How does CornerSeal work?

At night your mouth relaxes and saliva slips into the corners, where it sits for hours. The skin goes soft, and the next yawn splits it open again. CornerSeal lays a thin film right in the corner: zinc oxide, an FDA skin protectant, seals out saliva while you sleep, and dexpanthenol (pro-vitamin B5) supports the skin's natural barrier. Its water-free base doesn't dissolve when it gets wet, unlike a regular lip balm.

How do I use it?

Every night before bed, after brushing your teeth, dry the corners of your mouth and apply one small dab with the fine tip to each corner. You can also apply it during the day if you like: it goes on clear.

Is there a steroid in it?

No. CornerSeal contains no hydrocortisone or any other steroid, no fragrance, no menthol and no camphor, so you can use it every night near your mouth.

Why didn't Vaseline or lip balm work for me?

They're made for your lips, not for the wet fold at the corner. Saliva lifts them off within minutes, and flavored or mentholated balms can make a crack sting even more. CornerSeal is built to stay put in that fold all night.

How fast will I notice a difference?

Everyone is different. Use it every night for at least 2 weeks to give your corners a real chance to settle, and keep using it as a nightly habit if yours tend to come back. Every order comes with our 60-day money-back guarantee.

Made for the corners. Nothing your lips don't need.

Why it keeps coming back

Your mouth corners aren't dry. They're soaking in saliva all night.

The corners of your mouth are the one spot on your face that stays wet almost all the time, and even more while you sleep.

How saliva reopens cracked mouth corners at night and how CornerSeal seals them

When you sleep, your mouth opens a little and saliva pools in the corners for hours. The skin turns soft and pale, like your fingers after a long bath, and the first big yawn splits it open. Germs from your mouth settle into the crack and keep it red and raw. Creams that target those germs can clear things up for a while, but the saliva comes back every night. In one long-term study, 80% of people cleared with antimicrobial creams got it again. CornerSeal works on the saliva itself.

1. Dry the corners

At bedtime, after brushing, pat the corners of your mouth dry.

10 seconds

2. One dab per corner

The fine tip lays a thin film in the fold. Zinc oxide seals out saliva while you sleep, and dexpanthenol supports the skin barrier.

Steroid-free. Fragrance-free. Menthol-free. Clear finish.

What's inside

Two active ingredients. A base that stays put.

No steroid, no fragrance, no essential oils. Just what the corners of your mouth need at night.

CornerSeal ingredients: zinc oxide, dexpanthenol, lanolin and beeswax
Skin protectant

Zinc Oxide

An FDA-recognized skin protectant. Forms a barrier that seals the corner from saliva and helps relieve chapped or cracked skin.

Zinc oxide is the skin protectant doctors have long used on raw skin exposed to moisture.

Barrier support

Dexpanthenol

Pro-vitamin B5. Supports the skin's natural barrier and helps the skin stay soft and comfortable.

In a randomized clinical study, a single application of dexpanthenol on the mouth corners cut next-day cracking from 44% to under 10%.

Water-free base

Lanolin

A rich, water-free base that doesn't melt away when it meets saliva.

Stays put

Beeswax

Helps the balm hold in the fold of the corner all night.
