Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Diisostearyl Malate is an emollient and most often used in lip products. It comes from isostearyl alcohol, a fatty acid, and malic acid, an AHA.
As an emollient, Diisostearyl Malate helps create a thin film on your skin to trap moisture in. This helps keep your skin soft and smooth.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer. Polymers are compounds with high molecular weight. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is an emollient and texture enhancer.
In one study, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene showed better skin hydration levels than Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. As an emollient, it helps keep your skin soft and hydrated by trapping moisture in.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is often used as a mineral oil replacement.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate (long name, huh?) is a synthetic antioxidant.
It is used to help stabilize other antioxidants or prevent the color from changing in a product.
As an antioxidant, it helps fight free-radical molecules. Free-radical molecules are capable of damaging our cells and other genetic material. Thus, antioxidants may reduce the signs of aging.
This ingredient is oil-soluble.
Learn more about Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl HydroxyhydrocinnamateLimonene is a fragrance that adds scent and taste to a formulation.
It's found in the peel oil of citrus fruits and other plants such as lavender and eucalyptus. The scent of limonene is generally described as "sweet citrus".
Limonene acts as an antioxidant, meaning it helps neutralize free radicals.
When exposed to air, oxidized limonene may sensitize the skin. Because of this, limonene is often avoided by people with sensitive skin.
The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

Super Nourishing
This lip mask is packed full of nourishing oils and shea butter. For me, I've found that I prefer these occlusive ingredients to plain vaseline (which works perfectly fine for the lips, however I find that it causes a weird taste in the back of my throat). My lips used to be very dry and rough, but this mask has done wonders for softening my lips and preventing peeling dead skin. This mask will also last you forever! You really don't need a lot of product when you are just putting it on your lips.
This product does contain fragrance however, but I suspect its purpose is just to mask an unpleasant scent that sometimes occurs naturally with skincare ingredients. I say this because this lip mask has very little scent at all. When I first bought it I assumed it would smell like apples, but it's more akin to that generic faint lip balm smell.

Gave this product a try because I wanted a vegan lip mask to use at night. It exceeded my expectations!
My lips are on the dry side. For years, the only product that worked for me was the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
This product gives me soft and hydrated lips every morning, without fail. The consistency is very thick and a little gooey, but a little goes a long way. I enjoy the smell - it has a light apple fragrance.

I wanted to love this - all the ingredients are great (you don't often see peptides and vitamin c that aren't at the very end of the list) - it even has a pleasant smell the consistency is where is fails - greasy, unpleasant, globby to apply. I hate it. 2 stars because (1) it's an improvement over the lackluster Laneige alternative, (1) for adding good ingredients.
