Description

Mentholatum Deep Moist Medicated Lip Balm Unscented 4.5g is a quasi-drug lip balm for chapped, dry, and damaged lips — using Vitamin E Derivative (dl-Alpha Tocopherol Acetate) as the medicated active alongside Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, and Jojoba Oil in a larger 4.5g stick format with an oval tip designed for corner-of-lip and precision edge application. SPF20/PA+ for everyday UV lip protection.

  • Vitamin E Derivative (quasi-drug active) — prevents and treats lip chapping and cracking at the cellular level
  • Hyaluronic Acid — binds water to the lip surface for immediate plumpness and sustained softness
  • Shea Butter — rich emollient sealing in moisture and smoothing rough lip texture
  • Jojoba Oil — compatible with skin's natural lipid chemistry for long-wearing, non-greasy moisture
  • Oval tip applicator — reaches lip corners and fine edge definition for clean application
  • 4.5g — larger format for extended daily use without frequent replacement

How it works: The quasi-drug Vitamin E active works within the lip's epidermal cells to support barrier repair from within — preventing the recurring chapping that basic emollients only temporarily suppress. Combined with Hyaluronic Acid for surface hydration and Shea Butter for emollient sealing, the Deep Moist provides comprehensive treatment across all layers of the lip's thin skin.

Mentholatum Deep Moist vs Water Lip for daily use: Deep Moist's quasi-drug formula is most effective for lips with active recurring chapping, peeling, or cracking that needs medicated treatment rather than simple moisture maintenance. Water Lip is the daily maintenance formula for lips that need consistent hydration but do not have an active chapping condition. When the chapping condition resolves, transitioning to Water Lip for daily maintenance is appropriate.

Known in Japan as メンソレータム 薬用リップスティック ディープモイスト 無香料 4.5g.

Key Ingredients
  • Vitamin E Derivative (dl-Alpha Tocopherol Acetate) — quasi-drug active ingredient that prevents and repairs lip chapping and cracking
  • Hyaluronic Acid — binds water to the lip surface for immediate, lasting plumpness and softness
  • Shea Butter — rich emollient that seals in moisture and smooths rough, flaking texture
  • Jojoba Oil — lightweight conditioning oil that mimics the lip's natural sebum for non-greasy softness

HOW TO USE
  1. Apply 2–3 strokes to clean lips morning and night.
  2. Use the oval tip to reach the corners and edges of the lips for complete coverage.
  3. Reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking.
  4. Pro tip: for stubborn dry patches, apply a slightly heavier layer before bed and leave overnight to let the vitamin E derivative work while you sleep.

FAQ

What makes this different from a regular lip balm?

This is classified as a quasi-drug (医薬部外品) in Japan, which means it contains a registered active pharmaceutical ingredient — vitamin E derivative — specifically approved to treat lip chapping and cracking, not just moisturise. That distinction matters for people with persistently rough lips.

Is it suitable for sensitive lips?

Yes. The formula is fragrance-free and menthol-free, which makes it well-suited for people who find tingling or scented lip products irritating. It has no cooling sensation.

Can I use this as a makeup base?

Yes. The colourless, non-greasy finish means it works well under tinted lip products. Allow it to absorb for 1–2 minutes before applying lip colour for best adhesion.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic quasi-drug formula sourced from Matsumotokiyoshi and Kokumin drugstores in Tokyo. TokyoShelf stocks only Japan-domestic formulas — not export versions.
