What do Gigi Hadid and Sabrina Carpenter have in common? They’re both celebrities. They both have blonde hair. And they’re both cool. But there’s one more thing—that is, they allegedly use the exact same iconic Australian lip balm to moisturize, smooth, and plump their famous pouts. Other celebs such as Drew Barrymore, Emily Blunt, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are also apparently fans of the formula.
They’re not the only ones who use it. The lip balm in question currently has 1.7K five-star reviews on Amazon, so you know real customers recommend it too. Take it from reviewers like this one, who says, “I fully believe that when you are told about something ‘old school’ you jump on it. My grandmother got me hooked on this. I decree that anyone who doesn’t slather this all over lips, cuticles, elbows, or any dry areas is missing out.”
You can’t argue with a glowing review like that. The best part? It’s not just a lip balm. Nope, it’s a multipurpose skin balm that can be used all over the face and body to heal dry skin. Keep scrolling to see the exact product.
Lanolips
101 Ointment Original Superbalm
Lanolips 101 Ointment contains lanolin, an ultra-moisturizing, skin-soothing ingredient found naturally on sheep’s wool. The proprietary lanolin that Lanolips uses is apparently three times purer than medical-grade lanolin (so don’t let the whole sheep’s wool thing deter you). It’s so gentle that it can be used on newborn babies’ skin, and it’s 100% natural, dermatologically tested, and cruelty-free.
Impressively, the brand claims that it can hold up to 200 times its weight in moisture, meaning dry, chapped lips are instantly coated, soothed, and protected. However, Lanolips 101 Ointment isn’t just for dry lips. After all, it’s not called Superbalm for nothing. It moisturizes cuticles, heels, and elbows and heals minor injuries (like paper cuts and insect bites). It’s even safe enough for use on psoriasis and eczema.
It even has aesthetic benefits. You can mix it into your favorite foundation formula for a natural, dewy, and hydrated look. Or use it like brow gel if you’re in a pinch. Yep, it’s a true multitasker. This is a good reminder to stock up on a few tubes.
