Most lip balms temporarily soften the lips by coating the surface with waxes and occlusive ingredients, often creating a cycle of constant reapplication without improving long-term lip condition. The Biba Los Angeles Lip Treatment was developed to help restore hydration balance and improve lip comfort rather than relying on heavy surface coating alone.
WHY LIPS OFTEN STAY DRY
Dry, reactive lips are frequently over-coated but under-supported. This formula takes a treatment-driven approach using sunflower oil to replenish, squalane and amino acids to support moisture balance, peptides to help refine lip texture, and CoQ10 for antioxidant support. The goal is to help lips feel softer, smoother, and less reactive over time rather than temporarily masked with heavy waxes.

LIGHTWEIGHT HYDRATION WITHOUT HEAVINESS
The texture is smooth, lightweight, and comfortable for daily wear, including under or over lipstick. With continued use, lips often feel more balanced and less dependent on constant reapplication. The formula also works effectively as an overnight lip treatment to help reduce visible flaking and restore softness by morning.
DEVELOPED FOR SENSITIVE, DRY, AND REACTIVE LIPS
Fragrance-free and flavorless, this lip treatment was formulated for sensitive lips and focuses on improving lip condition without unnecessary additives. Developed by a clinical facialist and tested in real treatment settings, the formula reflects observed performance rather than trend-driven formulation.
IS THIS A TRADITIONAL LIP BALM?
No. This is a treatment-based lip formula designed to help improve hydration balance and lip condition over time rather than simply coating the lips temporarily.
CAN I USE THIS UNDER LIPSTICK?
Yes. The lightweight texture wears comfortably under or over lipstick without feeling heavy or overly glossy.
CAN THIS BE USED AS AN OVERNIGHT LIP TREATMENT?
Yes. Many clients use it overnight to help soften dry, flaky lips and improve comfort by morning.
Healthier lips often come from supporting hydration balance consistently — not from constantly reapplying heavier lip balms.
RESTORES HYDRATION AND REDUCES DRYNESS
helps replenish moisture with sunflower oil, squalane, and amino acids to improve overall lip comfort.
IMPROVES SOFTNESS AND TEXTURE
smooths the lips over time with peptides that support a more refined, even surface.
REDUCES FLAKING AND ROUGHNESS
helps minimize visible dryness and peeling by supporting consistent hydration.
SUPPORTS MOISTURE BALANCE
helps the lips retain hydration so they feel more comfortable and less reactive throughout the day.
PROTECTS AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS
includes CoQ10 and supportive ingredients to help defend against external factors that contribute to dryness.
LIGHTWEIGHT, NON-BUILDING TEXTURE
conditions the lips without heaviness, stickiness, or surface buildup.
REDUCES DEPENDENCE ON CONSTANT REAPPLICATION
with consistent use, lips feel more balanced and less reliant on frequent application.
IS THIS A LIP BALM OR A TREATMENT?
both, but it was developed as a treatment first. it is designed to improve how the lips feel over time, not just temporarily soften them.
WHY DO MY LIPS STAY DRY EVEN WHEN I USE LIP BALM?
many lip balms rely on waxes that coat the surface without improving underlying dryness, leading to constant reapplication without lasting change.
WHAT CAUSES DRY, CHAPPED LIPS?
dryness often comes from dehydration, environmental stress, and barrier disruption. lips do not have oil glands and rely entirely on external support to maintain balance.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LIP BALMS?
it takes a treatment-based approach, supporting hydration and improving texture rather than simply coating the lips.
WILL THIS HELP WITH PEELING OR FLAKING?
yes. flaking is often a sign of imbalance, and consistent hydration helps reduce that cycle.
IS IT STICKY OR GLOSSY?
no. it leaves a soft, natural finish without heaviness or stickiness.
CAN I USE IT OVERNIGHT?
yes. applying a more generous layer at night helps support recovery and improve softness by morning.
CAN I USE THIS INSTEAD OF A LIP MASK?
yes. a consistent, well-formulated treatment is often more effective than layering multiple products.
WILL IT HELP WITH LIP LINES?
it can improve the appearance of lines caused by dryness by supporting hydration and smoothness.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE LIPS?
yes. it is fragrance-free and formulated to minimize irritation.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE IT?
use as needed. consistency is more important than frequency.
CAN LIP BALM MAKE LIPS WORSE OVER TIME?
in some cases, yes. formulas that only coat the surface can lead to repeated use without improving dryness.
HOW DO I KNOW IF A LIP PRODUCT IS WORKING?
the lips should feel more comfortable and less reactive over time, with reduced need for constant reapplication.
IS IT SAFE DURING PREGNANCY OR NURSING?
yes. there are no known pregnancy-restricted ingredients, but consult your doctor if unsure.
IS IT CRUELTY-FREE AND VEGAN?
yes. it is cruelty-free and does not contain animal-derived ingredients.
HOW LONG WILL ONE TUBE LAST?
with regular use, one tube typically lasts about 6–8 weeks.

This stuff has definitely helped my lips recover from constant dryness and cracking. It's a slow process but this lip treatment is a definite help. Squalane tends to be bit sticky for me so I use it as an overnight treatment.
Finally a lip hydration that actually leaves my lips hydrated, soft and dewy. So often I find that lip products dry lips out later in the day, not with this one.
Lip balm fanatic here and this is my absolute favorite—the best!! The texture is perfect—rich but not tacky and lasts through the night. My old lips play young with this dreamy balm. Unscented and also great over or under color.
The lip treatment keeps my lips super moisturized, which is especially appreciated during the winter months! I generally only use it before bed, but even just that makes a huge difference.
I was very happy with this product, I originally had an issue with the first one I received but the companies Customer Service is amazing and did not hesitate to immediately send an replacement for that they have me as a customer forever, Billie Eilish Did not miss a beat describing them, the brand is amazing the lip treatment is amazing and unisex which for me as a male is amazing as I don’t feel like I’m wearing lip gloss, overall love everything love Biba
I've struggled for years trying to find the perfect lip gloss or moisturizer. Biba's Lip Treatment is IT!
Thanks so much! Great for parched summer lips as well as an ongoing moisturizer.
I compulsively look for the best lip "balm" and I found it! It's rich but not sticky, fantastically moisturizing, and basically unscented. When I use it before bed, I wake up with totally hydrated (and yes, plumper) lips. I'm 60, and can/do use it as my going-out lip even without adding color. 100% recommend.
I have very large lips that get dry & chapped daily. This saved my lips during the cold season. I’ve tried every lip product under the sun, this has replaced my revision youth lip treatment. My only complaint is the size they are quite small so I go through them quickly. Please Biba make us some standard size lip tubes :)
I’m updating my review from 1 year ago.
Upon purchasing the lip balm, I was so impressed with how well it performed on my chapped lips. I suffer with chronically dry lips all year round.
I stopped using this lip balm for a couple of months and went back to normal OTC lip balms to see how my lips would feel. Well, they quickly went back to being constantly dry, chapped and bleeding. Nothing was soothing them as well as this lip balm.
My cold sores also subsided a lot while using this lip balm. As soon as I stopped they started re-appearing again. Out of all the lip balms I have tried and tested over the years, this is by far still the best of the best. I will continue to repurchase it and it’ll be the only lip balm I’ll be using from now on. I’ve truly found my miracle lip balm that I have been looking for for so long.
Thank you Biba for creating this masterpiece of a balm :)
Customer service is 10/10 ⭐️
Lip balm snob over here and this treatment is just lovely. It’s slick and fairly long lasting, not sticky and super shiny. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was an issue with the dispenser part and it broke off inside the cap. I can still use it, but need to apply it with my finger. Otherwise I will be repurchasing, which I don’t say often.
This is the best lip treatment out there! It is perfect if you prefer unscented products and it is super moisturizing and silky. It is not sticky at all and has the best texture.
I've used several products because my lips get very dry easily, due to a bigger surface area since having filler in my lips. this is a great treatment, one of the best i've tried for sure. Will be ordering again!|
i’ve used soo many lip treatments… and nothing compares to this one!! the price is a little steep imo.. but a price i’m willing to pay. i have one in my purse and one on my nightstand. it’s worth it!!! truly:)
