percent sticky or tacky.

This lip mask gets rid of dry, flaky lips with three key ingredients—papaya extract, hyaluronic acid, sea buckthorn extract. Papaya extract gently exfoliates to dissolve flakes and dry patches, while hyaluronic acid and sea buckthorn work together to draw moisture to your lips and lock it in for hours.

Not only is this natural lip balm made with good-for-you, plant-based ingredients (hello, pomegranate peel and turmeric extracts), it has a gorgeous tint (it comes in six ultra-flattering shades) that leaves lips with a sheer wash of color.

Newsflash: Your lips need protection from UV rays just as much as the rest of your face/body does. So pls, go ahead and shield them with this sunscreen-infused natural lip balm. It's made with plant-based ingredients (like shea butter and sunflower oil) plus SPF 30.

True to its name, this natural lip balm helps repair damaged lips—fast. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula uses coconut oil and jojoba oil to restore your lip's protective barrier. The result? Lips that are ultra-hydrated and feel soft and smooth.

Even though this one is the most inexpensive natural lip balm on the list, it's definitely one of the most nourishing thanks to a blend of sunflower seed oil, chamomile extract, and calendula extract. Stash it in your bag and swipe it on your lips for instant relief from dryness and chapping.

Not only is this balm good for your lips, it's good for the environment too. It's made with organic ingredients like coconut oil and cocoa butter to nourish and smooth, and the sustainable packaging is made without any plastics and is fully compostable too.

Made with just three ingredients—castor oil, castor wax, and candelilla wax—and zero preservatives or common allergens, this fragrance-free balm moisturizes and protects dry, chapped lips without feeling sticky or gooey or causing irritation.

The hero ingredient in this all-natural lip balm? Water-loving hyaluronic acid. The humectant draws moisture to your lips for long-lasting hydration—plus it has lip smoothing and plumping benefits too.

This is the perfect pre-bed lip mask IMO. Slather on the clean, natural formula before you go to sleep (it's made with sea succulent extract and hyaluronic acid to attract moisture and papaya enzymes to get rid of dead skin cells) and wake up to smoother, more hydrated lips in the morning.

Most natural lip balms aren't actually vegan—they use beeswax and/or honey in their formulas because of their moisturizing properties. So if you're looking to go the vegan (and cruelty-free) route, try this option from Bite Beauty. It's made with 100 percent plant-based ingredients and isn't tested on animals either. 

This natural lip balm is a goddamn delight to use. It has a subtle, yet totally refreshing, minty flavor and is infused with soothing cotton oil and ultra-nourishing kokum and shea butters that make your lips feel sooo soft and moisturized.

Anyone with super dry or severely cracked/chapped lips needs this natural lip balm in their medicine cabinet. The ultra-rich formula heals and conditions with a blend of nourishing plant butters and oils, like cocoa butter, moringa seed oil, and babassu seed oil.

This lip balm from Drunk Elephant (it's from one of my favorite clean, natural brands BTW) is technically for your lips, but the multitasking formula can be used on rough patches of skin, dry cuticles, and around your eyes and nose too. It's made with omega-rich avocado oil, plumping peptides, moisturizing mongongo nut oil to smooth and soften delicate skin.

Don't worry, this isn't one of those tingly lip plumpers you used circa 2007. This all-natural lip balm uses gentle plant extracts and volumizing peptides to enhance your natural lip shape and smooth lip lines for a plush, pillowy effect.
