• Apricot Kernel Oil: Rich in Vitamin E, this oil is a well-known emollient that effectively soothes and moisturizes dry and chapped lips, helping to restore their softness and suppleness.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the delicate lip skin from oxidative damage caused by environmental factors, keeping the lips healthy and youthful-looking.

Side Effects

Himalaya Strawberry Shine Lip Care is generally very well-tolerated due to its gentle, herbal formulation and lack of harsh chemicals. No severe or widespread side effects are commonly reported with its regular use.

However, as with any personal care product, individual sensitivities can exist. Potential, though rare, side effects or considerations include:

• Mild Irritation or Allergic Reaction: In very rare cases, individuals might experience a mild allergic reaction to one of the natural ingredients (e.g., strawberry extract, apricot oil) or other components. This could manifest as slight redness, itching, swelling, or a rash on the lips. If such a reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately.
• Sensitivity to Fragrance/Flavor: While the strawberry flavor is generally well-liked, some individuals might be sensitive to fragrances, even natural ones, experiencing minor discomfort.

Precautions:

• External Use Only: This product is intended for external use on the lips only.
• Avoid Ingestion: While generally safe if a small amount is accidentally ingested, it’s not meant for consumption.
• Discontinue Use: If any irritation, discomfort, or adverse reaction persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Ensure the product is stored safely away from infants and small children.

Prescription Information

Himalaya Strawberry Shine Lip Care 4.5g is an over-the-counter (OTC) personal care product and does not require a prescription from a doctor. It is categorized as an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine/cosmetic, meaning it’s based on traditional Indian medicinal principles and can be purchased freely without a medical consultation.

While it does not require a prescription, it is always recommended to:

• Read the Product Label: Always read and adhere to the instructions, ingredient list, and any warnings provided on the product packaging before use.
• Perform a Patch Test (if sensitive): If you have a history of allergies or very sensitive skin/lips, it’s prudent to apply a tiny amount to an inconspicuous area (like behind the ear or inside the forearm) and wait 24-48 hours to check for any adverse reactions before applying it regularly to your lips.
• Consult a Professional: If you have severe or persistent lip conditions (e.g., chronic cheilitis, severe cracking that doesn’t heal) or specific dermatological concerns, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the most suitable treatment, which may include or exclude this product.
