Powered by patent-pending XDF™ (Transdermal Flavosomes), our pharmaceutical-grade delivery system designed to transport bioactive flavonoids into living skin tissue, rather than leaving them on the surface.
- 75% Transdermal delivery: Franz Cell studies confirm 75% of applied flavonoids reach viable skin tissue
- 400× Better than conventional skincare: Independent flux measurements vs. published literature baseline demonstrate 400x better penetration
In stressed human dermal fibroblasts, XDF™-delivered flavonoids reduced key inflammatory markers by 87–99%, directly interrupting the biological signals that drive redness, irritation, and flare activity.
In independent testing, XDF™-delivered flavonoids demonstrated:
- 87–88% reduction in IL-6
- 98–99% reduction in IL-8
- 91% reduction in TNF-α
- Complete normalization of CRP to baseline levels
Together, these markers represent the core drivers of visible inflammation, flare severity, delayed healing, and barrier disruption. The result is immediate interruption of active irritation and durable protection against future flare cycles.
In a comparative consumer study, MARK’s Lip Health products:
- Were rated significantly superior to OTC cold sore treatments
- Outperformed even prescription options in user-reported experience
- Delivered faster visible recovery with improved comfort and less irritation
Validating XDF™’s ability to deliver anti-inflammatory and antiviral flavonoid activity in real-world use, without the dryness or discomfort common to conventional treatments.
Apply throughout the day as needed. Use after Lip Rescue Serum during active flare-ups or alone for daily maintenance.

Lip Health Balm
I'm using the balm now twice a day (along with the serum, once) to try to stave off winter- and stress-related cold sores. SO far I'm very happy with it. The very tiniest drop possible is plenty each time to cover my lips. I use a heavier lip balm stick for going outside, but this is terrific. Very pleased.
The Lip Health Balm from Mark Los Angeles is that rare lip product that actually works. Lightweight, deeply hydrating, and not greasy. My lips feel better, not just coated. Instant staple. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Aside from cold sore prevention, I feel like this is strengthening the skin on my previously chapped, splitting lips. After just a few nights of use I am waking up with fuller-looking, more hydrated pink lips. Maybe the circulation to my lips has increased too since they are a pretty shade of red pink instead of super pale like usual.
This is the most luxurious product you will ever put on your lips. It feels so smooth and creamy and delicious. I wear it to keep my lips moist and to prevent cold sores. It is by far the best lip balm I’ve ever bought and I love that it has healthy ingredients so that when it’s absorbed into my body, it’s good for me.
Been using the lip balm as a preventative and have not gotten a cold sore since. Not even after a day on the water when my face got hit with salt water, wind and sun. This in combination with the serum has saved me a few cold sore outbreaks already and I’m grateful.
