Aquaphor Lip Repair ingredients

Which Aquaphor Lip Repair do you have?

The US range includes Lip Repair, Lip Repair Stick, Naturally Inspired Aloe Vera and Coconut sticks, Lip Repair Stick + Sunscreen, and Lip Protectant + SPF 30. Eucerin Aquaphor SOS Lip Repair is another named product, sold in a 10 ml applicator tube. The product name gets you to the right shelf; the extra words do the actual paperwork. Match the full name and country before using an ingredient list, rather than treating every Aquaphor lip product as interchangeable.23

US Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick ingredients

The standard US Lip Repair Stick comes in a 0.17 oz size. Its highlighted ingredients are octyldodecanol, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil and beeswax, and Aquaphor also names shea butter, jojoba oil and nourishing vitamins. The stick is fragrance free and preservative free, and is formulated for sensitive lips. Aquaphor describes immediate relief of dryness and soothing of chapped, cracked lips, with lasting moisture. For the complete formula, read the ingredient panel on your stick's packaging; the highlighted ingredients are not the entire list.1

Eucerin Aquaphor SOS Lip Repair ingredient list

The SOS balm lists: Octyldodecanol, C18 to 38 Alkyl Hydroxystearoyl Stearate, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, CaprylicCapric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Panthenol, Bis Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate 2, Aqua, Polyglyceryl 3 Diisostearate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Cera Alba, Bisabolol, C20 to 40 Alkyl Stearate, Magnesium Stearate and Magnesium Sulfate. Use this list for SOS Lip Repair, not as a substitute for the US Lip Repair tube or stick label.2

What do the SOS balm's key ingredients do?

How do you use SOS Lip Repair?

Apply the translucent balm directly and evenly to your lips whenever they feel dry or tight, and repeat as often as needed. Its soft, spreadable texture needs less pressure than a stick. SOS Lip Repair is fragrance free and preservative free, and is suitable for adults and children aged three years and older. Eucerin describes relief within 60 seconds; relief is not the same as complete repair. Lip skin lacks oil glands, which helps explain why moisture needs regular attention.5

The Canadian stick has sunscreen ingredients

The Canadian Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick registered under DIN 02539365 contains four sunscreen actives: avobenzone 3%, homosalate 9%, octisalate 4.5% and octocrylene 9%. Those are its active ingredients, not its complete formula. Match the DIN on your package before applying these details to a Canadian stick; the US standard stick has a different product listing.6

Aquaphor updates its formulas regularly, so the box is more than a small cardboard obstacle. Use your package's ingredient panel when checking a particular ingredient, especially if the online list and packaging differ.1
