Accu-soothe Lip Balm is much more than a transparent lip balm or gloss. Ideal for everyday use, it has unique medical properties as well. Accu-soothe restores moderate to severe chapped lips while protecting them with an SPF of 15. 

Accu-soothe contains acetyl mandelic acid. Though it is similar to alpha hydroxy acids, this patented ingredient actually has the opposite effect of AHAs. Rather than loosening the glue-like cohesions that hold cells together on the surface of the skin, it strengthens the inter-cellular bonds, causing the skin cells to cling to the surface of the skin for longer periods of time. This increased cell cohesion allows increased layers or thickness to build and counteract excessive exfoliation caused by Accutane®, wind, or dry climate. This is incredibly effective in preventing lips from over-chapping, allowing them to remain soft, moist and comfortable.
