My Black-Owned Lip Care Picks:

1. Fenty Skin Lux Balm: Let’s be real, Rihanna knows a thing or two about creating must-have beauty products. Her Fenty Skin Lux Balm is no exception. Although this product was marketed to men, it is a must-have for women as well. This balm was made with a blend of butters and oils that supply hydration and shine leaving your lips soft and smooth.

2. Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm SPF 30: Take me back to summer with this island-inspired lip balm by supermodel Winnie Harlow that is a tropical vacation in a tube. Packed with sea moss, aloe vera, and SPF 30, this balm delivers intense hydration and protection to your delicate lips.

3. Topicals Slick Salve: We all want shiny and hydrated lips all day every day. And this lip balm from Topicals (founder Olamide Olowe) is the closest thing we have to that. This lip balm lasts long, thanks to its formulation of ceramides and oils that create a protective barrier that locks in moisture and promotes healing.
