Why Are My Lips Always Dry? The Truth About Lip Balm Ingredients

Writer's picture: Lauren HendersonLauren Henderson
If you’re constantly battling dry, chapped lips, you’re not alone. Many people find themselves applying lip balm over and over, only to wonder why their lips feel worse off than before. The culprit could very well be the very product you’re relying on to provide relief. Lets find out the truth about lip balm ingredients.

Let’s break it down: not all lip balms are created equal. The vast majority of commercial lip balms on the market contain ingredients like *petroleum jelly* or *mineral oils*. While these substances may offer a temporary feeling of moisture, they don’t actually hydrate your lips. In fact, they create a barrier that traps moisture out rather than locking it in, leaving your lips drier in the long run.




The Problem with Petroleum-Based Lip Balms

Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of the oil industry—yes, the same one responsible for fuelling your car. While refined and deemed “safe” for skin use, it provides a false sense of hydration. Instead of nourishing your lips, it sits on the surface, acting like plastic wrap. Over time, this can disrupt your skin’s natural ability to retain moisture, making you more dependent on the product.

Other synthetic ingredients like parabens, synthetic fragrances, and artificial colours can further irritate your lips, leading to a vicious cycle of dryness, application, and more dryness.

Enter: Nature’s Remedy

At Wyld Hyde, we take a different approach. Our lip balms are crafted using *tallow*, *beeswax*, and other natural, nutrient-rich ingredients that work with your body—not against it.

Why Tallow?

Tallow is a powerhouse ingredient rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are easily absorbed by your skin. It closely mimics the natural oils found in our skin, making it deeply nourishing and effective for repairing dryness and damage. Unlike petroleum, tallow doesn’t just sit on the surface; it penetrates and hydrates, helping to restore your lips’ natural moisture barrier.

The Beeswax Bonus

Beeswax is another unsung hero. Not only does it provide a protective barrier against environmental stressors, but it also allows your lips to breathe. It seals in moisture while soothing and softening chapped skin.

The Wyld Hyde Difference

Our tallow and beeswax-based lip balm doesn’t rely on synthetics or fillers. Instead, it’s packed with ingredients your lips actually need. The result? Lips that feel soft, hydrated, and truly healthy—not temporarily masked.

Breaking the Cycle

If you’re ready to say goodbye to endless reapplications and hello to lasting hydration, consider swapping out your synthetic lip balm for a natural alternative. Your lips deserve ingredients that nourish, protect, and heal—not ones that keep them thirsty for more.

Give Wyld Hyde Lip Balm a go, and let your lips experience the difference nature makes. No more guessing, no more reapplying—just naturally happy, hydrated lips.
