Description

Mentholatum Water Lip Medicated Lip Balm Unscented 4.5g is a lightweight quasi-drug lip balm for daily use on dry lips needing hydration without heaviness — the lightest formula in Mentholatum's medicated lip range, using Super Hyaluronic Acid (Acetyl Hyaluronate), Soluble Collagen, and Aloe Vera in a watery-gel texture that absorbs immediately and delivers all-day moisture with an unweighted feel. SPF20/PA++ for everyday UV protection.

  • Super Hyaluronic Acid (Acetyl Hyaluronate) — holds significantly more moisture than standard HA for intense, long-lasting lip plumpness
  • Soluble Collagen — smooths fine lip lines and rough texture for a softer, more even lip surface
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Extract — soothes irritation and supports healing of existing dry lip skin
  • Quasi-drug medicated formula — actively prevents lip chapping
  • Lightweight watery-gel texture — immediate absorption without any heaviness or stickiness
  • 4.5g — larger format for extended daily use

How it works: Acetyl Hyaluronate (the "Super" form) has a modified molecule structure that penetrates the outer stratum corneum more readily than standard high-molecular HA — providing hydration within the lip skin rather than only at the surface. Combined with Soluble Collagen for texture smoothing and Aloe for calming, the Water Lip achieves comprehensive lip hydration at a weight level appropriate for sensitive lips, pre-lipstick application, and all-day wear in warm conditions.

Water Lip as a daily base for lipstick: The lightweight, non-greasy finish makes Water Lip the most compatible of the three Mentholatum lip variants for use directly under lipstick or lip liner — it provides moisture without the slip that causes lipstick to move. Apply, allow 30 seconds to absorb, then apply lip color as normal.

Known in Japan as メンソレータム ウォーターリップ 無香料 4.5g.

Key Ingredients
  • Super Hyaluronic Acid (Acetyl Hyaluronate) — holds greater moisture than standard HA, delivering intense, long-lasting plumpness to the lip surface
  • Soluble Collagen — smooths fine lines and rough texture on lips for a softer, more even appearance
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Extract — soothes irritated lips and supports the skin barrier with gentle anti-inflammatory properties
  • Squalane — conditions without heaviness, locking in moisture from Super HA without any greasy residue

HOW TO USE
  1. Apply 2–3 strokes to clean lips, layering for extra hydration.
  2. Use morning and night, and reapply throughout the day as needed.
  3. Works well as a base layer under tinted balm or lipstick — apply and wait 1–2 minutes before adding colour.
  4. Pro tip: the Water Lip layers well with the Premium Melty Cream Lip — apply Water Lip first for hydration, then Premium on top at night for occlusion.

FAQ

How is this different from the Premium Melty Cream Lip?

The Water Lip is lighter and more watery in texture — suited to people who dislike the dense, occlusive feel of vaseline-heavy balms. The Premium Melty Cream Lip provides stronger long-hold occlusion; the Water Lip delivers fast-absorbing hydration with a fresh finish. Both can be used together.

Is it non-sticky and comfortable under a mask?

Yes. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and does not transfer heavily to fabric. It is a popular choice for daytime wear under a mask precisely because it does not feel heavy or sticky.

Can children use this?

The fragrance-free, menthol-free formula is gentle and has been used widely in Japan by adults and older children. If in doubt, consult a dermatologist before use on very young children.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

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