How it works

This tinted lip balm aims to improve the appearance of lips by using key ingredients that provide moisture and subtle color. Bis-diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 and Hydrogenated Polyisobutene act as emollients, delivering and retaining moisture to ensure lips feel soft and smooth. Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Jojoba Esters condition the skin of the lips, enhancing their texture. Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate helps in forming a stable product, while Ceresin and Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax contribute to the balm’s thickness and overall texture. Tridecyl Trimellitate forms a light film on the lips, adding a protecting layer. Together, these ingredients provide hydration and a delicate tint, aiming to give lips a better appearance.
