Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Fragrance Free — the Japanese Lip Cream That Melts at Body Temperature
Imagine applying a lip balm and feeling it literally dissolve into a seamless cream layer. This is not marketing. This is technology. Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Fragrance Free by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Japan) is one of the best-selling lip balms in Asia — a cult product in Japanese lip care repurchased again and again for one reason: the sensation. Weightless. Velvety. Instant. At the core is Moist Bank Technology: the formula reacts with air moisture and melts at body temperature into a cream texture, forming a protective hydration barrier on the lips. Fragrance-free — for sensitive lips and those who avoid synthetic scents in cosmetics. Net weight: 2.4 g.
What Is Moist Bank Technology
Moist Bank is Rohto Mentholatum's patented technology. The balm formula contains components that react with water molecules in the air. Upon application, three processes occur simultaneously: body heat melts the base — squalane and petrolatum create an occlusive barrier; air moisture activates the hydrophilic components, integrating them into the protective barrier; ceramides and cholesterol replenish the lip skin's lipid composition at the cellular level. The result: lips that feel soft, plump and natural — with no film or waxy coating.
Who May Benefit
Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Fragrance Free is designed for those who:
- experience chronic lip dryness and flaking and are tired of balms that last only an hour
- cannot tolerate fragranced cosmetics or have sensitive lips
- want a lip balm with a maximally rich, verified ingredient list
- want to use it as a base under lipstick or lip tint
- live or work in dry air, air-conditioned environments or cold climates

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fragrance Free differ from other Melty Cream Lip versions?
Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip is available in several versions: Fragrance Free (no scent), Rich Honey, Milk Vanilla, Green Tea and other fragranced variants, as well as a version with SPF 25 PA+++. The Fragrance Free version has no UV filters and no added fragrance — maximally neutral and suitable for sensitive lips and those who avoid synthetic scents in cosmetics.
Does this version contain SPF?
No. This is the Fragrance Free version without SPF. The sun-protection version — Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip SPF 25 PA+++ — contains UV filters and is a distinct product.
Why does the formula contain so many oils?
Lip skin has no sebaceous glands and is significantly thinner than facial skin, requiring regular external nourishment. The multi-oil formula provides a full spectrum of fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, omega-9), antioxidant protection and deep softening. Each oil contributes specifically: jojoba for structural similarity to sebum, raspberry for natural antioxidants, sea buckthorn for carotenoids, argan for antioxidant protection, avocado for vitamins A and E.
Is this product a medicinal product?
No. Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Fragrance Free is a cosmetic lip care product. It is not a medicinal product.
