Key Benefits
-
Long-Lasting Hydration
This beautifully nourishing formula absorbs into the lips to replenish lost lipids and gives the lips a skin-like protection level that prevents any lost moisture.
-
No Ordinary Lip Balm
The gel-like balm, infused with nourishing squalane, puts petrolatum-based lip balms in the shade. Petrolatum (aka mineral oil) masks the problem instead of helping improve lips long-term.
-
Healing
The gel-like balm is intensified with plant-sourced sea buckthorn oil, which infuses the top layers of the lip skin with omega oils to visibly repair and restore its natural barrier. This helps to support the natural healing process of chapped lips.

How It Works
The lip skin differs greatly to facial skin; it has a much thinner barrier function and therefore struggles to retain hydration. This is where Mutiny comes to the rescue.
- Natural squalane nourishes and protects the lip skin. Squalane is chemically almost identical to squalene, a natural part of the skin’s sebum and therefore gives the lips a skin-like protection level that prevents moisture from escaping.
- Sea buckthorn oil infuses the lips with a full omega profile, helping to restore the lip’s natural lipid barrier, keeping hydration locked in tight. This incredible plant-sourced oil supports the skin’s natural healing, to visibly recover sore, chapped lips.
- Multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates every layer of the lip skin.
-
How To Use
- Apply a thin layer of Mutiny to the lips as needed.
- Top Tip Use as an indulgent overnight lip mask. Simply apply a thick layer before bed and wake up to visibly smooth, soft and nourished lips.
- Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to medik8.co/patch for an in-depth guide to patch testing.

‘Squalane is almost chemically identical to squalene, a molecule which makes up about 12% of our sebum. It works as a protective, moisturising barrier over the skin to lock in hydration. The difference between squalene and squalane is reactivity; squalene has reactive double bonds which in skincare can oxidise, block pores and cause blemishes. Squalane, however, is entirely unreactive on the skin and non-comedogenic. It is able to penetrate into the natural lipids of the skin, absorbing effortlessly and replenishing the skin’s natural barrier. The result; visibly soft, supple and smooth skin.’
