The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["Murend's Turmeric Lip Balm, model ML0002-B, comes as a 2 piece stick set for $8.99. Turmeric oil is listed as the special ingredient, in an orange flavored, matte finish balm marketed toward smokers and toward dull or dark toned lips generally.", "The brand describes the balm as hydrating, moisturizing, nourishing, repairing, and smoothing, and lists it as hypoallergenic and made with natural ingredients in a travel friendly size. The marketing language around fading the look of discoloration is the brand's own positioning, not something we can independently verify from the listing.", 'Reviews sit at 4.2 from 207 ratings, with 2 units bought in the last month. That is a modest but positive track record for a budget priced, ingredient led lip balm.']
Pros
- Two balms for under $9 keeps the per stick cost low
- Turmeric oil is clearly named as the formula's special ingredient
- Matte, non shiny finish suits daily wear
- Listed as hypoallergenic with natural ingredients
- Travel size sticks are easy to carry
Cons
- Claims about fading discoloration are brand marketing, not a guarantee
- Matte finish will not suit those who prefer a glossy lip balm
- Review count of 207 is on the smaller side for this category
Performance notes
Turmeric is a long used botanical ingredient valued in skin care for its natural pigment and its place in traditional skin routines, and here it is combined into a wax based stick with a matte finish rather than a glossy one. The formula also leans on the orange flavor and natural ingredient positioning rather than a long list of added actives, which keeps the ingredient list simple.
What buyers say
A 4.2 rating from 207 reviews is a decent, steady result for a lower priced lip balm, though the sample size and single digit recent purchase count suggest this has not become a high volume seller yet.

Frequently asked questions
What does the turmeric do in this lip balm?
Turmeric oil is listed as the balm's special ingredient, and the brand markets it toward dull or dark toned lips. That is the brand's own positioning, so treat it as a marketing claim rather than a verified result.
Is this balm glossy or matte?
It has a matte finish, according to the listing, so it will not add shine the way some other lip balms in this category do.
How many balms come in one order?
This listing is for a 2 piece set, so you get two sticks for the $8.99 price.
