Farmstay Real Cica Essential Lip Balm

It's a soothing, protective lip balm built around Centella Asiatica (cica) extract, known for calming sensitive or irritated skin. It deeply moisturizes dry, chapped lips while a coconut-and-botanical oil base seals in hydration. Menthol adds a light cooling sensation, and ceramide NP helps reinforce the lip's protective barrier.

Cica is Centella Asiatica, a plant extract rich in four soothing compounds: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. In skincare it's prized for calming irritation and supporting skin repair. In this balm, cica helps soothe sore, cracked, or sensitive lips while the oils restore softness and moisture.

It's best for people with sensitive, irritated, or frequently cracked lips who want soothing care, not just moisture. The cica extract makes it a good pick if your lips get sore, red, or react easily. If you simply want rich hydration without actives, the coconut version of this balm may suit you better.

Yes — the menthol gives a light, refreshing cooling sensation when you apply it, which many people find pleasant and soothing on irritated lips. The effect is mild and fades quickly. If you dislike tingling balms or have very reactive lips, you may prefer a menthol-free option like the coconut version.

Apply a thin layer to clean lips whenever they feel dry, sore, or tight — morning, night, and as needed during the day. For irritated or peeling lips, apply a generous layer before bed so the cica and oils work overnight. Reapply freely; the formula is designed for comfortable, repeated daily use.

Centella Asiatica extract soothes and calms; menthol cools and refreshes. Macadamia, jojoba, and sunflower seed oils nourish and soften, while petrolatum and microcrystalline wax lock in moisture. Squalane mimics the skin's own lipids, and ceramide NP plus tocopherol (vitamin E) strengthen and protect the lip barrier.

The cica extract is soothing and the formula targets sensitive lips, but it does contain menthol and added fragrance, including allergens like limonene, linalool, and citronellol. If you have a known fragrance sensitivity or reactive lips, patch test first. For truly fragrance-sensitive users, choose an unscented, menthol-free balm instead.
