What Makes Lip Renew Different from other Lip Balms?
Lip Renew is a special formula specifically designed to help wind musicians cope with swollen, stressed and overworked lips and muscles associated with demanding performance and rehearsal schedules. As an all natural formula created by experts in natural remedies, this cream has been tested by professional wind musicians who have applied it before, during and after performances. Our goal was to create something completely new and different from current products; one that could be used even during performance without having to wipe it off and would be known for being fast acting and highly effective.
Why is Lip Renew a cream and not a more conventional “stick”?
We created Lip Renew as a cream because we wanted it to work quickly to improve endurance during playing situations. Our research indicated that most products made in stick form have wax as a primary ingredient. Even natural waxes such as beeswax act as a moisture barrier. In our view, wax would prevent the active ingredients found in Lip Renew from penetrating into the lip tissue and mouth muscles. In short, we believe that Lip Renew would be less effective as a stick than as a cream.
Think about how waxes are used in other applications. They act as a barrier in foods such as fresh cheese, which have a wax covering. And waxes such as carnauba wax are found in high quality car waxes to produce a beautiful shine and barrier against rain.
Our new Lip Renew Recovery product is the first stick product free of wax, paraffin, petrolatum. Check it out as a perfect choice for recovery!
What’s in Lip Renew that makes it so special?
First, part of what makes Lip Renew special is what it does not contain. Our formula is free of waxes, petrolatum, camphor, saccharin, alcohol or harsh chemicals. It contains a blend of minerals, amino acids, plant extracts and oils that our research indicates has three key benefits. First, it rapidly reduces swelling of the lip tissue. Second, it reduces muscle fatigue in part by preventing the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle. Third, it improves oxygenation of the blood.

When can I use Lip Renew?
Lip Renew is made to be used anytime. You will especially note its effectiveness if you apply it lightly before you play or even during a performance. It is designed to absorb within seconds and does NOT need to be wiped off. Apply it lightly and see just how fast it works!
How do I apply Lip Renew?
Lip Renew is designed to be used not only for lips but by the muscles that help form the embouchure. We recommend applying Lip Renew to the lips, above and below the lips as well as the sides of the mouth. Just remember that this product is for external use only!
How often can I use Lip Renew?
Lip Renew can be used anytime and as often as you like. You won’t need much though! We recommend applying in thin layers as often as you feel you need it. Remember, it is professional strength!
What if I am a woodwind player? Will Lip Renew help me?
Absolutely! Lip Renew is effective for lips AND muscles. Make sure you apply it to the sides of the mouth where it will help in your endurance. And if you apply it to your lips, you won’t have to worry about it being a problem if you play a reed instrument. It absorbs in seconds and does not leave a waxy residue on the reed.
What is that cooling, tingling feeling?
You will experience a mild cooling sensation and possibly some tingling too. That means the active ingredients are penetrating into the lip and muscle tissue. It means that Lip Renew is working!
Why is Lip Renew so expensive?
There are a few reasons why Lip Renew is a premium priced product. First, our product is created at the US Botanical Safety Laboratory in North Carolina to ensure the quality of our ingredients and the effectiveness of our formula. Second, we use very high quality ingredients. These ingredients are also highly effective. We could make a cheaper formula but it would contain ingredients that we consider “fillers” without any benefit to you. And third, our formula contains concentrations of active ingredients to ensure that our product performs to our high standards of rapid relief and effectiveness. It isn’t just what you use, but how much you use that matters.
As a wind musician, your lips and mouth muscles are as important as the equipment you play on. We believe that Lip Renew works quickly and effectively to help your endurance. We think it’s worth every penny.
