Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant and preservative.
As an antioxidant, it helps your body fight off free-radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells.
As a preservative, it is used to stabilize products and prevent them from degrading. Specifically, BHT prevents degradation from oxidation.
The concerns related to BHT come from oral studies; this ingredient is currently allowed for use by both the FDA and EU.
However, it was recently restricted for use in the UK as of April 2024.

Love it as a lip stain. I can’t comment on how it works as blush though; I’ve heard it’s not the best when it comes to blush.
I have tried this both on my lips and on my cheeks. I love the color and it smells good, in my opinion. What I don’t love about this is that this is not long lasting.
