Why does this lip balm contain sunflower oil, and what effect does it have on lips?

Sunflower oil is the core nourishing component of this lip balm. Its primary role is to soften the skin on the lips and improve their suppleness, helping to make flaky or rough areas feel less noticeable upon application. This results in lips that feel smoother and look softer with a natural, gentle sheen rather than a heavy, glossy, or artificially shiny finish. In skincare, plant oils like sunflower oil are commonly used to help form a light film on the skin's surface. This film works to slow down the natural loss of moisture from the lips, which is a key factor in the feeling of dryness or tightness, especially after exposure to wind, cold air, or sun. The use of this particular oil aligns with the balm's purpose as a basic protective cosmetic for everyday comfort.
