I have always struggled to find lipsticks and balms that actually work but delighted that now I have thanks to Ruby Hammer! Ruby Hammer’s range is where colour meets care and this lovely Lip Serum Balm is a luxurious hybrid as it merges sheer pigment with high-performance actives to deeply nourish, soften and visibly smooth your lips. This lip serum balm is lightweight, soft melting and has a non-sticky formula that delivers a wash of dewy colour whilst it cocoons your lips in lasting hydration. If you continue to use this beautiful balm then it will help strengthen your delicate skin barrier, leaving lips softer, smoother and certainly more resilient over time. I am so happy to have found this lip serum balm from Ruby Hammer. Ruby suggests that you think of it as your lip colour, reimagined through a skincare lens. It is really soft and creamy and so easy to apply that I am sure you will love it as much as I do.
The reason this balm is so soft is because there is serious science behind it as it is infused with a curated complex of skin-conditioning ingredients that are known for their restorative and protective properties. These are:
- Sativa Seed Oil – Known to relieve inflammation, this botanical oil soothes and softens, making it ideal for sensitive or dry lips.
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil – A lightweight yet powerful hydrator that locks in moisture, preventing dryness throughout the day.
- Licorice Leaf Extract – Helps balance moisture and visibly smooth the skin around the lips for a fresh, plumped appearance.
- Dipalmityl Hydroxyproline + Palmitic Acid – Plant-derived actives that reinforce the skin barrier and help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Cocoa Butter – Rich in fatty acids, it melts into the lips to condition and repair rough or chapped skin.
I tried the Nude during the day and the Red for an evening out and both shades got positive comments from friends and colleagues and I totally delighted with both shades and the texture was amazing. The Nude shade was a whisper soft pink based nude that I am sure will work with every skin tone, whilst the red is a timeless vivid red, bold, yet very wearable and not at all scary and is an instant complexion lifter.
I am not surprised that this lip balm is an Award Winner being the Beauty Shortlist Award 2023 | Best Lip Product Breakthrough and the Woman & Home Beauty Awards 2022 | Best Lip Balm.

WHY WE EDIT
After 40 years as a working beauty artist, I know that the products that matter are the ones you rely on again and again. The ones that earn their place.
Ruby Hammer Beauty is not a trend-led brand. We focus on expertly edited essentials and icons only, refining each product until it performs reliably in real life.
Beauty is personal and no professional uses only one brand, so we never expect our customers to. That honesty shapes everything we make.
Our promise is simple. If we make it, it is one of the best you can buy.
