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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

The Gloss Balm from Glow Recipe is a standout for me. It’s packed not just with hyaluronic acid but also enriched with a variety of nourishing ingredients. The result is plump and juicy lips. It has great short- and long-term plumping benefits. Applying it in a thicker layer works great for an overnight lip mask. It also delights with its subtle scent and a hint of sweetness in its taste. Plus, it is vegan, cruelty-free, and reef safe.
