At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with dry, chapped lips that feel tight or flaky can be a constant discomfort. This vegan lip oil provides soothing hydration with a beautiful, non-sticky glossy finish, acting as both a treatment and a gloss.
- What it is: A nourishing lip oil that smooths, plumps, and hydrates the lips.
- What it does: Instantly relieves dryness, softens chapped texture, and leaves a high-shine, glassy finish without feeling heavy or sticky. The #Calming Purple variant offers a very sheer, cool-toned tint that brightens the natural lip color.
- Who it's for: Perfect for anyone with dry, dehydrated, or chapped lips seeking both a treatment and a comfortable gloss.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep Lips (Optional): For the smoothest finish, gently exfoliate lips with a lip scrub if they are flaky.
- Apply Lip Oil: Glide one swipe of the LAKA Soul Vegan Lip Oil over clean, dry lips.
- Reapply as Needed: Use throughout the day for a constant dose of hydration and shine.
Mindful Tip: Already own a lip balm or gloss? Finish that one first to prevent waste before adding a new one to your routine.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
In the morning, this lip oil can be used in two primary ways:
- As a Final Skincare Step: After completing your facial skincare and sunscreen application, apply the lip oil to bare lips for a natural, hydrated look.
- As a Lip Gloss: Apply over your favorite lip tint or lipstick to add a layer of high shine and prevent the color from drying out your lips.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
At night, use this oil as an intensive lip treatment:
- Cleanse: Ensure your lips are clean and free of any makeup.
- Apply Generously: Apply a slightly thicker layer of the lip oil before bed. It will work overnight to deeply nourish and repair dry, chapped lips, leaving them soft and smooth by morning.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A single swipe with the doe-foot applicator is enough to cover the lips.
- Apply to: Direct to clean lips.
- Method: Glide the applicator smoothly from one corner of your lips to the other. Press lips together to evenly distribute.
- Frequency: As often as needed throughout the day when lips feel dry, or as a final touch to your makeup. Use nightly for an intensive treatment.
Mode-Switching:
- Topper Gloss: Wait for your lip tint or lipstick to set for a minute, then apply a thin layer of the oil on top for a glassy effect.
- Overnight Mask: Apply a liberal amount as the very last step of your PM routine to create a nourishing, protective film while you sleep.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 2+ weeks)
- Immediate: Lips instantly feel more comfortable, hydrated, and look plump with a high-gloss shine. Dryness and tightness are immediately relieved.
- 1-2 Weeks: With consistent daily and/or nightly use, you should notice that your lips are fundamentally softer, smoother, and less prone to chapping and flaking.
- 4+ Weeks: The cumulative nourishing effects help improve the overall health of your lip barrier. Fine lines on the lips may appear less prominent due to sustained hydration.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Lip tints, matte lipsticks, lip liners, and other lip balms. It's an excellent final step to add moisture and shine.
- Use Carefully With: N/A. Lip oils are generally very compatible with other lip products.
- How to Layer: For a long-lasting look, apply lip liner first, then your lip color (tint or lipstick), let it set, and finish with a thin layer of the LAKA Lip Oil.

Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
- MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic for wrinkle improvement, brightening, or UV protection by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (formerly KFDA) in South Korea.
- Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic for moisturizing and beautifying the lips. It is not a medical treatment for any disease. For persistent or severe lip conditions, please consult a healthcare professional.
Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
The full INCI list has not been published by the brand for global distribution. However, based on its function, it is formulated with a blend of nourishing, non-volatile plant oils.
Key Ingredients (Ingredient Rationale):
- Nourishing Plant Oils (e.g., Jojoba, Sunflower, Sweet Almond Oil): These oils are rich in fatty acids and vitamins. They form a protective, non-greasy barrier on the lips that locks in moisture, softens rough patches, and prevents further dehydration from wind or dry air.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the delicate lip skin from environmental stressors. It also has moisturizing and healing properties that help repair chapped lips.
- Soothing Botanical Extracts: The "Calming" aspect likely comes from plant extracts known to reduce irritation and sensitivity, making the oil comfortable even on cracked lips.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Likely contains minimal to no added artificial fragrance. The scent, if any, is expected to be very light and derived from the natural plant oils in the formula.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. Without a complete INCI list, full verification is not possible. A patch test is always recommended for highly sensitive individuals.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
This product is formulated for all lip types, including those prone to dryness and sensitivity.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small amount of the lip oil to a corner of your lip or the skin just beside your mouth.
- Wait for 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or swelling.
- If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use immediately if irritation develops.
Safety First: For external use only. Avoid ingestion. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs and consult a professional.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A smooth, cushiony oil-gel that glides effortlessly onto the lips.
- Finish: High-shine, glassy, and plump-looking without shimmer or glitter. Non-sticky and comfortable for long wear.
- Scent: Expected to be minimal, with a faint, natural scent from its botanical oils.
- Color: #Calming Purple provides a very sheer, translucent cool-toned tint that enhances the natural color of the lips, making them look bright and healthy.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This lip oil is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate year-round.
- Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-sticky formula feels comfortable and breathable, providing a glossy look without feeling heavy or melting in the heat.
- Drier/Cooler Months & Air-Conditioning: It provides an essential protective barrier against moisture loss, preventing lips from becoming dry and chapped in air-conditioned offices or during cooler, windy days.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product) (brand vs independent data)
The benefits described for this product are based on the established functions of its key ingredient types.
- Ingredient Rationale: The claims for hydration, nourishment, and protection are based on the well-documented properties of plant-based oils (like Jojoba) and Vitamin E in cosmetic science for forming occlusive films and providing antioxidant benefits to the skin.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
- Size: 4.5ml
- Estimated Uses: A 4.5ml tube of lip oil, when used 1-2 times daily, should last for approximately 3-4 months. Frequent reapplication will shorten this duration.
- Reorder Cue: Consider reordering when the applicator starts to pull less product and you need to pump it more to get sufficient coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is the LAKA Soul Vegan Lip Oil sticky?
- No, it is formulated to be lightweight and non-sticky. It provides a comfortable, smooth glaze of moisture and shine without the tacky feeling common in older gloss formulas.
- Can I use this as an overnight lip mask?
- Yes, absolutely. Applying a thicker layer before bed allows the nourishing oils to work overnight, helping to repair and soften very dry or chapped lips. You'll wake up with a smoother, more hydrated pout.
- Is the "Calming Purple" color very pigmented?
- No, the color is extremely sheer and translucent. It is designed to give a subtle, cool-toned brightness to your natural lip color, making them look healthy and vibrant, rather than providing opaque coverage like a lipstick.
- Does it have a strong taste or smell?
- This lip oil is expected to have a very mild, neutral scent derived from its natural ingredients, with no strong artificial flavors or fragrances.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Individuals looking for a daily lip product that combines the hydration of a balm with the high shine of a gloss, in a comfortable, non-sticky vegan formula.
- Key Benefits: Instantly soothes and moisturizes dry lips, provides a beautiful glassy finish, and can be used as an overnight treatment.
- Keep in Mind: The tint is very sheer, so it enhances rather than covers natural lip color. As an oil, it will need to be reapplied after eating or drinking to maintain the glossy finish.
