Sara Happ® The Lip Slip® Balm

Hydrating Lip Balm for Dry, Chapped and Dull-Looking Lips

Sara Happ The Lip Slip® One Luxe Balm is a rich, cushiony daily lip treatment. It wraps lips in lasting moisture and leaves a glossy, cashmere-soft finish. Protective occlusives seal in hydration, while jojoba, sweet almond, macadamia and castor seed oils keep lips supple. A subtle shimmer and a delicate rose-vanilla scent make it a pleasure to reapply all day.

As Sara Happ puts it: the world doesn't need another lip balm. It needs the right one.

Why It Is Different

Most lip balms feel waxy, fade within minutes or leave lips drier once they wear off. The Lip Slip® works more like a lip treatment. Its dense, cushiony texture stays on the lips and forms a protective layer that holds moisture in, while nourishing oils keep lips supple. It comes in a jar, so it won't leak in a handbag, and a little goes a long way.

How It Works

• Polybutene and paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil) create a cushioned, glossy film that helps reduce moisture loss, the key to keeping lips soft.
• Cera alba (beeswax) gives the balm its structure and adds a protective, comforting layer.
• Jojoba, sweet almond and macadamia oils provide softening lipids for suppleness and comfort.
• Castor seed oil, rich in ricinoleic acid, moisturizes and helps limit water loss from the lips.
• Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) provides antioxidant support and conditions the lips.
• Light-reflecting minerals create a subtle shimmer that helps lips look healthy and luminous.

How to Use

1. Exfoliate with Sara Happ The Lip Scrub, then wipe lips clean.
2. Smooth The Lip Slip® onto lips.
3. Wear it alone for a silky shine, or under or over lip colour.
4. Reapply whenever lips feel dry.
5. Apply a generous layer at bedtime for overnight care.

Loshen & Crem's Recommendation

Press the balm onto your lips rather than rubbing it back and forth. It spreads more evenly, and you'll need less.

In an Edmonton winter, lips lose moisture quickly to cold air outside and dry heat inside. Apply The Lip Slip® before going outdoors and again before bed, when lips have hours to recover. Try not to lick your lips between applications; it dries them out faster.

Before lipstick, apply a thin layer and let it settle for a minute. Blot lightly so your colour doesn't slide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sara Happ The Lip Slip® Balm?
It is a rich, deeply moisturizing daily lip treatment. It helps seal in hydration, softens lips with nourishing oils and leaves a glossy finish with a subtle shimmer.

Is The Lip Slip® Balm tinted?
No. The original One Luxe Balm has a subtle shimmer rather than colour. It gives lips a glossy, healthy-looking finish that brings out their natural colour.

It has a delicate rose-vanilla scent.

Can I wear it overnight?
Yes. Apply a generous layer before bed. For a dedicated overnight treatment, Sara Happ also offers The Dream Slip®.

Can I wear it with lipstick?
Yes. Use a thin layer under lipstick as a smoothing base, blotting lightly first, or dab it over colour for extra shine.

Yes, listed as paraffinum liquidum. Cosmetic-grade mineral oil is a well-tolerated occlusive that helps prevent moisture loss, which is exactly what dry lips need.

Is it cruelty-free?
Sara Happ states that The Lip Slip® Balm is not tested on animals.

Is it suitable for someone with a nut allergy?
It contains sweet almond and macadamia oils. Anyone with a tree nut allergy, or a sensitivity to beeswax, should review the full ingredient list and consult a healthcare professional before use.

Should I use it with The Lip Scrub?
Yes, they are designed to work together. The Lip Scrub removes dry, flaky skin, and The Lip Slip® then moisturizes and smooths the fresh surface.
