No longer can claim #1 - not anymore.
I have used this lip balm for over 20 years and loved it. Now I find it so ineffective and instead of keeping my lips moist actually does the opposite. So sad and now working on finding a decent replacement.

Long-lasting hydration in a simple, effective lip
Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 is one of the most effective lip treatments I’ve used. It instantly soothes dryness and keeps my lips hydrated for hours. The texture is smooth and not overly greasy, making it comfortable to wear day or night. I like that the ingredients are gentle and effective, with no overpowering scent. The subtle fragrance is pleasant and not distracting. The tube packaging is practical and hygienic, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag. It’s a bit pricier than other balms, but the results are worth it for consistently soft, healthy lips.

L’oreal Ruins Another Classic
I’m incredibly disappointed with this formula change. Nobody asked for it and the new version is inferior. It’s clear this is to consolidate SKUs and not about improvements for the customer OR the environment. L’oreal are trashing this brand.

Hi there- As part of our mission for a more renewable future, Kiehl’s has updated our Lip Balm #1 formula. This iconic formula is now vegan with the removal of beeswax and lanolin. As part of this formula update, our chemists also removed petrolatum from the formula making the overall formula more sustainable. These changes have resulted in a noticeable shift in color and texture vs our old formula.
A lifetime favourite
A favourite I will always come back to! Smells great and feels great on the lips! Is great on its own or with a colour! Never go without and always stock up

This lippie approves
Let me start off by saying I’m a lip balm girlie ✨ In fact, I have a whole makeup bag just for my lip products. Kiel’s consistently delivers moisture, hydration, and that fresh, clean girl scent that I gravate to either in the morning or just before bed. It’s shiny, but never sticky. I love Khiels packaging because it feels so clean, NYC, and just scientific. Love!

Great!
This lip balm is so good. It really sinks into your lips and has a silky, almost Vaseline like texture but lighter. The only thing I would change is the applicator. It’s just like a spout and doesn’t have an actual applicator that goes on the lips without feeling scratchy.
