Last Friday, we brought you our favourite Egyptian lip gloss brands. This Friday, we’re here to focus on another non-negotiable beauty essential, lip balms! While lips tend to get more chapped and dry during the colder months, we can’t just forget about lip balms once we hit summer—especially if you’re looking for a hot girl summer! So, here are some of the best Egyptian lip balms that you need to have in your skincare cabinet.

1- Luna’s Emollient Lip Therapy

Luna’s Emollient Lip Therapy is among this OG brand’s best sellers, and for good reason! With shea butter, this lip balm is the perfect everyday product to soften your lips. It’s also affordable (44 EGP), like almost all Luna’s products!

2- Shaan’s Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 30

As the name suggests, Shaan’s Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 30 (80 EGP) is a super nourishing option made from a blend of glycerin, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and honey. It is one of Egypt’s most hydrating lip products—with a bonus of SPF 30 to protect your lips from the sun!

3- Essentials’ Strawberry Lip Balm

Although not the most moisturising option, we had to include Essentials’ Strawberry Lip Balm (130 EGP) in this list, thanks to its beautiful soft red shade, which is always a perfect base for any lip combo.

4- Laqué’s Minty Plumping and Refreshing Lip Balm

Nothing beats the refreshing feeling your lips experience right after applying Laqué’s Minty Plumping and Refreshing Lip Balm(110 EGP). Its shea butter, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil hydrate your lips, and the peppermint oil provides a real “minty” gum feeling.

5- Laqué’s SPF 30 Protective Lip Balm

Another favourite from Laqué, their SPF 30 Protective Lip Balm (115 EGP), is one of the few SPF lip balms that leaves no white cast behind while protecting and hydrating your lips.

6- N&Co.’s Cocoa Butter Lip Balm

A lightweight option, N&Co.’s Cocoa Butter Lip Balm (125 EGP) is great for hydration boosts throughout the day. Keep in mind that this one is pretty lightweight, though, so if you’re going through a chapped lips crisis, you’ll need something heavier.

7- Helmaderm’s Lip Balm

With pomegranate seed oil, shea butter, and vitamin E as the main hero ingredients, Helmaderm’s Lip Balm (120 EGP) is a great recovery lip balm for severely chapped lips.
