Dealing with dry, chapped lips that need both moisture and a hint of natural color can be a daily challenge. This melting lip balm offers an instant solution by combining the nourishment of shea butter with a subtle, warm nude tint.

• What it is: A buttery, tinted lip balm that melts on contact, providing a glossy finish and sheer color.
• What it does: Deeply moisturizes with Ginger Oil and Shea Butter, smooths lip texture, and adds a natural-looking "Fig Beige" hue.
• Who it's for: Anyone seeking a comfortable, non-sticky daytime lip balm for dry lips that also provides a minimal, "my lips but better" look.

1. Prep Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. For best results, gently exfoliate away any dry flakes first.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Swipe the balm directly onto your lips. One layer gives a sheer wash of color; add more for deeper hydration and tint.
3. Reapply As Needed: Keep it with you to reapply throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking, or when in dry, air-conditioned environments.

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

Apply as the final step of your morning skincare routine. It can be worn alone for a natural look or under a gloss. If wearing lipstick, this can act as a hydrating base, but allow it to absorb for a minute first.

While designed for daytime wear, you can apply a layer before bed as a light overnight treatment to keep lips soft. For very dry lips, consider a dedicated, thicker lip sleeping mask for more intensive repair.

• Amount: One to two swipes are usually sufficient for full coverage.
• Apply to: Direct to lips. Can be reapplied without a mirror due to its sheer, forgiving color.
• Method: Glide the stick across your lips. Press lips together to evenly distribute the balm.
• Frequency: Use as often as needed throughout the day to maintain moisture and color.

• Immediate: Lips feel instantly softer, smoother, and more comfortable. A sheer, glossy tint of "Fig Beige" color appears, evening out lip tone.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice a general improvement in lip texture. Lips feel less prone to chapping and dryness.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The cumulative effect of daily hydration helps maintain a healthier lip barrier, resulting in lips that are consistently soft and supple.

• Why this, not just picking at dry lips: Picking or biting off dry flakes creates micro-tears, which can lead to inflammation, soreness, and even hyperpigmentation. A nourishing balm like this one smooths the appearance of flakes with emollients and provides a protective barrier, allowing lips to heal.
• Why this, not harsh DIY sugar scrubs: While exfoliation helps, aggressive DIY scrubs with large sugar crystals can be too abrasive for delicate lip skin, causing irritation. This balm contains sugar (sucrose), which acts as a humectant to draw in moisture, providing a gentle way to keep lips smooth without harsh scrubbing.

• Works with: Can be layered over lip stains for a glossy finish, or used as a hydrating base before creamy lipsticks. It pairs well with any daily skincare routine.
• Use carefully with: Matte liquid lipsticks. The oils in the balm can break down the long-wear formula of a matte liquid lip, causing it to smudge or wear off faster. Apply the balm and blot well before applying a matte lipstick, or use it for touch-ups once the matte lipstick has worn off.

Suitable for all skin types. It is especially beneficial for those with dry, chapped, or sensitive lips seeking gentle hydration and a touch of color.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum") and Ginger Root Oil.

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand on the available INCI list.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with a known allergy to ginger, shea butter, or other botanical ingredients should exercise caution.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the balm to a patch of skin on your inner arm or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or irritation persists. Keep out of reach of children.

• pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous (water-free) formula.

• Issue: Balm feels too soft or is melting in the tube. Quick Fix: This is common due to its "melting" formula. Store it in a cool, dry place. In Mauritius's heat, avoid leaving it in a car or direct sunlight. If it gets too soft, you can place it in the refrigerator for a short time to firm up. Twist up only a small amount at a time to prevent breakage.
• Issue: The color is too sheer. Quick Fix: This balm is designed for a natural, sheer tint. For more color payoff, apply several layers, or use it on top of a lip stain to add hydration and a glossy finish.
• Issue: Not hydrating enough for severely chapped lips. Quick Fix: Use this balm for daytime maintenance. At night, apply a thick layer of a dedicated lip sleeping mask (like the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask) for intensive repair.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-sticky formula is comfortable even in high humidity. It provides a touch of moisture and color without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: Excellent for combating dryness from indoor air-conditioning or the slightly cooler, drier winter months. Reapply as needed to maintain a protective barrier.
• Coastal Conditions: The buttery formula helps protect lips from the drying effects of wind and salt spray.
• Storage Warning: Due to its very soft, melty texture, be extra careful to store this balm in a cool place and avoid leaving it in hot cars, where it can easily melt completely.

Disclaimer: The following are aggregated user sentiments and should be considered anecdotal. Individual results will vary.

• Amazon customer review (2024-05): A reviewer praised the "Fig Beige" shade, calling it a perfect "MLBB" (My Lips But Better) color that is not too orange or pink. They loved how moisturizing it felt, comparing it to a luxury lip balm but at a much better price.
• YesStyle review (2024-03): One user mentioned it feels "super buttery and smooth" and has a "very subtle sweet ginger scent." They noted it provides a beautiful glossy finish that makes lips look plump and healthy.
• Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-02): The general consensus is that this balm is extremely hydrating and comfortable. A common fair caveat, however, is that the formula is very soft. Multiple users warned that it gets used up very quickly and can melt or break easily in warm weather, advising to only twist up a tiny amount for each use.

Is the ETUDE Ginger Sugar Melting Balm sticky?

No, it is known for its smooth, non-sticky texture. It melts into a comfortable, buttery layer that feels more like a nourishing treatment than a tacky gloss.

Does the ginger oil cause a strong tingling or plumping sensation?

No, the ginger effect is very mild. Most users report a very subtle, pleasant warmth and a sweet ginger scent, rather than a strong, spicy tingle associated with lip plumping products.

Is this lip balm vegan?

How does the "Fig Beige" shade look on different skin tones?

01 Fig Beige is a very sheer, warm nude color. On lighter lip tones, it adds a hint of warm beige-pink. On more pigmented lips, it provides a glossy finish and can help to neutralize or even out the natural lip color, giving a healthy, polished look. Its sheerness makes it very forgiving and suitable for a wide range of skin tones.

• Best For: Those who want a comfortable, everyday tinted balm that provides instant moisture, a glossy finish, and a natural nude tint.
• Key Benefits: Deeply hydrating with a non-sticky melting texture. Provides a sheer, "my lips but better" color. Portable and easy to apply on the go.
