OMI Menturm Medicated Moisturizing SPF20 Lipbalm Sakura
Why you'll love it
OMI Menturm Medicated Moisturizing SPF20 Lipbalm Sakura is a Japanese tinted lip balm from Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社). In Japan it is sold as Menturm "No Lipstick Needed" Medicated Moist Lip (口紅がいらない薬用モイストリップ) in the shade Sakura. It looks clear in the stick, then turns into a soft, sheer pink on your lips that gives a natural, healthy flush. It also protects with SPF20 PA++. It is a quasi-drug (医薬部外品) with vitamin E and stearyl glycyrrhetinate, plus jojoba oil and olive oil. It is a simple choice for anyone in Bangladesh who wants lip care, a touch of colour and sun protection in one stick.
Key Benefits
- Natural sakura pink tint: Clear in the stick, it develops into a sheer pink on the lips. The shade varies a little from person to person.
- Long-lasting colour: The tint-type formula is made to hold its colour well over time.
- Sun protection for lips: SPF20 PA++ helps shield your lips from UV rays.
- Prevents chapped lips: Helps protect lips from roughness, dryness and cracking.
- Lasting moisture: Refined oils, jojoba oil and olive oil help keep lips soft and moisturised.
- Fragrance-free: It has no added fragrance.
Key Ingredients & How It Works
- Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E): A medicated ingredient that helps keep lips in good condition.
- Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate: A licorice-derived medicated ingredient that helps calm rough, irritated lips.
- Jojoba Oil & Olive Oil: Plant oils that soften lips and help hold in moisture.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate & t-Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane: UV filters that give the SPF20 PA++ sun protection.
- Ascorbyl Tetrahexyldecanoate: An oil-soluble form of vitamin C.
- Isostearoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen: A conditioning ingredient that helps lips feel smooth.
How it works: The balm forms a moisturising layer that helps prevent dryness and cracking, while the UV filters protect your lips from the sun. It contains a colour that reacts on the lips, so it goes on clear and then shows as a natural pink. That is why the shade can look slightly different on each person.
Lip Type & Suitable For
- Suitable for dry, rough or dull-looking lips.
- Great for students, office use and everyday wear when you want a "your lips but better" look.
- Good for anyone in Bangladesh who spends time outdoors and wants sun protection for their lips.
- A fragrance-free option if you do not like scented lip products.
- Note: It contains lanolin and hydrolyzed collagen, so it is not vegan. Check the ingredients if you have allergies.
How to Use
- Clean your lips: Wipe your lips and the area around your mouth, especially after eating.
- Twist up 2–3 mm: It is a slim stick, so do not twist it out too far or it may break.
- Apply: Glide it lightly over your lips 2–3 times.
- Adjust the colour: If the pink looks too strong, press a tissue gently on your lips.
- Reapply: Top up during the day, especially after eating or drinking, or after long sun exposure.
- Close it: Twist the stick back down before replacing the cap.
Important Suggestions
- Patch test on a small part of your lips if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
- Stop using it if you notice redness, swelling, itching or irritation.
- Reapply in strong sun. Bangladesh's sun is intense, so reapply often when you are outdoors for long periods.
- Keep it cool: Heat can soften the slim stick. Do not leave it in a hot car, in direct sunlight or in a hot pocket.
- Avoid broken skin or sores on the lips.
- Keep the cap closed and store it out of reach of children.
