Medik8 Mutiny is a squalane-based alternative lip balm designed to deeply nourish dry, chapped or compromised lips. Unlike traditional petrolatum-based balms, Mutiny uses plant-derived squalane and sea buckthorn oil to replenish lipid levels, strengthen the barrier, and provide instant and long-term comfort. The light gel-like texture melts into the lips to deliver lasting hydration, softness and protection while supporting skin barrier repair.
