If your lips feel constantly dry, chapped, and uncomfortable, this melting balm provides instant, soothing hydration with a hint of natural-looking color.

• What it is: A deeply moisturizing tinted lip balm that melts on contact for a smooth, glossy finish.
• What it does: Infused with ginger, sugar, and shea butter, it nourishes, softens, and protects lips from dryness without feeling sticky.
• Who it's for: Anyone seeking a hydrating lip treatment that doubles as a sheer, everyday lip color. Ideal for those with dry or flaky lips.

1. Prep (Optional): Gently exfoliate lips if they are flaky.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Swipe directly onto lips. See "How to Use" for amount.
3. Reapply as needed: Use throughout the day to maintain moisture and color.

Note: Already own a similar lip balm? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

This lip balm can be used as needed throughout the day in both your AM and PM routines.

• AM: Apply as the final step of your skincare, before or after sunscreen application to the face. It can be worn alone for a natural look or under/over other lip products.
• PM: Apply after cleansing your face to keep lips hydrated overnight, or as a touch-up if needed.

• Amount: Twist up a small amount of product. One or two swipes are enough for a sheer, hydrated look. The balm is non-retractable, so only twist up as much as you need.
• Apply to: Dry, clean lips.
• Method: Glide the balm smoothly across your lips. It melts on contact for easy application.
• Frequency: Reapply as often as needed throughout the day to maintain moisture and a glossy tint.

Watchouts: Be careful not to twist up too much product at once, as it cannot be retracted. The color is sheer and will wear off with eating and drinking, requiring reapplication.

• Immediate: Lips feel instantly hydrated, soothed, and appear glossy with a sheer mauve tint.
• 1-2 Weeks: With consistent use, lips feel softer and less prone to chapping and flakiness.
• 4+ Weeks: The overall condition of your lips improves, feeling healthier and naturally smoother even without the balm on.

• Why this, not that: Instead of licking dry lips, which worsens dehydration, apply a nourishing balm like this one. Saliva evaporates quickly, leaving lips drier than before, while this balm creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture.

• Works With: Lip liners (for more definition), other lip tints (apply this balm over a tint for a glossy, hydrated finish), and lip scrubs (use a scrub before application for the smoothest result).
• Use Carefully With: Matte lipsticks. Applying this balm underneath can alter the matte finish. Applying it over can turn a matte look into a glossy one.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance (Parfum). The scent is generally described as light and sweet.
• EU Allergens: None explicitly declared by the brand. However, the term "Parfum" can conceal various potential allergens.
• Botanical Sensitizers: Contains Ginger Root Extract, which could be a potential sensitizer for some individuals.

A patch test on the inner arm is advised before first use, especially for those with sensitive skin or known fragrance allergies.

Who Should Use: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with dry or chapped lips.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the balm to a discreet area, like your inner arm or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or swelling.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your lips.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs and consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.

• Texture: A soft, buttery solid balm that melts into a smooth, oil-like texture upon contact with the warmth of the lips.
• Finish: Clear, dewy, and glossy without being sticky.
• Scent: Contains a light, sweet fragrance.
• Color: #02 Soft Mauve is a sheer, subtle mauve-pink tint that provides a natural, healthy look to the lips.

• "The color is too sheer." -> This is a tinted balm, not a lipstick, so the color payoff is naturally subtle. For more impact, apply it over a lip tint or use a lip liner underneath.
• "The balm broke or won't retract." -> This product is non-retractable to maintain the soft, melting formula. Only twist up a very small amount (1-2mm) per use to prevent breakage.
• "It wears off quickly." -> As a hydrating balm, it does not have the staying power of a liquid lipstick. Reapplication is necessary, especially after eating or drinking.

• Humid Summer: Perfect for a glossy, non-sticky lip look that won't feel heavy in the humidity. It provides a touch of color without the feel of a heavy lipstick.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: An essential product to combat the drying effects of indoor air conditioning. Its rich, moisturizing formula provides a strong barrier to prevent chapped lips.

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from online forums and review sites, not medical advice. Individual results may vary.

• One reviewer described the "Soft Mauve" shade as a "very subtle" color that looks like a nude brown in normal light but almost pink in bright light, praising its instant hydrating feel and shine. (Paraphrased from Nykaa review)
• Another user with a fair-to-medium skin tone and cool undertone called this shade a "perfect match," noting how well it hydrates their lips. (Paraphrased from Nykaa review)
• A common point of feedback is that the balm is non-retractable, so users caution to only twist up a small amount at a time to avoid waste. The color is also noted to wear off quickly, requiring frequent reapplication. (Aggregated from multiple reviews)
• One user noted that while the formula is universally flattering, it has "absolutely no staining effect," which can be a pro for those who dislike stains but a con for longevity. (Paraphrased from Hwahae review)
