7 Viral Lip Balms That Beauty TikTok Swear By
Paying over $20 for a lip balm seems a little wild until you come across one that actually does what it’s supposed to do. The perfect balm moisturizes without being sticky and messy, protects the lip barrier, and glides on silky without the need for constant reapplication. According to TikTok, a few are worth the chaos and the coins, so we’ve rounded up the top 7 you can grab on Amazon.
Eadem LeChouChou Lip Softening Balm
You’ve probably seen these silver tubes all over your timeline over the past month, thanks to the Sephora haul girlies on TikTok. The brand launched with six original shades—guava fresca, fig sauce, bissap glaze, butter mochi, burnt malai, and boba bounce—but now the family is growing. Two new shades, sakura shaved ice and chateau rose, just dropped, rounding out the lineup with a range of pinks and browns.
Olehenriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
Now this is something you will never want to leave home without. This treatment goes far beyond just gloss, with its skin-strengthening peptides and kokum butter that plump, smooth fine lines, and, of course, hydrate. We suggest stocking up on your favorite flavor so you are never caught off guard.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Butter describes this product to a T. It slides on super smooth and melts into your skin just like butter would on a hot roll. What sets this product apart is that it conditions and softens while still giving off a hint of color and a lot of shine, which is always the goal. Trust us, it’s worth $24.

Topicals Slick Salve Lip Balm
Black people and glycerin go together real bad, and Topicals remembered that when formulating their slick salve lip balm that is always flying off the shelves. It also has hyaluronic acid, rice bran wax, and cling technology that creates a protective moisture shield that locks in moisture all day.
E.l.f Glow Reviver Melting Balm
It is said that this Glow Reviver balm is a dupe for Summer Fridays, so if you’re on a budget and want to spend your $20+ elsewhere, this is a good choice. Priced at only $5, you can have the quality and the glam guilt-free.
Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm
Cay Skin, a Black-owned brand, is shaking up the beauty industry with its Isle Lip Balm. Not only is it vegan, but it’s also full of seamoss, aloe stem cells, and shea oil — and yes, it has SPF 30. While lip protection from the sun is often an afterthought, Cay Skin thoroughly understood the assignment.

It’s made with a sweet mint flavor to help cut down the sunscreen taste, plus phyto-derived esters, shea butter, cupuaçu butter, and plant squalane to keep lips moisturized and protected.
