Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Masking, Skin Conditioning

This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Learn more about Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

It’s not better than any other cheap(er) lip balm. It didn’t particularly help with hydration longer than few hours.
Also the cap is horrible to put on! Overall I can’t imagine that all product can be squeezed out of it. And since you can’t place it upside down (due horrible cap), pretty sure most of it will not come out at some point.

Disappointing. Doesn’t do much for my lips. No noticeable improvement. No healing. Then the applicator tip fell off and made application messy and inconvenient. I threw it away and won’t buy it again.
