At skin temperature it melts instantly from a soft solid into a silky, oil-like film — spreading effortlessly without the heaviness or stickiness typically associated with petrolatum products. A Japan-domestic quasi-drug (医薬部外品) sold at Matsumotokiyoshi, it has been a perennial @cosme Best Balm award winner and Hall of Fame inductee since its launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single medicated active is \u003cstrong\u003eglycyrrhetinic acid stearyl\u003c\/strong\u003e — a lipid-soluble form of licorice-derived anti-inflammatory that penetrates the skin barrier more effectively than water-soluble glycyrrhizate, making it particularly suited to deep sealing work on heavily stressed or chapped areas. Sugar squalane forms the base alongside ultra-pure petrolatum, giving the balm an unusually clean skin-feel — not waxy, not greasy, but a thin, barely-there film that holds overnight or through the day under makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 20g jar is compact enough for a bag or desk drawer. Suitable for face, lips, cuticles, and dry body patches. Unfragranced and neutral enough for use on children. For users already in the IHADA routine, the balm is the ideal fourth step after lotion, emulsion, and moisturiser — targeting any residual dry zones with a concentrated dose of barrier protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHADA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708802810109,"sku":null,"price":14.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/7556\/8893\/files\/ihada-medicated-balm-20g.webp?v=1781778871","url":"https:\/\/tokyoshelf.com\/products\/ihada-medicated-balm-20g","provider":"Tokyo Shelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
