A peptide-rich argan butter lip balm clinically proven to deliver 24-hour hydration with no sticky feel, in three Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
Argan Butter Lip Balm | Moroccanoil
Lip care has historically been an afterthought. The Moroccanoil Argan Butter Lip Balm is the argument that it shouldn't be. Powered by argan oil, hydrogenated argan butter, a dual-peptide complex, and hyaluronic acid, it delivers clinically proven 24-hour hydration from a single application with no sticky feel, no waxy residue, and a subtle shine that reads as healthy rather than glossy. Available in three Mediterranean-inspired flavors and finishes.
Moroccan Mint Tea — Sheer, transparent finish with a refreshing, cooling mint flavor. No tint. Pure hydration with the clean, invigorating sensory lift of fresh mint.
Berry Pomegranate — A vibrant sheer berry tint with a fresh, juicy flavor. Adds a hint of color while delivering the same full nourishing treatment as the other variants.
Vanilla Date — A soft pinky nude tint with a warm, sweet vanilla and date flavor. A universally flattering everyday lip color that looks like your lips but better.
The formula is built around four actives that work differently from standard lip balm ingredients. Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Moroccanoil's signature ingredient, is rich in natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), phenols, carotenes, and essential fatty acids that penetrate the lip surface to condition and nourish from within rather than coating it. Hydrogenated Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, the argan butter component, is a natural emollient derived from argan oil that provides a richer, more substantive conditioning effect on the delicate lip skin. Together they form the most concentrated argan-powered lip treatment available in the brand's lineup.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 are a dual-peptide complex included for their ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve hydration retention, and protect against environmental damage. In the lip context, consistent use over time supports softer, fuller, more youthful-looking lips at the level where that change is actually generated rather than just temporarily simulated. Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) delivers the immediate plumping and moisture-binding effect that makes the formula feel substantively hydrating from the very first application.
A proprietary slanted applicator tip fits the natural contour of the lips for precise, even application without over-applying or wasting product.
Clinically proven to provide up to 24 hours of hydration after a single application, based on an independent lab study. No sticky feel. No waxy residue. Three Mediterranean-inspired flavors and finishes chosen to complement different skin tones and occasions.
