A deliciously hydrating lip balm that melts on contact, wrapping your lips in a nourishing blend of butters and oils. Infused with a hint of ginger, it provides a gentle, warming sensation while delivering a sheer, natural-looking peach tint for a healthy, plump appearance. It's the perfect daily treatment for soft, comfortable, and subtly coloured lips, especially in Mauritius's variable climate.

For anyone struggling with dry, chapped, or pale lips, this balm offers immediate comfort and a touch of healthy colour.

• Texture: A solid balm that glides and melts into a smooth, glossy finish upon application.
• Sensation: Provides a mild, pleasant warming feeling from ginger root oil—not a strong, painful tingle.
• Colour: Sheer and natural "my lips but better" bare peach tint.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturises, smooths dry patches, and adds a subtle, healthy-looking gloss and colour.

1. Prep: Start with clean, dry lips. If you have flaky skin, gently exfoliate first.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Glide one or two swipes of the balm directly onto your lips.
3. Reapply As Needed: Keep it with you and reapply throughout the day whenever your lips feel dry.

Mindful Note: If you already have a lip balm you enjoy, finish it first! This product is a substitute for your current lip hydrator, not an extra step to stack.

This balm is your go-to for daily wear, either alone or with other lip products.

• Solo Use: Apply to bare lips for a natural, moisturised look with a hint of colour.
• As a Lip Primer: Apply a thin layer and let it sit for a minute before applying lipstick or lip tint. It creates a smooth, hydrated base and can prevent other products from settling into fine lines.
• As a Topper: Dab it over your favourite lip tint or matte lipstick to add a glossy finish and a boost of hydration.

While not a heavy-duty overnight mask, it's an excellent final step in your evening routine to keep lips from drying out overnight, especially in air-conditioned rooms.

1. Complete your evening facial skincare routine.
2. Apply a generous swipe of the Ginger Sugar Melting Balm to your lips as the very last step.
3. Wake up to softer, more comfortable lips.

• Amount: One to two swipes is enough to cover the lips. No need to apply a thick layer.
• Apply to: Clean, dry lips.
• Method: Glide the stick directly across your lips. You can press your lips together to distribute the product evenly.
• Frequency: Use as often as needed throughout the day. Perfect for reapplying after eating or drinking.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are very flaky: Use a gentle lip scrub first, then apply the balm to nourish the fresh skin underneath.
• If you want more colour: Apply a lip tint first, let it set, then top with this balm for a glossy, hydrated finish.
• If you are sensitive: The ginger oil creates a mild warming sensation. If you've reacted to plumping products before, patch test on your arm first.

• Immediately: Lips feel instantly hydrated, comfortable, and coated in a smooth, glossy film. You'll notice a sheer wash of peach colour and a gentle warming sensation.
• Within 1-2 Weeks: With regular daily use, you should notice a reduction in dryness and chapping. Lips will feel softer and smoother overall.
• Within 4-8+ Weeks: The cumulative effect of consistent nourishment helps improve the baseline condition of your lips, making them more resilient to dryness.

• Use This, Not Saliva: Licking your lips when they feel dry is a common habit, but saliva evaporates quickly and contains digestive enzymes that can break down the delicate skin, making them even drier. A nourishing balm provides lasting moisture and protection.
• Use This, Don't Pick: Picking at dry, flaky skin on your lips can cause bleeding, sores, and hyperpigmentation. Applying a thick layer of balm softens these flakes, making them easier to gently buff away or allowing them to heal naturally.

• Works Well With: Lip liners, lip tints, and most lipsticks. It can be used as a hydrating base or a glossy topper.
• Use Carefully With: Long-wear liquid lipsticks. Applying this balm underneath may reduce their longevity. It's better to apply it on top once the liquid lipstick has fully dried, if you need extra moisture.
• Avoid On: Not applicable. This is a very versatile lip product.

• Dry and chapped lips
• Lips that feel tight or uncomfortable
• Dull or pale lips needing a hint of natural colour
• Fine lines on lips (the balm helps to plump and hydrate, making them less visible)

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Ginger Root Oil (Zingiber Officinale Root Oil): Provides a natural, gentle warming sensation that can make lips appear slightly plumper. It also has antioxidant properties.
• Shea Butter, Cocoa Seed Butter, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil: A rich blend of plant-based emollients that deeply nourish, soften, and protect the lips from moisture loss, helping to heal chapped skin.
• Sugar (implied in product name): Natural sugars act as humectants, drawing moisture to the lips to keep them hydrated.
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps protect the delicate lip skin from environmental stressors.

Full INCI List: Diisostearyl Malate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Ceresin, Menthyl Lactate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Yellow 6 Lake (CI 15985), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850).

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance ('Parfum'/'Fragrance'). The scent is generally described as sweet and slightly spicy.
• Potential Irritants: Ginger Root Oil may cause a warming or tingling sensation that could be irritating for very sensitive individuals. Menthyl Lactate provides a cooling effect that complements the warming. Certain colourants can also be potential allergens for a small number of people.
• EU Allergens: None officially declared by the brand from the common EU allergen list. However, patch testing is always recommended for reactive skin.

This product is generally safe for most people. However, due to the inclusion of ginger oil and fragrance, a patch test is recommended if you have highly sensitive skin or known allergies.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the balm to a patch of skin on your inner arm.
2. Wait for 24 hours. A mild warming sensation is normal for this product, but look for signs of an adverse reaction like a persistent red rash, itching, or burning.
3. If no irritation occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your lips.
4. Discontinue use immediately if a reaction occurs.

Safety Note: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A firm solid in the tube that transforms into a soft, melty oil-balm texture upon contact with the warmth of the lips.
• Finish: Leaves a glossy, non-sticky sheen with a sheer tint of colour.
• Scent: Sweet with a subtle hint of spicy ginger.
• pH: Not applicable, as this is an anhydrous (water-free) formula.

• Issue: The warming sensation feels too strong.
  Solution: This balm might not be suitable for your sensitivity level. Discontinue use if it's uncomfortable. Try a balm without warming ingredients, like the Mixsoon Vegan Melting Lip Balm.
• Issue: The colour doesn't show up on my lips.
  Solution: This is a very sheer tint designed for a natural look. For more colour payoff, apply a lip tint first and use this balm as a glossy, hydrating top coat.
• Issue: The balm feels too soft or melty in the tube.
  Solution: In the Mauritian heat, balms can soften. Store it in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving it in a hot car or direct sunlight. If it gets too soft, placing it in the fridge for a short time can help it firm up again.

• Humid Summers: The glossy but non-sticky finish is comfortable even in high humidity and won't feel heavy or suffocating on the lips.
• Drier 'Winters' & Air-Conditioning: The nourishing blend of oils and butters provides an excellent protective barrier against moisture loss in drier air and air-conditioned environments, preventing chapping.
• Storage Tip: The "melting" formula means it can get very soft in high heat. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a car to prevent it from becoming messy or breaking in the tube.

Is the tingling or warming sensation strong like a lip plumper?

No, it's a very mild and gentle warming sensation from the ginger oil. Most users find it pleasant and not at all painful or tingly like traditional lip plumpers.

Is the "Bare Peach" colour very noticeable?

The colour is very sheer and designed to give a natural, healthy tint. It enhances your natural lip colour rather than providing opaque coverage like a lipstick.

Can I use this on very chapped or cracked lips?

Yes, absolutely. The nourishing butters and oils are excellent for soothing and healing chapped skin. Apply a generous layer before bed to help with recovery.
