Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Aroma refers to an ingredient, or mixture of ingredients, that impart or mask a flavor.
The name is slightly confusing. This is because INCI associates aroma with flavor instead of smell.
Here is the official definition from the The International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook:
“Aroma is a term for ingredient labeling used to identify that a product contains a material or combination of materials normally added to a cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular flavor.”
INCI shows the only purpose of aroma to be "flavouring".
However, due to regulation differences, some companies may use aroma in place of parfum.
In Canada, this ingredient only has to be listed in concentrations above 1%.

Absolutely Love!
I've been using this since I was around 16. It's unlike any other lip moisturizers out there! It doesn't feel like a film that just sits on top of your lips where the dry patches aren't softened, NOPE! This softens your lips INSTANTLY. So amazing for all seasons, especially winter or if you're living in a dry climate, like me!
I'll be adding a simple description for those that don't like reading paragraphs:
- Instantly softens your lips and yes, those dry patches on it too!
- Deeply hydrates your lips and doesn't go away so easily like other lip moisturizers. (Stays for an hour or more for me and when it's gone, my lips still feel moisturized.)
- Since this is Vaseline, it has its standard nice and soft jelly texture.
- Perfect for all seasons, especially if you live in a dry climate and has winter arriving.
- Feels light!
- This has a flowery/rose scent (yes, you can smell it under your nose) but I don't mind that type of thing. Is the fragrance strong? Mid-level.
+ (if you're looking for something that doesn't have fragrance, Vaseline's ENTIRE lip therapy line has something for you, especially the "Original Vaseline Lip Therapy" that has the same packaging) And don't worry, the formula/results in which it softens your lips and hydrates DOES NOT change with whichever you choose from it)
- Tints your lips a natural pink and generally enhances your natural lip color. Amazing for all skin tones in my opinion.
+ (I use this for my everyday natural makeup look)
The only lip moisturizers I love is Vaseline's lip therapy and Laneige lip mask. Both do amazing jobs that ACTUALLY moisturizes and gives you a pleasant experience throughout.
