Vegan butters, a glossy non sticky finish, and the sheer tints that broke the internet.

Quick Take
The Lip Butter Balm is that rare viral product that actually delivers: shea and murumuru seed butters in a 100 percent vegan formula that hydrates like a mask and shines like a gloss. At $24 for half an ounce, it is pricey for a lip balm but competitive with the lip treatments it replaces.
What We Like
- Intensely hydrating vegan formula with shea and murumuru butters
- Non sticky glossy finish that looks expensive
- Sheer tint shades flatter a wide range of skin tones
- Doubles as an overnight lip mask
- Cruelty free and vegan
What We Don’t Like
- $24 is a lot for half an ounce of lip balm
- The tube packaging is less hygienic than a pot or wand
- Popular shades sell out frequently

Full Review
Quality
The texture is the star: buttery and cushiony, never waxy or gritty, with a sweet sugar scent that is pleasant without being cloying. It layers beautifully over lipstick or wears alone, and the hydration genuinely lasts for hours. The formula feels considered, not just marketed.
Value
Against $10 drugstore balms this looks expensive, but against $30 plus lip treatments and glosses it is fairly priced. One tube replaces a balm, a gloss, and an overnight mask, which makes the math work for most buyers.
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if your lips are chronically dry and you want one product that treats, tints, and glosses.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if you are happy with a basic $5 balm and do not care about tint or gloss.
FINAL VERDICT
The hype is real this time. It is the best feeling lip product in its class, and the vegan formula is a genuine plus rather than a compromise.
