| Verdict | Augustinus Bader's lip balm — TFC8 + shea + squalane in a tube format. The accessible entry product into the Bader ecosystem at $50, sitting below the $290+ Cream and $195 Eye Cream. The Bader-curious customer's first-purchase product. | Eucerin's drugstore lip hero — castor oil + beeswax + shea butter + panthenol + tocopherol in a no-fuss occlusive balm at sub-$10 pricing. The German-pharmacy answer to Aquaphor Healing Ointment shrunk into a lip-specific tube. Doesn't compete with Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask on hype, but it's the long-haul utilitarian SKU dermatologists actually recommend post-procedure or for genuinely cracked lips. |
