The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm - 15ml
The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm - 15ml
The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm (15ml) delivers the beautifully hydrated, soft, healthy-looking lips that complete any look. In Kuwait's climate, where air conditioning drains moisture from lips faster than anywhere else on the face, dedicated lip care is not optional — it is essential.
Why The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm?
Lips are anatomically unique: no sebaceous glands, no melanin protection against UV, and a significantly thinner barrier than the rest of the face. They cannot moisturise themselves — they rely entirely on what you apply. The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm is designed with this fully in mind.
Key Benefits
- Deep Hydration:Infused with squalane, it locks in moisture to keep your lips soft and supple.
- Amino Acids:These essential building blocks help to support the skin's natural barrier, enhancing overall lip health.
- Lightweight Texture:This non-greasy balm glides on smoothly, providing comfort without a heavy feel.
- Versatile Use:Perfect for daily wear, it can be used alone or under lip color for added hydration.
Texture & Experience
The texture is luxurious and lipid-rich, melting into lip skin like a second skin rather than sitting on top.
Key Ingredients & What They Do
- Squalane: A plant-derived oil that perfectly mimics the skin's own sebum — delivering weightless hydration without clogging pores, suitable for every skin type.
How to Use
- Apply The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm directly and generously to bare lips at any point throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do lips get so dry in Kuwait?
Kuwait presents uniquely harsh conditions: extreme outdoor heat and UV, combined with intense indoor air conditioning that strips humidity. Lips have no oil glands and no pigment protection — making consistent daily lip care genuinely essential, not a luxury.
Can I use this under lip colour?
Yes — applying The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm as a thin base creates a smoother surface for colour to adhere to, improving both the appearance and longevity of your lip makeup.
